This would be an absolute Home Run in my opinion. Speaking of Home Runs, I am curious if Jackson and Gill ever worked out the two sport athlete thing ? Caleb plays baseball, and it could really benefit us if we allowed these guys to do both. My understanding is Tillman was not talented enough to play in an already crowded outfield. I would not be surprised if Jackson just shut down the idea of football guys on the baseball team all together. He seems to be a purist.
It seems like Caleb is a special athlete. If he can play both it would be easier for him playing at the QB position and playing baseball to do it but Spring Practice is a must for the QB position. Tillmon is more than talented enough to play baseball and he decided to concentrate on Football this spring and not play baseball this past season and participate in Spring Practice with a chance to start at Safety. Right now that is where he is on depth chart going into fall camp. Coach Jackson wanted him out there this year. He has already told Coach Jackson he would like to play this coming spring. I guess we will see what kind of player he is in baseball if he does play next year.
Sorry for the fake news on the reason Tillmon is not play baseball. It was mentioned several times on the board that it was because Jackson did not feel he had a need for another outfielder. I am glad to hear that is not the case, that it indeed was Brandon's decision. Also to be clear, I am not sure Caleb is interested in playing both sports at the college level.

Based on the past few weeks. I get the feeling we will get news on at least one of these guys visiting this week.

I think lynum visit is later in the week. Could be wrong. Kyles tweet didnt make a lot of sense yesterday though unless lynum was here.

Yost is a nice pickup. Godfrey, jt wood and lynum are 3 that i think are all annoucing soon and we could use all 3.

The initial rounds of offers are over. Teams will try to make offers to fill remaining needs after camp season (july). We got a bit of a late start since we just found out were fbs so were running about a month behind. The next 2 weeks are huge. We need to reel in as many as we can before some of the p5 schools circle back around to reset their boards and remaining needs.

Godfrey and Lynum are the guys I have been most interested in landing. If we can get these two guys in such important skill positions, it would be humongous.

I just want depth. The kind of FBS depth that lets us suffer an injury in the 3Q and next man up actually works and win a ball game. That has been the difference in most of our losses against FBS schools.

Both are true. We have added depth so far. We also need to get some play makers that can score and be individually great and create pressure and turnovers. Lynum and Godfrey are are game breaking type players we will need at fbs level.

When Caleb Lynum takes the field for his high school football season opener in August, he won’t be wearing a First Academy of Leesburg uniform.

However, where Lynum will eventually spend his senior year is a bit of a mystery since the player has not yet announced where he will transfer.

First Academy coach Sheldon Walker confirmed on Monday that Lynum has left First Academy and said his program has begun the process of moving on. Walker said he received a text recently from Lynum’s family informing him of the decision.

“I do not know why he’s leaving,” Walker said. “I just know that Caleb will not be enrolled at First Academy of Leesburg for his senior year. He’s done a lot for our program over the past two years and we wish him well.”

Bump...dailey visited today. Indiana and ball state have been pushing hard. Manson your tweet said he visited ball state recently?

To me hes the best of the qbs weve offered that we had a shot at by far. I dont see a great next option though sarrat is decent. Big drop off to brandon robinson the most recent offer.

His twitter is private. Manson or sly?? Still looks like we have a shot? Did we ever confirm that he did visit us?
