Chandler is a significant national powerhouse program, no?
A 3-star from a program like that seems notable. Did this completely fly under everyone's radar?

Um... I can make a 26 yard field goal.

Like, no, really, I can. I'm 50 and don't even really exercise much.

Unfortunately I'm out of eligibility.

I can make it left footed and I’ve never kicked with my left foot in my life.

I can make a 26 yard FG, but I've never done it in pads with guys rushing me before.

doesn't hurt we put two guys in the NFL last year, I am sure that is what we are recruiting off of instead of our stellar record this year.

If Johnson somehow catches on in the league, would also help. although i'd be asking how we were so mediocre with an entire D line of NFL players.

Today Holmes tweeted what could have been guessed, that he will not sign with Tulane in the late period. Guerry reports that Tulane did not plan to sign him late.

Sounds like it's not NIL but rather we withdrew our offer. It will be interesting to see where he lands.
