3 new players coming into the program.
Myles Douglas, a 6-2, 295 pound OL coming from Tennessee Tech
Jadan Starks, a 6-3, 330 pound OL from Laney College
Kyle Gregg, a 6-3, 245 pound TE from Butte College
-
FINALLY some OL help. The way it's looked they might as well be starting me at QB, that way, when the OL gets the QB killed, it won't be any lose for the team!
-
Now some bad football news....WR Zach Farrar has left the program as a grad transfer.

That stinks. I thought he was really talented, I don't know if he got in the dog house or was injured but his playing time dried up, so I can't blame the kid.
Tough loss.
-
He is headed to Auburn.

He is headed to Auburn.
>:( yeah you could say we really blew this one huh?
-
it is troubling that the football program is stuck in neutral.
-
However, if he is good enough for Auburn, however are we able to keep him in YSU.
-
It appears from a far that everything is thriving at YSU and growing except the football program......
-
Farrar is listed on the 2019 football roster as having junior eligibility. So how can he be classified as a grad transfer if he did not graduate? (unless he graduated in three years, including a transfer....virtually impossible.) So if he is not a grad transfer, how can he play next year at Auburn after moving from FCS to FBS? Or does he just intend to play baseball and is the transfer rule for that sport different from football?
And if he was not injured, why did he get beat out for playing time last season by receivers that did not begin their college careers at Oklahoma? This whole thing is weird.

He is graduating this summer. He was in Bo's dog house all year. Our most talented WR but once mid year came, he was out of the rotation.
-
graduating early this summer? So this guy is not only talented, he is a hardworker. So how did he get into Bo's dog house I wonder?

Ok, let me guess... Trying to play baseball!

We're not good enough to put our best players on the bench. This is a huge mistake by this staff.
But no media scrutiny about things like this, no accountability, no tough questions to answer.
Quite the change from Nebraska.
We'd rather be mediocre and hold grudges haha.
-
when apathy sets in, which it has no one cares. so it becomes the status quo year after year after year.
-
I think he was a cancer in the locker room. The kid has shown no allegiance to anything but himself. No loss here. That would be 4 schools sounds addition by subtraction to me.
-
Tiquest Terry, a 5-9 WR has committed to YSU. Was previously committed to Virginia. Held offers from several D1 offers.
-
Looks like a great late pick up. Nice video on hudl where he showed good stop and go with acceleration.
-
Wonder if he is distantly related to James Terry LB from the Heacock era. He played HS ball in Virginia too.
-
A couple things strike me here. 1. it is pretty easy to find the right guy on huddle with names like Tiquest Terry.
2. This kid is a "football player," not just some quick WR. He hits as a DB! This looks like a great pick-up
3. the only reason this guy is 1AA and not 1A is because of the 5-9 As noted by ucfpengbuck his start-stop is going to be fun to watch.
4. Wonder who is going to throw to him?

Point #4 .... Let's hope it will not be Mays.... Otherwise, this kid's might have to block down field when Mays took off running as he could not find an open receiver (including him).

Somebody on here was talking about watching a game from last year and hopping the guys stepped up this season. I just watched a DVR'd game that Mays stepped in to replace Hunter from 2017 and he went 17 run plays in a row, (at least 6 plays were called passes) It was terrible. This team isn't going anywhere so either you like Waid or Cunningham or whomever and let's get started on the future.

I was going to ask that same question a few days ago but didn't because I couldn't remember his first name--I'm pretty sure he was a linebacker and was also a very good one!

Andre Stubbs type ?
-
Jayden Patterson has transferred in from Western Kentucky. A 6-0 corner who redshirted as a freshman last year.

WKU is FBS so this he is eligible they season, correct? I can't name one team, at any level of football, that has too many corners.

Correct.

FYI, Jayden Patterson info:
OFFERS: The Citadel, Georgia Southern, Western Kentucky, Army, Elon & Ball State
(Army and The Citadel are good signs because they don't offer dummy's, head cases or discipline issues)
HIGH SCHOOL SCOUTING REPORT:
Patterson has good size at CB and has the frame to continue to fillout and approach the 200-pound area. He does a really good job of playing the pass and has great natural timing playing over top. The 2018 recruit has decent agility and very good technique with his backpedal. It’s obvious the cornerback has been well schooled over the last few years and this offseason he took work hard and gained an additional 10-15 pounds. One area we really like is his ability to get his head around and locate the ball mid-flight. So many young CB’s have a problem with that and Patterson consistently shows just that one film.
-
Why is he transferring?
-
Why is he transferring?
I have absolutely no idea, but the usual reasons are grades, discipline issues, coaching issues, playing time issues.
-
I would not get too excited. Patterson was ranked 266th overall in the state of GA (coming out of HS) and didn’t appear in a single game last season with the Hilltoppers. The coaches said that while it is always sad to see a player go ... WKU’s secondary is deep talented up-and-comers, most of which figure to play significantly more than Patterson would have.
So he may not have any issues. Let's just look at him as a solid recruit at our level.

Zaire Jones, a 6-1, 190 pound Safety transfer from Vanderbilt has come in. 2 years of eligibility left. Was suspended twice while at Vandy. Talented kid but obviously some baggage. Should be an instant starter.

Kid can play, but assault on a police officer is nothing to sneeze at! Yes it was downgraded, but not a good start.
UPDATE: Vanderbilt safety Zaire Jones’ assault charge was downgraded to a misdemeanor reckless endangerment on Sept. 10, ending his suspension at two games.
-
From what I heard he was driving around a blockade of some sort maybe construction and hit an off duty police officers knee on accident. Not a huge issue. Nice addition to the program.
-
Here is the article after he got the second suspension https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.tennessean.com/amp/1905306002

Instant starter here too.
-
Wow! You know who he looks like to me as far as his build?
Someone guess to at least make this interesting. I will give you a clue.
Kent State at home.
