per Mark Ennis. Yeast was Under Armor All American and started several games last year. He played sparingly this year though.
Russ Yeast Transferring
- Thread starter Knucklehank1
- Start date
If you watched him on the kickoff team, he refused to block and has shown no heart for defense since he came here. Maybe a move to offense would have helped this coming spring but that is a moot point now. Just consider it a scholarship for the incoming class..
Not one person on this team from the players to the head coach have heart. It's a contagion on this team. It all starts up top
I think as I mentioned in another post it is important to realize that Russ was a wide receiver in high school and where he got all the accolades. It was only when he got to U of L that the coaches tried to make into a defensive back. In hindsight, maybe the coaches were wrong about a lot of the players, i.e. Yeast, Travis, Bonnafon, Traveon Samuel, etc.
Word is , Tyra talked to both Russ and Travis, asking them to give the new coach a chance.
Russ seems to be receptive, especially if he gets to play his natural position at WR.
Travis is intent on leaving. USF is in the lead for now for his services.
