Vernon Dozier Playmaker

Utah told him he was being “medicaled” and was losing his roster spot. He could stay and finish school on their dime. He chose to transfer and play.

There are at least 2-3 players I can think of that are buried deep on the bench

BYU has pulled scholarships before and will again

I don’t know why pulling scholarships is a big deal. When players get signed by

You do realize that eligibility years didn't count for 2020?

He should be a redshirt freshman in 2021. I think he redshirted in 2019.

pinolero

He played in both 2019 and 2020. This last season won’t count against eligibility. He will be a sophomore.

I thought he played in less than 4, apparently he played 8.

FYI. There are obvious choices for who to cut

Too many hypotheticals there. True ANYTHING is possible and players in this

This is correct. I counted it up over the past few years. Kalani has cut...

It really hurt program depth when there were players riding the bench

Interesting. And this woulda been as a fresh RM.

Not sure. It was after his shoulder surgery...

Vernon Dozier

I just know he transferred to us shortly after returning from his mission.

SinkingQuffa

the simple fact is.. P5 programs dont do that.

I disagree. Most do. I think most parents can see through it...

Its not a 'philosophy'... it is a guarantee (an actual conference rule)

BYU doesn't cut scholarships just because someone better comes along

Yeah, he's solid. 1000 career yards

I was thinking nay, but that probably deserves one if it's the only way.

It's not uncommon for guys to transfer after spring ball if they see they are

There is a lot of natural attrition

More transfers and medical retirements are coming that will clear spots

JaTarvious Whitlow (former 2x leading rusher for Auburn). Not transferring now

He was not coming to BYU

cougman02

Also he isn’t a all American he lost his starting job at auburn and now plays

cougman02

Correct. He's not coming. No scholarships. He was a frosh AA

And there’s a reason he’s at western Illinois

It's sounds like you know him and his family well? Interesting.

No not at all. But a kid going from 700 yard rusher in SEC to western Illinois

Epps is just a freshman

I’m excited about Epps. Jackson is unproven but looks fast.
