That'd be great if he were!

Looking up some background info on him; rivals (2 star) and 247 (3 star) both had him listed as an athlete coming out of HS. 247 had him as the #72 athlete in the country and the #13 player in Illinois where he was the Gatorade state player of the year. Rushed for over 2,000 yards and 38 TDs as a senior. Had offers from Iowa, Army, Ball State, CMU, Colorado State, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa State, Minnesota, NIU, Syracuse, WMU and Tulane. So would have been a huge recruit for us if he had come right out of high school.

Played running back at Iowa, redshirted his freshmen year and then did not see any game action last year. So it seems like whenever he is eligible he'll have three years.

Real good get for us. Great news seeing how Branham left. He joins a good group with Karmi, Willie, Boone, DJ and Josh. Is he eligible to play this season for 2020?

I haven't gone thru highlights, etc. but I believe he was recruited as a QB.

If this is correct, I can see another EMU player who can throw the gadget play pass.

Normally those who do are not really QB-caliber throwers, but this one presumably is.
