Hope these guys turn out to be good adds. Having lost Yurk(?), we need a good punter.
Go, Phoenix!

Am I seeing right that there’s a grad transfer QB added as well?

It's difficult to judge his record (GA, TCU, LaTech), but he doesn't appear to be of the caliber of Matt McKay. Maybe he can help us, but I'm hoping we'll have a QB who is not new to Elon and, perhaps, will spend a career with the Phoenix.
Go, Phoenix!

It seems like a pretty nice get. He appears to be coming off of a torn ACL that occurred early last year, but was the opening day starter. He had obviously had stiff competition at UGA and TCU behind some elite QBs. Will be interesting to see him compete here.

McKay was solid, but let’s not get too crazy. If the incoming kid is a gun-slinger and can blow the top off of a defense, to go along with what should be a lethal run game, personally that’s all I believe should matter. Folmer HAS to maximize that QB room for this team to have a chance this season. Lankford and Allen have to earn it and the biggest need is WR’s because we lost a lot of experience there. This is the new normal for FCS Football. The portal gives and takes away. We are going to recruit QB’s but if there are solid options in the portal that are interested, then create competition and let the best man win. Going to be an interesting Fall. |
