Yeah. #1 JUCO DT in the country. Obviously based on potential. Maybe he was injured or something.
He's perfectly positioned now to become the lineman version of Mario.
Carolina may be becoming the stepping stone program for lower division players to move into P5.
Oh, we became that when we took that QB and that tall receiver (teammates) from up north out of Div. 2 a few years back after Beamer came. They both started some.
IF this kid gets good coaching, he has the potential to do a lot of damage. I like the pick-up.
I was curious where those to were in 2023, and looked it up
The QB Jason Brown, went to Virginia Tech, did not win the starting job, and then still had another year left and played at Jackson State this year and threw 1399 yards, 8 TDs and 3 Ints.
The tall WR EJ Jenkins went to Georgia Tech had 316 yards and 3 tds in 2022, and then made the Eagles Practice squad this year but got cut about a month ago.
I appreciate the specific information. I couldn't remember the school they transferred from, but it was decidedly minor in terms of football. Evidently Brown was deposited back to his proper level of competence.
Jason Brown will always be a hero for what he did to UF. Of all the improbable outcomes, that one was one of the most.
It's still crazy to me that we had Doty, Brown, and Noland as our QBs. How Beamer eked out 7 wins from that team is amazing. The 7th win coming with a QB that hadn't taken a snap in 2 years.
He eked out seven wins by beating seven middling to worse-than-middling opponents, including Florida, Auburn, and UNC, all of which finished with losing records. Every team with a pulse beat us, and Beamer coached a terrible game against Kentucky, which would have been a decent team to beat since they finished 10-3.
Went from 2 wins to 7, with Doty, Zeb, and Brown and one returning WR (Vann) that hadn't done anything to that point in his career. Downplay it all you want, but that was a huge achievement.
I agree the magnitude of the outcome was surprising, but UF's game the very following week threw a bit of a wet blanket on our game. Playing at home, they allowed more yards and points to FCS Samford than they did to us at WB.
I do agree it was quite something to scratch out 7 wins without having a QB, but I also agree with King that we didn't beat a good team that year. However, the bowl game capped the season off in fantastic fashion as nobody saw us clobbering UNC like that.
We were not a good team. We were a 2 win team with a gutted roster. My goodness some of ya'll need to get laid or something!!
But it's where we were. Most people expected us to win 4 games. I believe the over/under was 4.5.

To be fair, as with every time the two win season is brought up, that season had no ooc patsies.
Looking at how p!$$-poor they actually turned out to be, almost any halfway motivated .500 Power Five team should have beaten them by multiple scores on a neutral field.
Ok fine. We won 4 in 2019, including getting drug up and down the field by App St. Fresh off of getting hammered by 4 TDs by a bad UVA team in the bowl game. We were on a serious decline that Beamer reversed.
I know. Be careful though. You might get accused of something. smhThat's a big "IF".
