I'm ready, lol.
The guy has been playing a long time. Says waiver granted for a 7th (!) year? Edit, Huddle says 5 ... But I see four years of stats. Only a couple games this year. Good tackles nos previous years. A couple ints each season he did play.
Welcome to the Hoosiers!
@openwheel It'll be his fifth season. He played 29 games 2021-2024 and redshirted this year playing in 3 due to injury
Thanks, I couldnt figure out the 7th year BS. Looked like a legit Wisconsin website, must be AI crap.
TY!
Looks like a good veteran physical presence and deep cover guy. Glad to have him since Cig and Haines want him!
EDIT: Not sure how we count seasons but he supposedly inked with Wisconsin in 2020. No word why no play in 2020 . Then 2021 missed entire season with a hernia. First snaps 2022.
So, maybe 5th year. But anyway, was supposedly expected on the roster earlier but probably wasnt.
@openwheel Nevermind, I found the error. He played 1 game in 2020, did not play in 2021 and took a medical year this year. So yes, he's a seven year guy
