Does Zack go after a TE out of the portal?

There are 2 in the portal from Georgia that are probly pretty good plus one from Utah that Bump might can influence. And it might be a good idea to flip Ty to RB. Linebackers we got plenty of imo

Ty is a future star at LB. We’ll be completely fine at RB. No need to move a potential all conference player to RB as a freshman to be 5th string.

I doubt he would be 5th string very long. We need more running backs for sure. We currently have a junior college guy and two known good backs. One of the known good backs is hurt at least twice a game as we used them last year.

I love when fans think it’s so easy for a linebacker to be RB or a RB to be linebacker or a big athletic qb to be wide receiver or TE.

so much knowledge.

Do you have any idea who I'm talking about ? He is a great RB. Also a great LB. There were questions where we would play him when he gets here.

Well one thing we can sell them is playing time. Come to Mississippi State and you can start. You'll literally be the only tight end on the roster.

Have to get a bunch of tight ends. Need to get qb too. I would look at a few bigger backs in portal. Woody is tough. Pittman is good. But never hurt to get a premier back that can run between tackles a lot

I love watching a great TE dominate a game. A thing of beauty I've missed out on way too much as a STATE Fan. The problem though is they are such a rare commodity combining OL blocking skills with good receiver hands.

His name is Ty Jones. If you look at hishigh school production he was outstanding playing both positions. Do you not follow football or are you just trying to be an a**hole ?

I could go on for days.

you have no idea what position they should play or how good their college career will be.

if Ty Jones doesn’t succeed at RB, you’ll say he should have been a LB.
If he doesn’t succeed at LB, you’ll say he should have been a RB.
or most likely if he doesn’t succeed at all you’ll never mention him again.

That’s not true. Dak Prescott has not succeeded at being an NFL TE but we talk about him all of the time.

Sounding like there’s a chance he may need to find a starting-level qb to come with him

Yeah. Its starting to look like a couple TE and another RB might not be our most pressing problem. We might need several new pieces. Apparently these guys were not impressed with Barbay Q

Oh well.hundreds of players have entered the portal and gone nowhere or transferred and not started or transferred the next year. New age of football apparently. Zach's jobs to get in portal and find replacements.
