Hopefully we're able to add some D linemen and a LB, or two in the Spring portal window to go with the DBs

So true.  Like everyone else, I'm waiting for some D Linemen announcements too.

I remember this guy back several years ago was a Penn State commit, and he was one of the best commits in their class.  Then he ran into some serious legal trouble so Penn State had to take away the offer.

Hopefully, he's been keeping his nose clean.

Yeah, got into trouble in 2017, which is a long time ago for someone his age.

But he was arrested and charged on Dec. 1 of that year with the robbery of a Wawa in South Philadelphia. Police said Young, along with two others, robbed the wawa of more than $13,000.

@TheReal_jayD,

What happened last year?   It looks like he was playing a bunch (66 tackles in 13 games) in ‘22, and played a bunch at IASt too….  
What DB position do we anticipate him playing?  Is he the STAR?

Kicked off Ole Miss this year too?

I would be very interested to know what happened last year.

Not a lot of info here, but it does confirm it was due to disciplinary issues.  It also said he wasn't a starter in Pete Golding's defense.

Also, in digging a little more, it seems the IASt fans grew frustrated with him due to multiple targeting penalties.

We've been adding a lot of safeties this offseason. I hope our DC has a plan on how to keep these talented DBs on the field instead of them rotting away on the bench. Hopefully, the defense can get creative, just look at how the Minnesota Vikings used their safety Josh Metellus, where he played all over the field. I want all the best guys on the field!

So we are taking fliers on low character guys now? Great. 

In fairness, if we are going to take a flier on a low character guy, this is the low character guy* we want to take a flier on.  He could be the most elite defensive player who has taken the field for us since Booger Kennedy.

* I'm not saying he is low character.  He's done some clearly bad things in times past, and it's certainly possible he's changed his course.

Robbery and getting kicked off a Lane Kiffin team are some pretty strong warning signs.

Isheem had his best season with Coach Caponi as his postion coach. I am sure Caponi knows his character and if he can trust him better than anyone.

Forgive me if I don’t trust Craponi’s judgment. He has not yet earned our trust based on his decision making and performance to date.

      Earth to GMG

      The coaches caused the NIL issue in the first place with their outsized salaries and ridiculous employment contracts. And you better believe these AD's and coaches all are in on it and look after each other's financial interest. The players saw this and said "screw it" I'm getting paid too. How many of you on GMG have an employment contract or make what these clowns do a year? If you add up all the players and coaches and staff, what is that? Like 150 people? Even Ohio State's annual budget is only $215 million. In the business world, managing $200/million/year and 150 people isn't that big a deal and you certainly won't be compensated like a college football coach. This system is rigged! I say that coaches should be at will employees like the rest of us, now that they screwed up College Football.

      No. I don’t want to reward my 6-7 team for beating another 6-7 team. #ReallyNewDenton

      Two years in....

      At the end of last year I graded Morris with a D (up from mid-season D- because he won the last two games). Many thought that grade was too low, but so far, I think either D or D- is still appropriate. Here are the wins under coach Morris along with the records of the teams we beat. 2023 LaTech (3-9) ACU (5-6) Temple (3-9) Tulsa (4-8) UAB (4-8) 2024 South Alabama (6-5) SFA (7-5) Wyoming (2-9) Tulsa (3-8) FAU (2-9) So after two seasons, the signature win in coach Morris' tenure is arguably Southland Conference and FCS-level Stephen F. Austin. Let that sink in. If South Alabama beats Texas State on Saturday, then we can probably elevate them to the signature win. Yay us. If it wasn't for Chad Morris falling in our laps, I'm not sure we get any of the five wins we currently have. This was/is the guy to take us to the next level? What a complete debacle.
