Codie Hornsby transferring to Tulsa

[AngryOtto]

Sure but who is that 6-8 spot now?

The OL room is looking real light these days

outside of that 5 you listed who is left?

Byron Washington and Josh Miller? Who else am I missing?

Bertrand

I think we have bigger holes at corner. If we can’t get a veteran guy to hold the room down, then we’re looking at multiple penalty’s a game and blown coverages.

I'm on the outside and I don't know anything.
But it appears to me so far that Fran doesn't have the money he had last year. You would have hoped to hold on to 2 or 3 of those linemen.

It doesn’t seem his character but unless he know this is going to be a tough year and isn’t just handing out money because we have it. I’d rather see him save it in the war chest for 2026. The positions i would pay for would be QB, OT, WR, DE, DT. Rest can be worked around. He have to find a way to maintain our recruiting hits. I’m sure it had more to do than just money but hitting on a kid like Watson only to see him leave when he should really start to excel hurts. Peña is more of a whatever , but we can’t get our best players picked off every year. If that becomes a trend it won’t matter how well we recruit.

Yeah, I get your point, but we just lost a starting DT, our starting center, and 2 other OLs who started at times last year. It's easier and better to keep the kids you already have because they know the system, and you know them. That's worth spending some money on. Nobody's paying $2M for a lineman, but we need to keep more of the guys we've got.

I’m willing to bet we had the talk with at least half, maybe more, of the OL that left.

 

[JimBoston]

Something isn't right. OL is a development position, yet, 10 OL have left since last year.

Yeah, not Reed, not Cruz, not Watson, not Wohlabaugh, but if he didn't want to play C, ok, I get it.

But we lost 3 other very good guys.

 

[IthacaBarrel]

Except didn't a kid he coached at Louisville decide to transfer in?

exactly, kids are going to come and go at every position. Just the way it goes. The O line coach is fine.

 

[crales44]

I think this may be a new thing. P4 reserve linemen see the bank starting FCS and G5 are making via the portal and may decide transferring down a level and actually playing may translate to a big $$$ day in a year.

 

[hoopsupstate]

They also just might not be good enough.

It does hurt to loose depth but horsby, wolenbaug (sp) and Cruz are all in their last year of eligibility and were not slated to start. I do not blame them for leaving. The staff already grabbed one potential replacement who may start and I would expect at least one more.

Who is Watson?

 

[SU Mania]

Who is Watson?

Freshman All-American Defensive Tackle.

They have brought in 13 of the 16 OL the last two recruiting cycles. They’ve turned over the unit on purpose.

 

[GoSU96]

Freshman All-American Defensive Tackle.

He’s not an OL

 

[IthacaMatt]

Who is Watson?

The defensive lineman who just portaled, Marad Watson, is that his name? The big DT who was a freshman.

Bingo and a lot of them did not leave for $$$$$$$$. In fact I do not think a single OL left for more $$$$$

 

[bnoro]

If Ferguson from FSU comes here, we significantly upgraded on Hornsby.

Other than Reed that is correct

Good luck to Codie.

Well we can put Codie on the board as one who did from his tweet.

 

[richmondcuse03]

Good luck to Codie.

Same. He’s got an adorable little girl. Being the best father matters a whole lot more than football. Hope he finds a good spot or has success in whatever he does.

Fair to say the Louisville transfer was brought in to be the starting Center and Codie is portalling to find his own starting spot?
