Florida Tech cut their football. One of their former commits just committed to CWU: Wide receiver MJ Harris. From Chandler, AZ, he walked on at ASU in 2016 before going to play in a junior college amateur football league in AZ (remember AZ cut their official JC football). He was then on the roster at NAIA Arizona Christian but apparently redshirted. So over the last few years it appears he has not really played at all at the collegiate level. But a fresh start up at CWU. https://www.hudl.com/video/3/1090633...185f0d4cd0ab6c

CWU has added another D1 running back transfer in Cameron McKinney from North Dakota (no, not ND State, but the other one). He played his senior year of HS at Garfield after moving from Texas. CWU should have an unstoppable running game with how deep of a backfield they have https://twitter.com/_longlive11/stat...72937399562240

This goes by my theory that an in-state Washington kid is better off not going half-way across the country to play middling FCS ball when he could play for a D2 power down the road and have his family watch him play. I get the scholarship aspects of it, .

Lots of kids make bad decisions just to say they play D1 when their friends think D1 is Alabama but they're going to FCS Samford. If the kid gets a full ride, I think it's the right move. If the kid is getting a partial that means he ends up paying the same amount as if he would have stayed home, it's a bad choice.
The GNCA's best-ever player, Mike Reilly, was at Washington State, as a backup QB. He transferred to CWU and the rest is history and he's cashed out in the CFL, and was MVP of the league.
Oregon State wanted Kevin Boss to walk-on. He didn't want to, and he also wanted the option of also playing basketball (which he did), and WOU opened the door. Concussions stopped a fairly solid NFL career, which included a Super Bowl ring.
WOU wide receiver Tyrell Williams had no D-1 offers; he just got injured for the Las Vegas Raiders (still not used to that), but not until he had signed a $44M contract.
I could go on ... former Humboldt State lineman Alex Cappa is a rich man while starting for the Tampa Bay Bucs.

Totally agree, and I have heard that a lot of the FCS signings are indeed about telling their friends at parties that they signed D-1.

On Twitter, it appears CWU just added a QB transfer from the Pac-12 in Arizona State's Jack Smith. He played high school ball in Indiana before moving to Phoenix and then joining ASU where he was a backup for a season before missing the next THREE years due to injury. In recent news stories, they say he a 5th year senior. But on his Twitter he announced he still has 3 years of eligibility left, so he must've gotten some insanely generous waiver from NCAA. He was brought back to ASU by new OC Zak Hill, a former CWU QB. But Smith opted to enter the transfer portal, and I have to assume Hill put in a good word for Central!

Update: The person who posted the video is telling me Smith is not with CWU (yet). So I am wondering why a QB from ASU is randomly training at Tomlinson Stadium in Ellensburg, WA. Has to be because he plans to play for CWU.Last edited by CWU Wildcat Nation; 09-10-2020, 02:38 AM.

Be good to have some competition at that spot. Loose Canon didn't do so well. Football Jesus was -okay-.

I'm always surprised these deep backup quarterbacks at Washington and Washington State don't transfer to Central Washington.
Mike Reilly and Cole Morgan had pretty good careers at Central. Winning program, nice facilities, it's a lot more attractive than sitting on a bench and never getting to play, while getting your brains beat out in practice.
I see former Oregon high school state player of the year,John Bledsoe, left Washington State after not playing for three seasons there. I wonder if Central would look at him or he would look at Central? Yes, he is Drew Bledsoe's son.
His uncle, Adam Bledsoe, transferred from Colorado to Western Oregon, and he set the school record for most interceptions in a season ... ouch! That was a Blaine Bennett move that didn't work out for the Wolves. But I think John Bledsoe is worth taking a flyer on.

We all know how the last Pac-12 transfer at QB did. Those are some huge shoes to live up to as it also includes a Grey Cup MVP.
Funny thing is that neither Montana or Montana State recruited him much. Then he nearly beats the Griz in 2008.
