Rotational guy. Louisville actually has some good backers so he’ll probably be a positive.

May be a good pickup. But pretty much a let down after this weekend.

 

[DMoney]

I haven’t asked about the rationale here, but my guess is that Derek Nicholson wanted some more veteran depth and he went with a familiar face.

Has he been in the portal a while? He’s a Junior so I guess so. Don’t know much about him but Mario, Nicholson, Addae, Hippolite, Guidry and whoever else sure have flipped the CB and LB rooms.

Idk why y’all are complaining?

This kid is someone who helps with depth and not allowing the Ragones (nothing against the kid just saying seeing walk ons in general) of the world to see meaningful snaps if we see any type of injuries

Depth and Special teams. These are guys you need on the back end of the roster. No more feel good/smart Ryan Ragone instances.

Don’t read into it. He’s not starting, he is likely barely playing but he is also better for practices as he isn’t a completely pushover

 

[mlw352]

He’s better then corey flagg

Huge upgrade over Flagg

Does this mean anything re: Chase Smith's availability?
