Transfer WR Marcus Washington

[SOHusker11]

Will be visiting this weekend. Could be a replacement for Betts.

Texas WR Marcus Washington expected to enter the transfer portal

With Washington planning to transfer, only six of Texas’ 26 signees from the 2019 class are still with the program.

Would be a good replacement for Betts. Not quite the athlete imo but still good enough. 6'2 and has experience with CT

We really need another wide receiver? Aren’t there bigger areas of need on the team?

Yep I'm still concerned about the O-line

 

[JabroniBlvd]

Exactly..

Yes, but we don't know all the scenarios on kids leaving. We also have to be in touch with reality on returning WRs from last year. I think we have talent but numbers are numbers. Only two players over 100 yards.

Manning 381 yards, 2 TD
Oliver 170 yards, 1 TD

We need better players 2-deep at every position

That’s astounding to me that only 6 of 26 signees in 2019 remain on the roster at Texas. We’ve had bad experiences with transfers in recent memory, but nothing like this.

I have no doubt that, because of the transfer portal, teams like Texas can recover from this, but man, that’s keeping around 20% of a recruiting class.

As an aside, it just goes to show how irrelevant those initial recruiting class rankings have become these days with the portal. Only 6 of Texas' 26 member recruiting class remain on the roster. Far more important to a team right now, I think, to do good in the portal transfer space.

I think our 2018 class only saw 6 or 7 kids remain past their 2nd year (could’ve really benefitted from one additional player leaving, too)

Palmer had 344 yds in 2021 and 108 the year before.

Amazing to see the changes to college football play out - this is crazy

I guess I didn’t remember that… that’s really bad. I thought we had 10 or 11 remaining…

Garcia-Castaneda is hurt....I won't count him till he is ready to play. Palmer is a big help but that is one player with the loss of Toure and Betts IMO we need one more kid like Washington. Not to mention Manning and Martin have a history of not being on the field.

 

[HominidHusker]

If we could land Washington, I’d love for coaches to take him on a homecoming tour through his native St Louis to help sell the Husker brand.
That’s a market we’ve failed miserably at tapping into. It’s been Tre Bryant, and….
crickets.

 

[mikecanale]

i'm told by a texas fan that he's the best blocking WR on the team. i don't think he meant it as a compliment, but he is a Texas fan, so his football knowledge is questionable.

He was definitely the best blocking WR on the team, no question about that. He did have some key drops, but he's worth a take, IMHO. From all I've ever heard about him, he's a great teammate and definitely has skills to contribute.

Thanks for the info.

FWIW read elsewhere he is already N and visit is a formality (just passing along what I read)

Wouldn't surprise me one bit since he was teammates with Thompson.

 

[cruelhalo]

What's all the BS about Betts? The dude made a few good plays and people act like Nebraska is losing an All-American. Is it because he was from the Omaha area?

I don't get it.

very highly rated recruit with top end speed.

For what it's worth, Purdue has made it sound like he really liked Purdue.

There isn't going to be a limit on the number of players we can add in this class. We just need to be at 85 this fall. I think we're at 86 now.

I'm sure they're still on the lookout for OL and DL as well.

Now official.



We can now add as many commits as we want in this class as long as we're at 85 by fall.

Basically, for each player we bring in from now on, another player will need to leave.

not doubting the kid but like it or not Garica- castenda yards were at a different level of play..

Still believe in Palmer but he was a top tier 5 star that’s careers been really a bit of a disappointment thus far.

And don’t mean to hate on Martin but he probably caused two of our losses last year. He’s got a lot yet to prove in an actual game. I believe he proves it in practice but he needs to do it in games.

I don’t know that we have a #1. ultimately if Mickey thinks he needs someone else, then by all means…

The 5/1 date though does impact who can leave clean: they mention medical retirements and grad transfers, but I would add players who may be looking to drop out of FBS ball.

Others may have to sit out a year, although NCAA has a history of handing out waivers like halloween candy.

Another huge W for NIL + player freedom!!!!!!!!

undefeated & no signs of slowing anytime soon!!

 

[PeliniTheCrutch]

He oozed quitter in everything he did.

Yes.

 

[Boiler_B]

Washington would be a good get cuz...he is familiar with CT amd CT is familiar with him.

Dont forget, CT w his hand injury has had virtually zero off-season work with his WR room...I mean how do u get familiar with ur WR Corp if u can't throw them any passes?
And seeing as how CT had a cast on his hand immediately after the spring game...means his off-season work w his WRs went down even more.

CT threw like 3 TD balls to Washington last year so they are familiar with one another already.

Did he actually have a cast after the spring game?

 

[Boiler_B]

yeah, there was a photo of him with one on right after the spring game..like a photo from the day after the game or a few days after the game.

Silent roommates already. Lol

He didn't ooze anything if he didn't want to play the game.

You always need another WR.

I was wondering that same thing about the safety who committed when we brought him in with the defensive tackle from Alabama. We have a lot of safeties already.
