So, Malzahn offered the 6'0" 225 pound running back team mate of Carl Lawson. Ole Miss commit who it says flew under the radar because of a bad ankle injury that cost him his junior season.
Does he play linebacker too?
No but we aren't out of it for RB Derrick Green from Richmond, VA yet so anything's possible. Lots of posturing, back-up insurance and package deals in the works. Gus's crew might be behind but I don't think they'll be outworked.
I'm as concerned about the loss of ILB Trey Johnson as anyone else...along with the prospects of Foster not coming back. There are D-linemen still out there (like Bradley and Johnson) just not as highly touted as Liner, Adams, Lawson etc. but not so much for the kind of LB help we need immediately. You noted Zack Cunningham 6-4 195 in a prior post and Prowler mentioned the JUCO OLB Longino (run support and sideline pursuit) As I told Prowler, I never saw him defend a pass in film but saw him piledrive defenders as a RB at Shaw HS in highlights.
We still have thirteen on board per the major sites and I'm still patiently optimistic.
I'm all for JUCO help. Get us a half dozen, whatever it takes to plug the holes.
