Word is that he is transferring back to his previous juco and changing positions to play LB.  strange development.

 

[Mavric]

Quite the career path.

California (2016, redshirt) -> Riverside College (2017, QB) -> Minnesota (Spring 2018, QB) -> Riverside College (2018, LB)

4 schools in 3 years. I get the wanting to be a QB thing, but do you think he could last a year here if he isn’t a starter?

Offered as a OLB and he is open to giving up QB at this point in his career. Chinander heading this one up and must like his defensive potential after playing qb for 3 years.. I’d imagine he’ll enjoy delivering hits vs receiving them

We also offered his teammate who is a DE

The kid must have picked up the LB position pretty quickly to get our offer.

He always played both.  A lot of schools were recruiting him as an LB out of high school but he wanted to play QB.  I believe he finally switched to LB this fall.

Similar-ish to Matthew Tago? Juco version?

 

[StPaulHusker]

Wasn't Riley recruiting him as a LB out of HS?  

 

[Minnesota_husker]

ZERO interest. He left Minnesota because he was homesick and was mad he had to compete for the job.

I hate to bash a kid, so lets just say the above has been widely discussed on Minnesota stations. 

I just think he should stay close to family and his bubble.

Or was he mad that he was a JUCO transfer who ended up 3rd string behind two freshmen and would have little to no chance of playing during the duration of his career. Similar to practically every QB transfer in the nation including those that transferred from NU. One of which who we will be facing this saturday.

Plus I think St. Paul said Riley may have recruited him. Which means he wont pan out if Riley wanted him.

He was HORRIBLE for them in practice. Like, every report I heard was he looked like a linebacker trying to play QB.

Part of that was blamed on him being homesick and not wanting to be there. That wont get any better in Lincoln compared to Minneapolis.

For us he would look like a LB trying to play LB so that is a positive. Also I would want to go home if I had to listen to PJ Fleck everyday of the week.
