  • walk-ons

    Based on spring camp are there any walk ons that we expect to contribute, even on special teams? I suspect Jamison Frazier and Shane Hunter will get pt at linebacker, how about the canadian db?

    Frazier had a great spring he finished with 5 sacks and 5 ints. Bronco said that he will battle it out with Jordan Atkinson for a starting spot.

      I guess that means that Kyle Van Noy has no chance to start as a true freshman. Why does Bronco always choose to lose by sitting the more talented players?

        Maybe Van Noy will be on the other side?

        And then at the Will linebacker spot, it will either be Jordan Atkinson or Jameson Frazier, those will be the two players filling Coleby’s spot. Now that precludes at this point any freshmen coming in at this point that happen to really have a fantastic camp. Those would be the four players I would mention to you right now, filling in those spots.”

          What ever happened with Jaime Hill and Atkinson? Didn't some speculate he was kicked off the team or was it just a "get-off-my-field" one day spat?

            Those quotes were from yesterday. So sounds like a one day get off the field thing.

              Isn't the other side manned by Pendleton? I would have a hard time understanding if they have both Van Noy and Pendleton on the same side.

                That is Pendleton's spot, I am pretty sure Jordan will start next year. I never expected Van Noy to start as a freshman. I was in jest. However, with the emergence of Frazier, I do wonder if Atkinson could serve the team better at ILB.

                  I pray to the J there aren't any expected to contribute. Walk-ons had to walk-on on for a reason.

                      And that is just one of the more prominent. The list of walk-ons who go on to major contributors is not small.

                      For Utah, Brandon Godfrey, Mike Wright come to mind right off. Griff McNabb will be the guy this year.

                          You're a numbers guy Indy, what is the percentage of walk-ons during Mendenhalls time alone as HC that have gone on to start and get at minimum MWC Honorable Mention?

                          Walk-ons are good for the Scout team and getting destroyed on Thursday nights for the amusement of the Two-Deep.

                            I walked on the field once. Sadly, I was escorted out by an orange-coat because I was in fact one of the droids they were looking for.
