The cornerback I was seeking :blush:

I hope he put a waiver to play.

Btw, his coach left Troy so there is a good chance he pla this season. Kid is legit!

Welcome Mr Jones!!!

He is applying for a waiver according to Fox Sports. So coaching changes get you a waiver these days?

Yes… Crazy right lol

Williams and Jones at CB would be great.

I’ve been thinking this is the way to use transfers with the portal…find all-conference type players from the smaller conferences or schools. Instead of always taking guys that don’t like their spot on the depth chart somewhere else.

Dang

Elandon Roberts and that stud kid CB from Temple last season come to mind.

12

If Jones and Small start we would have very small cbs.

13

Not totally unusual.

14

This kid looks really shifty.

15

Is it strange or just me thinking that it was weird that these 2 reports of transfers have been broke by Aaron Wilson who is one of the NFL guys at the Chronicle?

16

We may have an all transfer secondary next season.

I noticed that too.

He does look VERY small. Very speedy though.

Those are both our slot/nickel cb’s. In today’s football, lots of slant passes and bubble screens are ran and this helps negate that.

I think it’s more about having a kick returner. Will add some much needed depth at corner though.
