Played in ten, started five. Feel better if the five starts were later in the season (growth) rather than early (regression).

Faalale territory if accurate.

Local 4 star, Davon Townley entered the portal from Penn State at the end of the 2022 season, but must have stayed at Penn State (or have taken a sabbatical). He recently entered the 2024 portal, again from Penn State. Looks like his presumed high-upside must not have reached fruition. Hope he...

Was on UTEP roster as 6'6" 355. Lots of flexibility in these numbers!

The plan has to be play him at RT, where he started last year at UTEP, and let Carroll move inside. Nkele has two years of eligibility left; he probably didn't come here to be a back-up. He has the size and some game experience. If he can do the job at a level Purcell, DeMister and Lawrence...

If he's a legitimate deep ball threat, which it sounds as though he is, his presence will help our other receivers find daylight ... and will help the running game by keeping the safeties honest. Even if he doesn't make 50 catches.

So … what did he say? 😊

Impressive background for a back up QB. I think PJ is on a roll … https://247sports.com/college/virginia-tech/article/virginia-tech-hokies-qb-dylan-wittke-enters-the-ncaa-transfer-portal-230594021/

I think they need competition and they need to build depth for the coming years. PJ is on it.

Guys who are great athletes but need some development are learning, more quickly now, that helmet schools don’t do development. They just reload. Come to Minnesota to develop!

Great transfer class so far. Only guy I can’t figure out is Jai’Onte McMillan. Low rated out of HS; low rated as a transfer. PJ obviously saw something. Hope we get to see it.

Deacon could run or lead block in the wildcat. 6’3” 260 is a big QB.

I don’t think Deacon Hill would come here to be a back-up to Brosmer and then to Lindsay. But he has a wealth of experience (save the snickers!) and is a great teammate. And might be a wildcat threat. And knows the Wisconsin and Iowa playbooks!

Another Deacon Hill tweet.

Actually, a lot of respect for Deacon Hill among Iowa fans. He is considered to be a great teammate. And he does have strengths. Got crushed by Iowa’s offensive dysfunction.
