WLU posted 25 players in their signing class (https://hilltoppersports.com/news/20...ing-class.aspx). WVU transfer QB Jack Allison is the prize bull from the class but it should be noted that two other D1 transfers have also signed on to play with the Toppers including:
LB Nick Coulter a 6'2", 235 sophmore from WVU. Coulter signed with WVU out of John Marshal HS WV were he was an All-State performer.
DL Brodrick Watson a 6'5", 275 junior from Northern Colorado. Watson signed with D1 Northern Colorado out of Bishop Lynch HS in Dallas TX.
One DII transfer in the form of:
RB Tyler Moler a 6'0", 190 Redshirt Freshman from Charleston. Moler signed with UC out of Parkersburg HS WV were he was an All-State performer.
Among the other signees, eight have earned either singular or multiple All-State football honors over their HS career.

Don't get a whole lot of former 4-star recruits in the MEC. He is a pocket passer which is a bit different than our last two starting QB's. If he is as advertised, he should do quite well in WLU's passing offense. Of course I am mindful of the last big name D1 transfer QB we picked up...LD Crow. How'd that turn out??

Absolutely a nice get, but why WLU ? Does he have a connection with coach or family/friends. On roster at MIAMI as FR in '16, at WVU as RSFR in '17, RSSO in '18 and RSJR in '19. Career stats all at WVU- 42/71 for 496 yds, 2TD/4INT with 11 carries for -46 yds. Time will tell.
Yea, he had offers from Bama, and Florida, Fl State, Missouri, Baylor, Tennessee, South AND Central Fl as well as Miami coming out of HS...4-Star recruit and Under Armor All-Star game selectee...Ticks all the physical stats and can make all the throws you would expect. But he hasn't "broken through" in two stops which causes me to go Hummm. Also apparently not the most mobile QB around and given WLU's OL deficiencies, that's probably not an ideal.
He is a graduate transfer which is a straight forward process when a player goes from a D1 to another D1. But DII's handle eligibility differently than D1's. He was an early enrolee at Miami in the spring of 2016 (one semester), then the fall of 16 and spring of 17 (2 semesters), fall of 17/spring 18 (2 more), then fall of 18/19 (2 semesters) and finally the fall of 2019 (1 semester). That adds up to eight total semesters "playing" so he SHOULD have two semesters of DII eligibility left. I note that Allison will not be on campus for Spring Ball this year. Kind of makes me wonder if there is the possibility of getting him for two seasons.
He has the tools to be really really good at the DII level and I'm very happy he's coming to the Hilltop. But there have been some notable examples of highly rated D1 QB's riding into DII towns and being pretty pedestrian.Last edited by boatcapt; 02-20-2020, 01:51 PM.
