very excited to see how the running back room plays out this coming season

 

[Ogee Ogilthorpe]

 

[GophersInIowa]

Wow!

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

so who redshirts?

 

[gopherbadgerman]

Someone will leave now I would guess. Lots of cooks in the kitchen.

 

[GopherFanatic19]

Potts and Williams just are not feature backs, run this guy and evans with Taylor coming in next year

 

[MNVCGUY]

Looks like a really nice pickup that will take some pressure off the young guys to have to fill the void left by Mo right away.

Edit - Looks like WMU still has a couple of DL in the portal, wonder if we have any interest in either of them? Sure there is some appeal for these 3 coming over from WMU to get to continue playing together at the U.

 

[MaxyJR1]

With history of injuries to our RB's this is a huge get!

 

[UpAndUnder43]

Thats a big time get. Established back makes me more confident.

 

[WriterGoph]

Dude look at the wheels on this kid! Sounds like he also me may be part of the kick return picture.

 

[WriterGoph]

Sounds like he will easily be our fastest back and a serious deep threat! Caught 43 balls the past two years as well! We are getting DEEP at the skill positions!

 

[Otis]

Much faster than Mo, guy is a real burner.

More Bucky than Mo.

Wow... speed!

love that he seems to be an all purpose type back!
running, receiving, returning!
we just got better today!

so who redshirts?

Marquese Williams (from PA) needs to add weight, so I'd guess he is the likely candidate. Taylor is coming in this month, so you would assume that he and Evans are both in the mix for carries, but now they don't have to try and be 1A and 1B in 2023.

 

[WriterGoph]

If we can find some kind of OL transfer between now and post-spring ball, I honestly can't say we have a need on the offensive side of the ball. Crazy! We REALLY seem to be shaping up for an exciting offense in 2023!

I don’t quite think this really takes the pressure … off.

More like amps it up to perform.

Dude has speed.

 

[jonnyganas]

Can run fast in the snow.

 

[DarrenTheGreek]

Interesting that he can catch the ball out of the backfield and committed after the departure of KC. Wonder if it signals a potential expansion of the playbook?

Welcome aboard, Sean Taylor. RTB!

 

[GopherWeatherGuy]

PJ isn’t fucking around on offense in the portal this year

 

[zman]

Dude has speed.

Not as fast as everyone else. They're blurrier.

 

[Bob_Loblaw]

Huge pickup for the team. He has that homerun speed and he's more of that Bucky type of runner. He only has 1 season remaining, so he shouldn't step on the toes of the FR or Evans.

 

[BBJones]

P. J. can't have many fans left at W. Michigan.

He took this one from OK State. He had already entered the portal and committed there.
