Says he’s 6’ and 260 playing d-line but looks much smaller. Maybe it was the picture of him in a #1 jersey but I assumed he was a DB and then read the recruiting profile saying he’s a DT. He also ran track in HS, not weight events, but running so he must have quite a motor. Hoping for a poor mans Rosie Nix.

Another article on Huntington. He really does remind you of Rosie. https://www.cbssports.com/college-footba...e-lineman/

The kid committed in March but lately he’s been tweeting out offers he’s been getting including FCS offers so I wonder if he’s soured on Flashfast.

“Blessed to say that I’ve received my 7th offer from the James Madison University!!! @CoachShanahan_ @Coach_Smitty“

And he de-committed today. Good riddance, I trust coach Lewis will fill it wisely.

Or perhaps ... Kent coaches told him if he found something else he liked, take it. Judging from his list.

Meet the new 6'3" wideout:

Great to see 6’3” wideouts now, and this one was a state champ high jumper.

Picked up an o-line verbal today.

Him plus the big OL from St.V-St.M? This is recruiting we really need and have needed for years.

Nice quality addition, especially considering the interest he was getting.

Another addition. DB with offers from crAkron, Charlotte and several FCS schools. https://247sports.com/player/marquail-coaxum-46097613/

Nice bowl win should help close this class out strong and help with next years class. This is a small senior class so the recruiting class should be ~17-19 total, unless there transfers out or injury forces them to retire from playing. Antwan Dixon is returning for next year and on the current roster, Joell Shaw isn’t listed as he was kicked off the team in late October.

Is Dixon returning? I've been wondering about that.

Dixon is indeed returning. He said it in an on field interview with a reporter immediately following the game.

That's great to hear. They mentioned a couple times it was his last college game and I didn't understand why.

2020 Football Coaching Changes:

All I have seen is a grad assistant leaving to become a high school coach and no official word, but it looks like the RB coach may be gone as well.

Saw an ad on Indeed for a RB coach at Kent State.

Looks like Knight is transferring. He'll be playing for his third team in three years.

Kevon Angry, CB from Georgia, has withdrawn his commitment. Some movement is to be expected as we head toward signing day.

I’ve been watching the football Twitter feed, and 30 high school players must hav tweeted they had received an offer from KSU.

They can’t have more than 10 or 12 scholarships left.

So what do they do if more accept than they have spots for?
