But, but, but…we have to get a transfer QB before a WR will commit!


He had 200ish yards receiving at Cincinnati last year and was down to us and Cal I wasn’t even sure we wanted him

He had almost 1K yards at Hawaii 2 years ago when Marcus Davis was there so hopefully they have a plan for how to use him

I guess

He checks some boxes. We needed a large target and needed someone with experience. If we have more room after spring I hope this isn’t the only guy we add in that room

He’s got one year of eligibility remaining

RB Brian Battie just committed!

He's small, but can really play. Great KR too.

This one I’m excited for. He’s the perfect profile for a change of pace back and he put up serious yards (1186 yards, 6.7 YPC) for an otherwise bad USF team

Someone said he is like Shivers but better between the tackles. He will be a great pickup.

How many years does he have left?

He’s got 2 left since his first season was 2020

It’s really hard to recruit backup/complimentary RBs in the portal when you’ve got a rock solid #1 back like Hunter. This is a great get by Freeze

This is copy and pasted on his profile from USF:
quote:

2021: Named a 2021 NCAA Consensus All-American, becoming just the second in program history and first since defensive end George Selvie earned the elite recognition in 2007... first team All-America selection from Walter Camp and FWAA, two of the five major selectors... six first team All-America selections (Walter Camp, FWAA, Phil Steele, Action Network, Bleacher Report, Pro Football Network) and three second team (Sporting News, Pro Football Focus, CBS/247 Sports) as a standout kick returner.

quote:

Battie finished fifth nationally with a 32.5 yards per return average on 20 return

quote:

had an NCAA record-tying performance vs. Houston (11/6) with two 100-yard kickoff returns in the game... joined Utah’s Reggie Dunn (vs. Cal in 2012) as the only two players in NCAA history to post two 100-yard kickoff returns in the same game

Great pick up I think. This AL. Com article says he's a former All American. I guess as a kick returner? Would he return kicks/punts for us? LINK

This is such a nice change from this time last year...

Good players that fill a need on the team.
