Unselfish Seniors
Posted: Sat Dec 21, 2019 4:11 pm
Now that the season is over, I just wanted to take the time to appreciate the unselfishness of some guys who have played their last game as Bobcats.
Logan Jones is the obvious guy, redshirting last year and then coming back for his fifth year knowing he would be Ifanse's backup.
Travis Jonsen went from thinking he was transferring in to be the starting QB, to having a position change, being a WR on a team that ran the Troy Andersen play basically every play for a year, and being the punt gunner (which I believe he does at an NFL level).
Kevin Kassis could have put up huge numbers in a program that liked to throw the ball around. I'm sure that there were plenty of programs that would have been glad to take a guy with his talents and zero character concerns, where he could have caught 80 passes a year. But he stuck around and got really good at blocking in the open field instead.
Derek Marks gave up a 5th year to add size and strength because the team just needed bodies when he was a freshman.
Who else belongs on this list?
