DeAundre Torrey signed by TRI Sports Agency

[Coach Andy Mac]

Quote

Garnering comparisons to Darren Sproles and Boston Scott, DeAndre Torry is one of the most explosive running backs in this year’s draft class. Torrey rushed for over 3,000 career yards while at North Texas, a rare club to be in. Torrey is elusive and fast, with the ability to make explosive plays and capitalize on big opportunities any time the ball is in his hands.

“This shows the growth of TRI Sport Agency and how we are looking to get high character players who are playmakers on-and-off the field,” said Ruiz. “We’re proud of the newest wave of TRI Sport Agency athletes.”

TRI Sport Agency is a full-service sports marketing and management agency firm based in the Sacramento, California area. Their sole focus is working with the highest level football players possible and putting them in the best situations to succeed.

I don't understand the Darren Sproles comparison, except that they both catch passes out of the backfield.  After that, the likeness isn't much.

I wonder if these are the geniuses that thought it was in Torry's best interest to skip the bowl game.

DeAndre Torrey can also turn on a dime.  
His “zig-zag-stop” & then run for a TD against UTSA is a classic.

I still maintain his absence in the Bowl cost NT the game.....IMO

I don’t begrudge Torrey about the bowl game. The guy played on one leg all season.

It is spelled DeAndre.

It was absolutely in his best interest to skip the bowl game. He was hurt almost all year.  The extra rest will help him on tryouts and NFL camps. I don't blame him at all for the chance to get to an NFL team. It is a chance, both career wise and monetarily, of a lifetime.

He carried us on one leg the entire season. If we lost the game because one player decided to make a decision in their best interest, then we deserved to lose the game.

Yes, there is a fairly remote chance that he may have been injured.   There was a better chance that he may have had a good to great game and earned a few more dollars in that pro contract.

No doubt it was his decision to make.    The extra rest from skipping one game, not even a factor unless he stopped working out at all after the regular season game, which does not seem to be good strategy.    

No one is going to question Torrey's work effort or dedication.    

I just believe that players' agents drive these decisions, and based not only on the chance of injury, but also the chance their client may have a bad game before contract negotiation is a big factor.
