looks like Choate brought in 2 RS Sr's and he was 3rd on the LCB depth.

A backup on Nevada's roster doesn't seem like a huge get.

We need veteran depth at the position.

And likely expected to be starting until the 2 RS SRs came in. We are not getting a MWC starter to transfer. We will get power Conference 3rd team or next group backups that want a chance to start.

statement, not a knock on him.

I think it’s pretty much a replacement talent wise for the guys that left…. (Without knowing much about him)

Bryson Parker, Jon Johnson, Andrew Powdrell, Dru Polidore….. generally speaking these guys are starters in the big sky, but fighting for a starting spot in the mountain west (and probably coming off the bench).

Exactly. We just need him to play at a level similar to Jon Johnson. After that we have a hyper-competitive young group of corners about 5-7 deep when new freshman come this summer.

NEVADA CAREER
JUNIOR (2024): Redshirt season ... Appeared in one game, making his Nevada debut at Boise State (Nov. 9).

PRIOR TO NEVADA
Arrives to Nevada after playing at Los Medanos College … Named to the All-Pac-7 First Team in 2023 … That season, made 37 tackles (27 solo) with one interception and seven passes broken up … Also made 3.5 TFL … Made a season-high three pass breakups in 2023 season finale against Yuba (Nov. 18).

Bryson Parker has shined as a starting defensive back as a freshman with two interceptions and pass breakups.

I am glad we have some speed in the young guys. Dru Polidore’s closing speed was noticeable.

This was short lived...

And rightfully so. Who's up next on the depth chart?

This is absolutely me spitballing but it seems we have a spot and a scholarship that just opened.

Looking for the kind of money we don’t have.

Is it even possible to sign a new player two days before classes start for the Fall semester? This guy will be on his third team in three years, I'd rather they just redistribute Parker's scholarship money to players who are already on the roster and have worked hard to deserve it.

I remember back in the Kramer days we played an early game against colorado (and won), and then the next week one of their DB's transferred to the cats. Henderson, I think was his last name.

Side note: that dude was bad news....i'm surprised he wasn't arrested that year along with some of Kramer's other transfers.

I also remember Kramer signing a transfer from Louisville who I believe joined the team as they were traveling to a road game (maybe the opener at UAB in 2001). He didn't work out either. Kramer did some great things to begin the resurrection of MSU's program but he was asking for trouble with some of those transfers. Then again, there are also guys like Junior Adams and Joey Thomas who took full advantage of their opportunities and have gone on to do great things.
