I'd love to see Kanye return, but wouldn't be at all surprised if he doesn't.
The dude has been through a LOT during his time on the mountain.

Other than some DL help, weren’t we still looking for a punter? Or did that get squared away?
We won’t need a punter next season

He’s going to have the most rested leg in college football next season

RS 2023. No game action 2024. 4 tackles in 2025 at FCS level. Is this a project? Depth play? Practice squad? Is there more to the story of this player?

Maybe I am too ambitious. I had hoped, if we are dipping into the FCS level, that the player has some valuable playing time

I’ve found that stats for FCS players often only include games against FBS competition. Not saying that’s what happened here, but have had trouble finding stats on some of these guys

lol, so he had 14 tackles in 2025, but 3 were for a loss. So 1 out of 5 tackles is for a loss. If he just had more tackles, he’d be a national all star

Can we pay the FCS studs? Doesn’t look like we can or else we’d have landed some.
I fear they are even out of our price range.

We purportedly doubled our NIL budget from last year, I think we can pay FCS kids for G6 prices. We can't compete with P4 amounts but we should be competitive with G6 programs.

My observation was not that we are getting the best of the FCS. I thought we would be able to get players with decent stats at FCS level. However, the stats on this kid seems low or non-existent. I was just curious if more to the story on the player than their stats.

Stats don't always tell the whole story though. If he's a NT, his job in most defensive schemes isn't t going to be to rack up stats,
