He makes fast look easy. He's got a stride like a race horse. Don't even look like he's trying. Wonder why JSU? Maybe Grad class we offer? Family in the area? Or, wants to set some return records to increase his draft stock? Yeah, maybe that one.

Or, wants to set some return records to increase his draft stock? Yeah, maybe that one. I wondered that as well. It doesn't surprise me at all that he left Duke. But he had the grades and stats to go pretty much anywhere. Why lil ol' us? My first thought was that maybe he was related to former DB Thaddeus Philyaw, and that family connection pulled him here, but I can't find any hard connection between Thaddeus (who was from California) and Damond (from Pensacola). They share a last name. That's about it. Being from Pensacola, he certainly could have family in the area, though, and maybe he felt a top-level FCS program would be more valuable to him than playing at a G5 like USA and certainly a D-II like UWF. He graduated from Duke with a sociology major and education minor. Maybe it's as simple as, he found a good fit for grad school in our college of education?

Probably wants a good academic school degree to cover up the one from Duke on his resume.

We're down another QB. The Star is reporting that A.C. Graham has left the team.
Also... CB Jacquez Payton has decided not to enroll at La Tech, and will transfer instead to Alabama State.

We had six quarterbacks on the roster. Stands to reason, that someone was going to leave.

Both AC Graham and Besean McCray are enrolled at JSU, as of Aug. 10. Why they're not on the roster, I don't know.
As for Jackson Lowe, he's still unaccounted for. Not on the roster, not enrolled, reported back in the Transfer Portal, but he's still maintaining radio silence. I'm not expecting him to be a Gamecock, but it's weird for someone to fall off the planet like that. The good news is, the other Tennessee TE transfer, Sean Brown, is in camp and on the roster, and the other TEs -- mostly Freshmen and R-Freshmen -- are tall and athletic. It's a solid looking group.

Is Sandlin still there coaching TEs? I stopped following his tweeter long ago, could stand it any longer.

Lowe’s Instagram profile lists him at KSU. He doesn’t show on their roster, but he might just not be added yet. And, of course, it would be the other KSU, but he’s not on their roster either.

He's a Cartersville native. If this is the case, though, here's hoping we wound up with the superior ex-Volunteer tight end.

Duke players get plenty of chances to return kickoffs.

Duke players get plenty of chances to return kickoffs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk They do. But they also have Duke blockers clearing their way, which makes that 24.27 average even more impressive. I'm assuming Philyaw-Johnson will line up next to Michael Pettway on KRs this fall. That's a great choice for a kicker... kick it to Philyaw-Johnson and his 24.27 average, or Pettway and his 25.1 average. Those who can will kick it through the end zone. Those who can't may just opt to kick it out of bounds. I'm willing to bet we'll see a lot of that this year. Now if we could just settle on a punt returner. Anyone know if Craig Agee has any remaining eligibility?
