I have misgivings about this, if true. Nothing against the young man. Not his fault that the Buff roster goes from Sr to RSFr at QB.
However, juco's have been very hit-or-miss in recent years, both in getting into school and getting on the field.
I hope it works out better this time.
Didn't it say somewhere that he was a full qualifier (left Middle Tenn St) and anyway has graduated? Getting in shouldn't be a problem, right?
You would think he wouldn't have issues getting admitted. But we are talking juco and CU admissions office, so.......
Well he'll add a little depth to the position. Not really impressed with his credentials / offer sheet. Middle Tennessee State?
In all fairness I believe MTSU has made more bowl games then we have over the past few years. I hear what your saying though. You never know, he may have been asked to grayshirt at some solid schools.
Anybody have any insight into why he left MTSU? Seems like when he was on the field there he performed, but wasn't on the field all that much.
I googled and all I could find was the following, from the MTSU athletic site:
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. - Middle Tennessee Head Coach Rick Stockstill announced today that redshirt freshman quarterback Brent Burnette has quit the team and will not return for the 2010 season. Burnette, who informed Stockstill of his decision on Friday afternoon, will transfer at the end of the semester.
Burnette, who redshirted in 2008, played in eight games last season and completed 13 of 25 passes for 160 yards and two touchdowns. In the New Orleans Bowl victory over Southern Miss, Burnette came in and completed 2 of 3 passes for 45 yards and a touchdown.
He's 6-3, how the hell is he supposed to drill the o-line in the back of the head with the ball?
