I know the season is basically over... but what the hell happened to him? I remember being really excited about him, but he couldn't do a damn thing this year.

And I also remember him being a pretty high 4 star.

Fought through a lot of injuries through his career, but just never lived up to the hype for whatever reason... I still wonder what could have been with him at linebacker. He might've made a pretty good 34 OLB.

The old coaching staff wasted 3 years of his life by bouncing him between end and linebacker and never letting him learn one or the other.

Hard to do anything from the sideline. He was the only DE that was getting a pass rush, when they actually let him play.

Also in the NC last year, he was wreaking havoc on Winston in the 1st half. Then Lawson played almost the entire 2nd half, and Owens stood on the sideline. SMH

We had a good many players that were similar to Owens the past few years. Think about the guys we signed that we had big expectations out of who really did nothing


I will start


L. Owens
G. Wright
J. Whittiker
C. Sanders
T. Reed
K. Frazier


Just to name a few. While I was looking at our last 5 years recruiting classes, I got the sads looking at all the players we signed that got gone somehow and never played. I will put together a list today for your amusement.
