HOLY CRAP

[PlainsUte]

Don’t get the part about going home from Stanford, dropped out?

RB or LB at Utah?

[gUrthBrooks]

I don’t know, but didn’t Stanford not want him to play LB while at Brighton to prevent injury?

[Staples]

I had the same thought about his position. 6’2″ 230 lbs., sounds like a perfect linebacker to me. Especially with our apparent depth at the running back position.

[gUrthBrooks]

6’2″??? get out the tape. Although shorter with 230 lbs would be even better.

 

[UteFanatic]

HUGE get.

[darklightning]

I assume he’ll sit out a year? Also how many years of eligibility does he have left?

I assume he’ll sit out a year?

Yes

[GameForAnyFuss]

Deserted News reporting he’ll join the team in January. If he sits out a year, does that mean he’ll do nothing but practice for 1.5 years before he can play?

[RiseasUtes]

Just like any other redshirt or transfer.

[GameForAnyFuss]

Some people out there saying he can play next year because he never saw the field for Stanford. Can anyone confirm or deny this? Sorry, I don’t follow the NCAA rulebook as closely as I should.

[FtheY]

Fuss – is that a hint at putting weight on and making him a D end? 

[NarfUte]

Guarantee he’ll play LB. Probably be damn good too

[TexanUte]

Coaches can jump from school to school for 6 or 7 million with no repercussions but a player moves for his own benefit he must sit out a year so we can keep the “integrity” of this multi billion dollar/year “amateur” sport.
