He’s definitely going to help us. Two veteran DL in the last 24 hours. Let’s get a few more…

You think the guy from Dayton is a walk on considering he wasn’t announced in the same way as other commits? Believe we also have a few JUCO guys committed that aren’t yet on the roster as well.

He may be a walk-on, but it’s also possible they just haven’t released his official commitment post yet. If he is a walk-on, he’ll probably be one of the better ones we’ve picked up.

 

I think we’ve added three DTs so far, including the two JUCOs. We still need at least one or two more. All things considered, I like what the new DL coach has done so far with the resources we have.

Looks like we signed our #2 QB/Bullock replacement. Guy has been around since 2019!

 

Definitely a run first QB. Rushed for 140 yards and 7 TDs in 2023, while attempting only one pass that season.

At least we know Joe's system now and can have realistic expectations for Michael Johnson Jr. When Bullock committed and played, we were so confused and ultimately disappointed in year 1 with his throwing ability, not realizing he was brought in to be an under-center running back.

Just a reminder that Post #1 in this thread is up to date with all of this year's new commits.

35 commits in total

17 on offense (2 QB's)

17 on defense (8 DL)

1 specialist

 

JoeMo's a beast. The workload for a mid-major HC in this new portal era blows my mind. So let's get to a bowl 💪😤💪

Watch that YouTube video at your own risk. The "reporter" extends what should be a 1 minute and 30 second story into a 30 minute diatribe. 

 

Funny to see former Zip Zach Gibson trying to catch on with the Orange. Akron to Georgia Tech to Georgia State to Syracuse?

....and mediocre at best at every stop.

This is about as excited as I can get over a back up QB. He was a really impressive player out of HS. He will be a big improvement over Bullock. Strong, athletic kid.

 

His dad is probably the most accomplished UA football player ever, if you look at the breadth of his overall football career. He played in the USFL and has coached high level positions at P5 and NFL staffs. His name usually pops up whenever the Zips decide they need a new HC (about every 3 years)

 

He came to the Zips from Arizona State while I was at UA. He used to wear a burgundy corduroy jacket around campus that was swag from being on Arizona State's Rose Bowl team. Great player.

 

To be eligible to play for the Zips in the fall I recall Mike Sr. had to take something insane like 24 credit hours over the summer, and he did it.
