Huh...that is interesting. Here's his stats/info from his time as a Spider: https://richmondspiders.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=2979
I wonder if they're wanting a bit of competition for the QB job, maybe to help push Sampson or just so we can have an experienced backup or something.

Looks like a RB from Richmond had his visit at the same time as Johnson did. Deontez Thompson (https://twitter.com/Tezz_Doe) is supposed to be announcing where he's transferring this evening.

We had a string of decent players (mostly JUCO transfers) from that region for a while. I know Hi-C Scott (WR) and Nick Ziegenbein (OL) just off the top of my head.
The 2014 roster, for example, had 8 guys that had come in from AZ JUCO's and two others who were in HS in that area of AZ. Mostly Scottsdale and Glendale CC's (around Phoenix), but Baker and Scott were AZ Western (Yuma).

Looks like AZ Western shut down their football program after this last season: https://www.azwestern.edu/about/news/ar ... ll-program
