Yup, good to have depth either way. Here's his page on Merrimack's page: https://merrimackathletics.com/sports/f ... arter/7975
He is a '17 HS grad and prepped at Jireh Prep before Merrimack. I doubt credits from Jireh would transfer so I am betting on sitting out a year.ST_Lawson wrote: ↑Tue Jan 14, 2020 12:54 pmYup, good to have depth either way.

So he must either be sitting out a year, or he's finished his bachelors in rapid time and is doing a grad transfer, I guess?
And that does look to be the case.sealhall74 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 14, 2020 1:13 pmHe is a '17 HS grad and prepped at Jireh Prep before Merrimack.

It would be interesting to know if Merrimack brought in a blue chip QB this year.
Yes, this last season was the first year for both Merrimack and Long Island University in the FCS. They are both in the NEC.
Raw QB potential IMO. Needs some foot work help. Lots of his throws were on the run and pretty accurate at that. Would make a nice wildcatter.ST_Lawson wrote: ↑Fri Jan 24, 2020 11:02 am A bit more on the QB front. I was sent the link to this guy's twitter account:
Jake Smith, QB from Canton, IL: https://twitter.com/Jake33Smith
His bio says he's a WIU Football commit although I didn't see any specific tweets about it (which is why I missed it, I think).
He's 6'3", 210lb, and here's his hudl page with more info and video: https://www.hudl.com/profile/8107747/Jake-Smith
I don't know if he's been offered a scholarship or just a PWO, but my guess based on who else we have is that he'll redshirt this year along with Clay Bruno, and then we'll see how things go next year.
Seal, maybe he will convert to LB and be the next great Conference LB from Canton. I'll even take half as good as Boomer Grigsby!!!!!!sealhall74 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 24, 2020 11:54 amRaw QB potential IMO.

Maybe he fits better at linebacker.? I would call him a true "bruiser" at the postion if he has any speed at all.
