[meanJewGreen]

Kason had a happy thanksgiving. His season ended and he tossed the pigskin around with his family, ate some turkey, and really looked forward to his break.

he’s looking forward to providing you all with more updates next season

[jtm0097]

Here is the latest update. He's having a Merry Christmas and he entered the portal after his Head Coach resigned.

 

[El Paso Eagle]

They got rid of their coach.

Anyone go tag Eric Morris in Kason’s tweet yet? 😂

I also would not want to play in eastern New Mexico

I'm just sayin...bring my boy back.

Does he have any interest in filling the big shoes of Scrappy?   He’d be an awesome Scrappy.  Tons of energy.  Great dance moves.  Filled with enthusiasm.

Great locker room guy, has probably matured past the dramatic eye black and goofy nUTSAck style sideline jump arounds.  Wish him all the best truly.  Some weirdly obsessed on this board gave him way too much credit for a  blow out loss bowl game he made a few throws in and that’s not his fault.

Nothing happens, maybe a GA?

Look here, the only thing I ever said was, for 2020 and 2021, when we were having QB disasters, why not give him some drives and see how he does? He never got a fair chance here.

By that logic Cade Pearson and Amani Gilmore never got a fair chance here.

Not sure how that logic tracks when Kason was solidly 3rd string both 2020 and 2021 behind two QBs that were alternating starts.

Why not follow your coach there?

[Ibleedgreen]

I agree with peanuts 104. He never got a fair shake. He was very impressive in the state HS final, and should have been given a chance.

What does that say about him when for 2 years in a row they were struggling to find a consistent starter and still chose not to go to him? He played in the state title game and still his only offer outside of ours was D2 TAMU-Commerce. Kason was a fantastic teammate, a fantastic hype man, and a fantastic person. He has excellent touch and accuracy on his deep ball but he does not, and I cannot stress this enough, does NOT have FBS level velocity. Wish all you want but there was good reason he didn’t get his “fair chance” here and that same reason is why he was in Portales, New Mexico this season and not in a town with a FBS or even FCS program.

I have never been to Southern Utah, but I like alcohol and caffeine.

Unless we watched the quarterback battle in practice, not sure we can say Kason didn’t get a fair shake.  I’ll bet he had every chance to prove himself in practice to be considered for more game time exposure.  I’m not sure what the coaching staff would have to gain by unfairly keeping from a shot at more playing time.  
 

While Kason didn’t get the game time that other quarterbacks received, I think it’s unfair to say it was unfair.  

[jtm0097]

He's having a Happy New Year. It looks like he is finishing his career at Tiffin University (D2 school in Ohio).

 

[greenminer]

Have fun in that new climate Kason.

Excellent, best of luck Kason.

[Marty]

Good luck Kason. I've never heard of that school.
