I dunno if I'm excited about backdating a scholarship for a JUCO.  I guess we'll see what he contributes.

[97and03]

I honestly don’t understand this signing. 

[EagleMBA]

If Yellock and Reffett think he will contribute, that is plenty good for me. Bring him on!!

“They realized late that they needed another defensive end. They reached out to my coaches and were wondering if I was still available."

If he's enrolling and will be in Denton for the 2019 season how are they backdating a scholarship two years. I thought Blueshirts only worked towards the next year's class

Surely Brett's thinking is off a year with his references to 2021.  Has to be class of 2020.

Also, unless I missed something, I believe that should read "South Africa native."

2020, good catch

Put on 20-25lbs and you got little more beef on the D line. He definitely has a motor with a little quickness.

What are the odds of having 2 Asher’s on one football team? 

[jdennis82]

Hard to judge based on a highlight package against JUCO competition, but here's his hudl page...

Like his motor and technique/form.  I'll trust our coaches' evaluation and ability to get him ready for the increase in competition level.

Always appreciate young men willing to come represent our university on the field...welcome aboard, Mr. Frow.

247sports has him listed as part of the class of 2019.

Historical Trivia Question:

Once upon a time we had a very good juco tight end from California.  Played in 1997-1998 in the Big West days.  5th all time in career sacks and had 13 in 1997 tying him for #2 in all time single season record with Roderick Manning (1989).

Question -

How do the coaches have so many 2019 scholarships available that are being awarded in the spring?

Did the 2019 class lose players?

this guy is a blueshirt for 2019 so he will count towards 2020 scholarship class
