Rumor Transfer from Nebraska

[Cougarbib]

My take on this is that his arrival may allow him to be the nickel back and would add to the speed and physicality of the secondary...Trammel, Johnson, Daniel, Bills and potentially Jackson. This is the third one and done transfer early graduate that is starting a trend of good athletes with very good academic talent coming to BYU: Leslee (UTEP WR), Nelson (Stanford PR/DB), and now Jackson (NE Safety/DB).

Makes you wonder what happened to the ND transfer. He seems to have dropped off the depth chart even with a reported lack of depth.

Every once in a while you get a Uani Unga or Taysom Hill that contributes. Sometimes a Riley Nelson that is a mixed bag of good and bad, and sometimes you get not so much.

I look forward to seeing these 3 transfers plus Badger show what they have got. Then I will get excited.

My guess is this trend won't last much beyond this year. I'm guessing that the unique scollie crunch imposed by the drop in mission age has a lot to do with the availability of short-term (1-2 yr) football scholarships.

But good on Martzen for recognizing that there was a surplus of scholarships this year and finding opportunities to use that resource.

I just don't expect this to be a continuing thing. That said, it often takes a surge/splash to create a reputation. Even if this just leads to 1 solid transfer every other year, that will be an added benefit of the short term fix for our mission/scholarship dilemma.

There's an interview with Jackson http://byu.scout.com/a.z?s=338&p=2&c=13 ... 93545.html, but it's behind a pay wall and I don't have access. But he is indeed tripping to see Provo.

According to the recruiting site, Jackson planned to arrive to Provo on Sunday and tour the area until Tuesday.

He has reportedly received a scholarship offer now.

I was hoping that badger would get some mentions from spring practice.

Sounds like we got him. Welcome to the Y.

Do we get to add these transfers to our recruiting ranking?
