Raise your hand if you knew (until recently) that Jalen Mayfield was even eligible for the NFL Draft? I have my hand raised, which makes it very hard to type. Jalen was expected to come into the year as an NFL prospect but with the season cancelled or re-scheduled this seems like a good decision. A winter/spring season will not be at all interesting to NFL grade prospects. Nick Saban yesterday, called it a JV season.
When you lose your best offensive lineman, that is not a positive thing, but there is a positive spin on this announcement. Mayfield has only been in the program for a few years as he would have been a red-shirt sophomore this season. Coach Warriner has already turned him into an NFL prospect. That alone is going to be very good for recruiting as it usually takes along time to develop NFL grade offensive lineman.
Expect more announcements soon. Kwity Paye and Ambry Thomas seem to be locks and I heard that Nico is practicing so maybe not him?
If there is any Big Ten season, the young guys are going to get a huge opportunity.
- NCAA’s Football Oversight Committee sent a proposal for a 12-hour weeks for programs not playing this fall. This is expected to be approved this week.
- App. State suspends football practice after students are on campus one day.
- MSU has gone to 100% online instruction this fall
