I'm starting to wonder if I should even get excited when my school announces a new big addition. Will it matter? Is there anyway an NCAA season happens? I saw today it doesn't look like Alabama and USC will be playing their opener.
David Durden was announced today as the newest member to the West Florida football family. That isn't a small addition. Durden was drafted in 2017 as an outfielder by the Boston Red Sox. He played last year at Mercer (FCS school) as a freshman All-American and was also selected to the SoCon All-Freshman team. As a freshman, Durden started all 10 games for Mercer. He scored three touchdowns on five touches at Yale for 122 yards...not against Shorter, against Yale! Took a 95-yard kick return to the house vs. Western Carolina for a school record. He burst out for a 28 yard run against ACC school North Carolina on his way to 70 yards on 7 receptions and even threw a pass against the Tar Heels. On and on.
To lose the best WR in school history in Tate Lehtio and then be able to find a guy like Durden to take over his role should be a dream for an Argo fan. Instead, I'm left feeling like UWF vs Minnesota State might be the last UWF game I watch for awhile.
I hope like crazy I'm wrong. I miss West Florida football already and it's only May.
