WT Football

Buffs add transfer Franky McFadden, 6'5 295 OL, Neb-Kearney transfer. Parker, Co HS. He'll be a sophomore. His HS Hudl highlight video shows him playing center.

Watched highlights. Decent run blocker. But he NEEDS to be coached up. Terrible mechanics. I am guessing from PW to HS he was just the big kid on the team and that worked for him and his coaches. Doesn't look like anyone really developed him.

With a good deal of coaching and hard work, this young man could be a serious force. Can't wait to see what the WT coaches do with him.

Its been interesting watching these new staffs (UTPB, WT, and ENMU) go about there recruiting.. Its seems UTPB was hot early and signed a bunch of skill kids, WT seems to be closing well with more of a focus on o-line & d-line play and it seems ENMU has quite found their footing on the Transfer scene or maybe they are not putting an emphasis on them.

Are you referencing this tweet because this is actually just a retweet of Alhaji Kamara's tweet, another ODU player. Alhaji is saying he has 3 years eligibility left.

Yep. hat really threw me a curveball on Harris. I should've gone back and researched his time at WT.

Ahhhhh. Got it. So, a misunderstanding.

Pitt had a few guys last year who were here for 6, played 4 full plus a handful of games during covid. I thought that was the max you could do without a medical redshirt.

Me too!!! And he has already competed in 4 full seasons.

Tobias Harris is back in the portal. He claims to have 3 years eligibility left. If he has 3 years left, I assume he never got on the field at Old Dominion last season?

Wait....he played 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 at WTAMU and 2022 at ODU. How does he have anytime left? The extra year of eligibility moved it from 5 years to 6 years to complete 4 years of playing. Based on stats, he played 3 years at WT and 1 at ODU making it 4 full seasons played, not including COVID year.

I am very confused.

That's what I was wondering about. 2 years at WT plus 1 at Old Dominion leaves 2 years left (covid year included).

The nerve of these WOU fans hijacking a WT thread!!!

[SPWOU]

WOU switching to the Flex Bone?

Possibly, current WOU QB ran the TO in HS. haha

I think USAFA might not have been a fit and that being one reason, he threw for 3,000 yds his Sr. year of HS.

he started 12 games at ODU? Crazy considering he’s a D2 transfer. Where does it say he’s in the portal? If the bio is right, there is no way he has any eligibility left.

He is an exceptional player. The entre defense played better when he was on the field.

I looked over each of his playing years. He only played in 3 games (out of 6) in 2020, so it's possible he got a medical redshirt for that year. That's the only way I can see where he would have a year of eligibility left. Hughes understandably loved Harris, which is why I thought he might have shown up on the NO team.

Yeah I was thinking he might have taken a shot applying for other D2 head coaching positions and turned his nose up at coordinator positions and got caught with nothing.

This could be a stepping stone or that was the last thing left besides being jobless for the year.

Me personally I would have looked into a temporary 5A or 6A head high school coaching position in Texas as a "last resort".

Some of those jobs could pay equal or more than some of the D2 head coaching positions.

Many pay more than D2. More job security and MUCH better benefits!!!

Usually better facilities....more $$ to work with and in many cases unlimited resources and talent (i.e. Southlake, Allen, Katy, Highland Park, etc...etc..)

Not to mention packed stadiums....phenomenal game day experience....and lots of extras from local businesses.

I would take HS coaching over D2 or FCS and some FBS ANY DAY.

I think Tobias may be math challenged. He played in every game last year, https://odusports.com/sports/footbal...as-harris/6674
