TE Aaron Hackett transferring to Kent St

[PhatOrange]

Guys are going to leave with the new transfer rule. The two on o were a redshirt junior and senior. I could see s. Johnson. Thompson-bishop, Hendricks transfer. Maybe a couple other wr. D we may loose a couple.

Hendrix ? where to, Medical College ?

Mahar is 6'5 225. He and Benson are nearly the same size. There is a role for these guys but it starts with getting the OL in order and then the offseason, Gilbert's first one.

But didnt you also hear that TD was gone? Not bashing...just hoping your info isnt all there is all. Really dont want to see a mass exodus.

yup, hoping that others have changed their mind and heart like TD.

My info that I heard from was super close to TD so this was a change within the last week or 2.

which is a positive on this team and on Babers.

I would expect us to bring in a transfer WR now

Big loss

Not really

 

[hoopsupstate]

Babers should review tapes of games Dick MacPherson coached and his effective use of the TE position as a pass catcher.

All they need to do is watch ND's offense.

 

[Dinkyspond]

Hackett had some big drops, turnovers and penalties this season. Time for new blood.

I don't want him to leave but this is true on all 3 points

Generally just at the end of this year when he was hurt. He has been very good for us over the years.

 

[smartman]

Damn.

don’t blame him. Seemed way underutilized and a non-factor this year (a few misses on him too).

all the best!

Good luck to Aaron. I hope he does well in Lubbock and gets a lot of chances to catch the football.

Appreciate all he did for SU football while he was here.

Lubbock=Texas Tech
Ft. Worth= TCU

Big big money at TCU, becoming a spot for east coast kids as well.

Thats a pretty damn good pivot for Hackett. Congrats to the young man. Correct me if I’m wrong but they like to sling the ball as well. Good stuff.

 

[crales44]

Nice landing spot for Aaron.

And probably to the TE

 

[qdawgg]

Can’t blame the kid for wanting to play in a fast paced, dynamic offense that likes to throw the ball. He’s going to do well there.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

He's going to have a monster year and get drafted.

 

[Finwad32]

He's going to have a monster year and get drafted.

I certainly hope so... nothing but the best to young Mr. Hackett!

 

[orangepassion]

Congrats to Aaron and his family. They have been all class and wish them nothing but the best. With the amount of guys in the portal, it says a lot about him that he had an offer from a P5.

 

[PhatOrange]

Congrats to Aaron for latching on with a P5. That seems to be a rare occurrence for our transfers. But he is ironically the 2nd Syracuse TE who has transferred to the state of Texas.

Over under on how many receptions he has for TCU?

In 2020, the TCU TE’s had a combined 2.3 receptions per game. In 2019, they combined for 2.5 receptions per game. In 2018, they combined for 0.5 receptions per game. In 2017 (the last time they threw for over 3,000 yards), they combined for 0.6 receptions per game. I’d put the O/U at 16.

He caught 45 passes here? I think 20 is the number.

Aaron is a fine Tight End. He was ranking tops in the country, per PFF, for pass pro this year. (#1 early on. 6? games in? ) If he felt they weren't going to utilize him in the receiving game, he needed to move along. He'll light it up. Best of luck, to one of our better players.
