I know Rocco appears small in these pics with his dad, but Anthony is 6'5" - 6'6". His mom appears to be barely 5' though. Rocco is basically the same size as Trace.
You don't know that. I have a feeling Campbell will play the best guys and if they are ISU guys then so be it.
Read that Texas will spend 40+ million on this years squad! Sark will need to win or at least get to the championship OR the big money donors might be looking elsewhere
Having all these updates dumped into one thread is like the lazy college guys who have garbage all over their apartment ... they get last second notice their parents are coming to visit, so they shove it all into one closet, randomly. Then one of the parents opens up the closet and gets hit with an avalanche.
Not arguing, genuinely curious. What are your data points for that? I’ve not heard or seen a thing since I don’t get to watch practice.
I hope he plays the best guys, whether they're ISU guys, PSU guys or other TP guys. It would be silly not to.
From what i’ve seen, I think he has a higher upside as an edge rusher. he’s listed at 6’4 220, so you’d have to put about 20-30 pound on him but that’s not impossible. i worry about his coverage skills as a linebacker, but he has the speed, bend, and frame to be an edge rusher. he also played edge in HS so he is familiar with the position. We are very thin at edge rusher right now and I believe he could make a difference if we move him down. the linebacker room is deep and i don’t know how much he plays LB next year but i believe he could be in the EDGE rotation next year.Not arguing, genuinely curious.

Sorry, I’ll allow you to get back to the seriousness of teenage millionaires and where they are attending “college”. I apologize for not taking it seriously.
We’ve taken too many of them for several not to be backups. Didn’t we take 3 TEs from them?
A 5 star Freshman, with a ridiculous NIL and zero playing time. Didn't
hear anything good or bad about his potential. Rumor was he got a
million , don't know if that's true or not.
May be too light - listed at 6-3 220. Needs to gain 25+ lbs for edge.
Campbell seems to be a sensible HC not a CEO type. I would be suprised and disappointed if he did not play best players.
My mistake. He looks bigger on the field. With all the talk of Campbell liking bigger players, he isn’t very big.
I really liked his mobility. He showed it in the blow game vs. clempson. I would like to have seen him back at PSU.
Doesn't do us any good...would be great for them
Why give life to Franklin?
Reynolds was an awful blocker this year, and it’s not like he is a freshman anymore. VT can have him.
Rapp ended up the year as our best TE. Looking forward to his production in 2026.
Agreed...and we have a very nice duo next year as well even without Reynolds
I agree. Rapp, Brahmer, and Burkle will be a good TE group.

Thankfully, by that time they will all be PSU guys.
Grunk gained a ton of fan support, much like Terry. He was a big part of what salvaged the season, and looked fairly good while doing so. Albeit, having Singleton and Allen to lean on.
Oddly, this may actually somewhat help the lower level teams. They may get some better recruits, since the big boys will be concentrating on the proven portal players. Plus they can pickup the leftovers from the portal. Their problem will be they have to go through this every year like the big boys, but without the budget.
