Not that anything is expected in this annual
free agent portal era, but does he have two or three years of eligibility? Toledo listed him as a RS Sophomore but his bio says that he only played in 3 games in 2024 at West Virginia, retaining his freshman eligibility.

I was watching UConn MBB and typing @ same time… my typo, he was behind the line and it was a three.

Getting some LB's with great size for the position. Dude looks like a FB player!

Good catch @huskymedic, I like how JC is getting a nice mix of youth and experience and not all 1 and done players in the portal which is what our defense had essentially become.

Run, Ricky, run. Best of luck to the young man.

In this era of anything goes, I thought it was the old Texas Longhorn/Saints/Miami Dolphins running back returning to college at the age of 48.

That was one of the best 30 for 30s.

Also, another RB one was The Best that Never Was.

Those were both good 30s for 30s. I just saw the one “Two Bills” with Parcels and Belichick. Not great but it was interesting to me exploring their long history.
