A name to keep to keep an eye on? A transfer from Navy?

Re: Trace Oldner
A 3 star OL from Texas, class of 2018, who left the USNA Prep School. He'd be like Julius Warmsley, a true freshman. He was offered by us, Air Force, ULM, Indiana, and several Ivies, as well as Navy out of HS.

Re: Trace Oldner
Three Stars, nice other offers (including P5 schools). Looks like a great pick up.....and we get him for 4+ years.

When TU23 said we didn’t have room, it could be that he knew of Oldner’s arrival already.Yankeewave wrote:do we have room? would this be in the next class, i am assuming? love OLs

Re: Trace Oldner
Nice size, has room to add a few pounds, and a nice guy (well, talked to him for about 15 seconds - seemed nice during that time)..
Re: Trace Oldner
Comes from my neck of the woods, Katy, TX. Foster high school has been terrific the past several years. Their offense in particular, has been prolific. Should fit our OL perfectly.
Re: Trace Oldner
Both Rivals and 247 shows him as a 3* for 2018 with offers from Navy, Air Force, Cent, Arkansas, Columbia, Dartmouth, Indiana, La. Monroe, McNeese, Sam Houston St., Steven F. Austin, TULANE, UNLV and Yale. Rivals shows at the time he was 6-5, 290#, 247 shows 6-5, 308#. Just sayin.long green wrote:A 3 star OL from Texas, class of 2018, who left the USNA Prep School.

He was Navy's 2nd highest rated recruit from the 2018 class. PER 247

Re: Trace Oldner
any time we sign a OL recruit who holds offers from Navy or GA. Tech, I'm happy.

Re: Trace Oldner
I'm confused.
Did he sign with Navy?
Where was he for 2018-2019?

Re: Trace Oldner
Almost, but not quite. It's a post-high school prep program to help folks who need some sort of small boost before entering an academy. This is often academic in nature, but it can also involve concerns about acclimation to military-style schooling or even a way of gray-shirting for athletes.Poseidon wrote:Military Prep School.Wavery wrote:I'm confused.

Re: Trace Oldner
Take a look at Navy's roster and you'll see a huge part of it came through the prep school. Probably the same with the other two academies.

Re: Trace Oldner
Considering he had offers from Columbia, Dartmouth, and Yale, I'm guessing it's not an academic situation.GretnaGrn wrote:It's a post-high school prep program to help folks who need some sort of small boost before entering an academy.

It's pretty clearly grayshirt IMHO.PeteRasche wrote:Considering he had offers from Columbia, Dartmouth, and Yale, I'm guessing it's not an academic situation.GretnaGrn wrote:It's a post-high school prep program to help folks who need some sort of small boost before entering an academy.

Re: Trace Oldner
Grayshirt used to mean non-aq. If he had offers from ivy leagues that isn't the case. What do you mean? The only logicial thing I can think is he had no familiarity with military/ROTC and needed to go through that.GretnaGrn wrote:It's pretty clearly grayshirt IMHO.PeteRasche wrote:Considering he had offers from Columbia, Dartmouth, and Yale, I'm guessing it's not an academic situation.GretnaGrn wrote:It's a post-high school prep program to help folks who need some sort of small boost before entering an academy.

Re: Trace Oldner
The prep school is where they stash players that need to redshirt. If you look at our site he is only 278# and that's after spending a year in prep school. It wasn't academic related.
We deserve so much better

You are correct.wavedom wrote:The prep school is where they stash players that need to redshirt. If you look at our site he is only 278# and that's after spending a year in prep school. It wasn't academic related.
I received a presidential and a congressional appointment to the Naval Academy and a full NROTC scholarship to Cornell, Duke, Tulane. NAPS is not for acclimating kids to the military although that does occur by osmosis. NAPS as the prep school is called was ostensibly established for kids who showed promise but weren’t quite there academically, or were academically there but had some physical issues. That’s the charter however it became well known that USNA has used it like wavedom said, to stash football guys who were academically ready but needed some physical grooming. I had a submarine classmate who was 6’ 6” and went to NAPS as a lineman recruit but hurt his knee—the fact that he was a Rickover nuke means there was nothing wrong academically—it was stockpiling.
I liken it to BYU with their mission returning 24 YO players. If someone really cries foul something might be done but everyone just lets it slide. The good thing for the NAPS attendees is since it’s not technically college yet they have zero obligation if they leave.

Re: Trace Oldner
Looks like a good addition. If football doesn’t pan out he has a name for country music.
