WR Courtney Jackson transferring to Arkansas St

[David321]

Is it wrong that I feel… sort of, relieved by this? I have no ill will towards CJ but I feel like the WR room is so crowded and he has done just enough to warrant snaps, taking away from other guys who I’m more interested to see. Idk if that makes sense?

It’s just odd how he fell off so quick as he was our leading receiver last season. I’m assuming it’s because of Anae’s system but I’m not sure why that is.

I was really excited about Courtney when he came out of high school, had a reputation for having great hands but just never fully developed. I wish him nothing but the best though. Maybe Kent State is a landing spot with our old buddy Sean Lewis?

never fully developed...?
He was our leading receiver last year.
Not sure why things just didn't click under Anae.
You could see this move coming though.
This is probably one group of the roster where CUSE could afford a "transfer".
Gotta think Morgan's going to hit the bricks...maybe.

We need quality, not quantity!!!!!

I felt like he was not as physical this season. Too easily affected by any contact.

Courtney never seemed to fit in this Anae offense, so no surprise. He had opportunities though & is still a good receiver. Best of luck to him.

Courtney looked like a key contributor as I re-watched the Purdue game on ACCN, but he seemed to just fade away after that game.

I think Courtney is the one who grabbed the big flag on Saturday. Might have been his sort of swan song in his last game in an SU uni.

I thought it was Wilson, number 24.

Courtney couldnt get open as a 3rd option. Hope he finds success elsewhere. Imo other guys deserved more snaps.

He came in weighing something like 160 pounds and never was able to get his weight to even 180.

If you are only 5’11, you need to be damn strong and fast to get open against ACC opponents. He was fast enough but not strong enough/tough enough. Just got bullied by bigger defenders.

It blew my mind when we went deep down the sideline to him against I think Purdue?? It resulted in an easy pick. He's just not a p5 guy.

We absolutely need an upgrade in speed out of that position. Second half of the Clemson game gave teams the blueprint on how to defend our offense, and we didn’t have the speed to make them pay for it.

Clemson came out the second half with man coverage and a single high safety…often times walking the second safety into the box to take away the read option run game.

Normally you could make the defense pay with vertical pressure and some drag routes underneath.

As good as Gadsden is, I wouldn’t call him a vertical threat. And he’s the only one of our receivers that can consistently beat the press off the line.

Jackson couldn’t stretch the field and struggled against physical corners. Alford is an enigma.

Take this time to get an injection of speed and perhaps physicality at the position. Best of luck to Courtney.

Pound the portal….hard and fast!

I know everyone says this when they transfer, but how can he be Forever Orange if he won't even be Orange next year? Someone, please explain.

What do you expect him to say, “this program sucks”? Whether it is legitimate loyalty or just being respectful, I like it. It shows maturity in some of these young men.

How can Rod Stewart be forever young?

And Neil Diamond be Forever in Blue Jeans, babe?

Gasden is great at finding the seams and beating the lb/safety dudes when he gets a head of steam at them. If we had legit deep threats to force teams to account for he would even be more dangerous as those holes would get bigger

That’s great

I find it interesting that Kansas did not offer our incoming WR recruit, who is a Kansas native, but they offered our outgoing portal WR.

Different systems different ideals.

It was Demarcus Adams

Looks to me as though their talent evaluator is consistent. Hopefully consistently bad…

Looks thrilled to be there
