This is fairly normal that early enrollees join bowl practices if they are finished with their school. They can't play but are able to join in the activities. Examples below (and the bylaw)...

I think it's an important caveat that he was a backup due to a good QB room at Fresno State. Jake Haener was just drafted in the 4th round and the guy who replaced him, Mikey Keene, is no slouch either (stats below).

Great example of this is Benny Sapp who left the Gophers because he was burried on the depth chart, transferred to UNI where he became a 3rd team all american, and is now playing for the Packers. Or Chris Streveler who is the only Gopher QB in recent memory that has appeared in an NFL game as a QB.

Went to HS in Rockwall, TX which is about an hour away from Denton so it seems like a natural fit.

Curious how this goes with Dino as a part of this? Would be surprised if a P5 team is going to offer both of them as a package deal on to get Athan with Dino not cracking any part of the roster even as a special team contributor. Would not be surprised if he was only offered as a PWO at this point.

It definitely can make it harder to hold on the commitments but Minnesota also can't afford to wait because they don't have the profile that USC and OSU do in order to flip commits late in the recruiting cycle

I hear what you're saying, but what would happen if he does play and he balls out? Then he's got numerous more transfer options and more film from the extra bowl practices (that are geared towards underclassman). He'd keep his redshirt either way and then may have gotten to make his college...

A good landing spot but seems odd that he would would transfer before the bowl game that takes place in his home state where he would be one snap away from playing after AK left.

Can't imagine he's leaving his HC position at Baylor to be a DC...

https://www.espn.com/college-football/game/_/gameId/400852724 Let's hope the Gophers can emulate what Baylor did in 2015 with all of their QB's hurt where they rushed for 645 yards and the win!

This. Loved when Mo got a Gushers sponsorship. Would really love to see some of our Minnesota HQ'd businesses step up and support local athletes.

Just because he didn't play in his RS-Freshman season doesn't mean he's not good. Quinn Carroll didn't really play at Notre Dame and has been one of our better lineman since he transferred here.

Did Tanner have some bad games? Yes. But his receivers did him no favors in 2022 (ie MBS dropped TD which turned into an INT). He was also the winningest QB in our history, had the best statistical season in Gopher QB history, broke numerous school records, and rarely ever played bad enough to...

Given the Gophers special teams I'm all for a scholarship going to ANYONE who can be an upgrade at KR/PR. We desperately need it.

Navy is not bowl eligible even if they win against Army so the Gophers are in no matter what. NCAA rules make it so any game after conference championship weekend does not count towards Bowl eligibility.

This. I have no idea why the Gophers went away from the RPO that was our bread and butter for a while. Give Athan the chance to make a choice and utilize short passes to let him get into a rhythm.

Got in line at 2:05 to get into the stadium and missed the entire first drive. Easily the worst stadium security experience I have ever had.

Interesting tidbit I noticed is that Brady Boyd has only appeared in 1 game for TTU this year... https://texastech.com/sports/football/roster/brady-boyd/12464
