Kid has no real meaningful college stats. He looks the part of a LB and I personally give a lot of points for being an Ivy grad. Kind of a reach here though, no?

Maybe… He’s a Grad Transfer w/ one year eligibility remaining and had more tackles in 2022 than any returning LB not named Mitchell. Always need depth. Not a lot of risk in my mind.

He also had a ST analyst tagged in his tweet

He had stats in 2022:

10 games. 44 tackles. 2 TFL. 0.5 sacks.

There is another twist to the transfer portal. I think the current rule states that if you pick up a kid in the portal, you are committing to him until he gets a degree or uses up his eligibility. Thus, grabbing a kid who has a degree and one year of eligibility is an easy grab.

They have it on 247 as well. BTW, WHAT AN ABSOLUTE JOKE THEIR RAN KINGS ARE! UMass is ranked 108 with 6 signees and 2 transfers. They only have us with 11 signees and no transfers, but are Top 2 are better then anyone they signed. But due to their incompetence they don't bother listing our other 4 commits and transfer, let alone ranking half our recruits. Rivals and On3 have no problem doing it. For comparison On3 has us at 96 and UMass at 121.

Gilyard signing makes Harvard offer feel more like a PWO?

Lost 5 LBs to graduation this year: Bembry, Bouyer-Randle, Bryant, Swenson, and Webb. I would think they are looking to bring in 2 or 3 more transfers.

No argument, but since we have underecruited the position and we do have a short term need, I’d prefer we not use a full scholly on this position on anything less than P5 talent. We will see plenty of adds after bowl season and more after spring.

I believe Webb has 2 years of eligibility remaining.

Might be a good basher who can compliment Jackson Mitchell!

He was honored at Senior Day. Have to assume he will likely move on.

Looks like Coach Pehrson posted for four commitments after last weekend, so waiting on two more announcements

Teddy Williams (12/13)
Zakhari Spears (12/14)
Eriq Gilyard (12/16)

Do they do the commitment posts for PWO commits?

I believe Webb has 2 years of eligibility remaining.

I think they honored him senior day . That usually means that is the end of their career.
