Probably about Faulk's size at this point in his career.

Sure, but Marshall is 52 years old

What's the news that prompted a profile other than he's entered the portal?

Big want. Similar style but more proven production and a bigger frame than Dylan Edwards. I knew about Ott, but I didn’t know about this guy until he started getting linked to us. It turns out Cal had an elite backfield last year. Sure, he’s small, but in modern backfields where guys split carries and have different skill sets that’s not much of a concern anymore imo. He’d be our Jahmyr Gibbs. Obviously, not actually that level but he’d play that type of role for us and be damn good at it.

YPC was fantastic every game last year. It's always crazy to me how a guy like him is missed by almost everyone as a prep.

 

[Corey Trevorson]

Graded out well and productive - want

Crazy that Ott was the man two years ago and then this guy seemingly overtook him last year. Did Ott have injury issues?

Ott was hurt with nagging stuff all year and stepped back in production. Thomas and a power back would be nice.

 

[TemperTemperBuffs]

Thomas is not a want, but a NEED.

Credits transfer more easily within the University of California system.

Thanks for the reminder. I have to remember this is all about the student athlete.
