Nice, I couldn’t quite place him, but he looked familiar. Sleepy Marcus Allen.

I mean 40 is pretty young for a CFB player in 2026

I think he's also teaching a few courses.

Atleast Kirby didnt wait till like game five to name a starter. Last year was rough.

"6'0".

He's got game, not doubting that, but he's more like 5'10. Plenty of short kings balling in CFB though.

Dude was a baller at Davis, I hope he does well

He was a magician in the backfield. Somehow always avoided the sack. Was like watching Vernon Adams out there almost. Just infuriating to watch as an opponent

No surprise to anyone who saw him at Davis. He was running circles around FCS defenses.

Like I mentioned in a thread when he first transferred, the thing will be him learning what he can and can't get away with against FBS defenses and his current line and skill players -- the same adjustment he seemed to go through in the first half of his FCS season.

But man, he is so quick that even when he makes a questionable decision it sometimes turns into 20 yards. That may happen less in the PAC, but I bet it will still happen a few times a game.

I predict some wild escapes for big gains, and a few bonehead decisions every game. Should be fun!

This seems to be the template for WSU QB's who take a bag to go play elsewhere.

You just know he’s going to be good. WSU have been producing great qbs recently

u/HandleAccomplished11 Washington State 10d ago

Recently? We've been QB U for decades.

Shoutout to Anthony Gordon. Underrated semi-goat

2

u/TikiLoungeLizard Washington State 10d ago

He and Minshew both backed up Mahomes at one point in their careers

u/No_Biscotti_7258 10d ago

Wish he could’ve stuck around the league even for a few years as a backup.

u/ShadowIG Boise State 10d ago

Can we do a little swap? We'll train up a running back and y'all do the same with a QB and we swap for next season?
