The team is really deep in fast wide receivers. Zach Jones, Xzavior Guess, and Jackson Fay all have impressive 100M bests. Fay and Guess’ times are wind aided
Zach Jones 10.55 this year in college.
Jackson Fay 10.58
Xzavior Guess 10.84

Sounds like they were featuring young guys and guys who haven’t been at the top of the depth chart. Was the #16 on kick returns the true freshman WR (5’10) or the DB (6’0”)? I guess it was Jackson Fay the wide receiver.

A package deal, high school teammates who want to go to the same school.

The two recruits from Timberline High in Boise aren’t listed on the roster. Jack Brant and Sam Haener.

in the updated roster we have a new 3* defensive end Jason Davis Jr. 6’3” 270lbs. From Gridley

The natural range of Redwoods corresponds to where they have summer fog, they get a lot of their moisture through the leaves. Might be hard to grow in davis successfully Maybe Sequoias might do better as their range is not defined by fog. Dont know. I live in the north bay and see a lot of water stressed Redwoods and we do get summer fog but not enough.

Brock Galvin in his interview with Jordan Fisher says Fisher is a four year senior and comments that that is rare. It is not. Fisher redshirted as a freshman playing in only four games, so he traditionally would have been described as a red shirt junior, same with most of the other seniors. This is a manifestation of the confusion the roster creates by listing players with the same eligibility in various ways.

The roster could be done by students but someone needs to supervise them by assigning the task, standardize the labels that are going to be used to indicate class or eligibility, and then having someone involved with the team sign off on the output after catching errors. For example someone who knows that a HS recruit who enrolls in the Spring isn’t a sophomore in the Fall. It seems like this task has not had anyone responsible for it.

What are the chances they will post a roster before the scrimmage? There should be about 25 additions who are not listed, and likely a few players listed are not on the team.

Mercer Head Coach, Offensive Cordinator, and FCS defensive player of the year Zock, all left also

I notice that a defensive quality control analyst, Nick Murray who is still listed on our hibernating 2026 roster, is now an inside linebacker coach at San Diego. San Diego is picked by the coaches to win the Pioneer conference, in a close vote. Last year San Diego beat then #24 Southern Utah.

Appreciate the coverage.
Samuel Akem has a joyful personality. Good questions.
Samuel Gbatu provided some names that stand out to him in camp. Among the newer names he mentioned were Xzavior and Chaz, which I assume to be Xzavior Guess and true freshman Chaz Gilbreath, two guys who haven’t been seen yet. Good to hear.

The athletic department release is about the All Big Sky Team.
On Steele’s All Big Sky team, Jaden Green from Lehigh now at Cal Poly is 2nd team, Jordan Fisher is third team. I think Jordan is more deserving, not only did he face better defenses but he has more rushing and receiving yards.

In case anyone reads the Enterprise, the quote below isn’t correct.

Another quarterback who is scheduled to join the Aggies is Colton Tannerbaum, who was a redshirt sophomore for the Arizona Wildcats during the 2025 season.

Cole Tannenbaum appears not to have been played in 2025, he was a redshirt sophomore in 2024. He entered the transfer portal in April of 2025. He only has a single year of eligibility left based on the five year rule. He is a grad transfer according to Plough.

The roster issue is a multi year problem. Errors that they make there are sometimes reflected in national media, and have in past years cost at least one player league and national recognition. I can give examples, but I’d be repeating myself. Most errors don’t reflect a lack of resources, just lack of attention to detail.

You’re right.
Several players posted commitments just in the last few months. Could be they were late additions to replace losses, so i’m real curious to see the roster.

It only applies to class of ‘22 players who exhausted their eligibility in four years, in other words never redshirted. Both Stanley and Simpson started in ‘21.. Rocak in ‘20

The QB on a mission is Ty Miller from Clovis East.
Miller committed to play quarterback at UC Davis, but he won't start his freshman year until 2027. Miller understands he is likely to end up at another position. He said so in an hometown media interview.
Plough didn’t mention yesterday the QB from Idaho, Jack Brant.

Plough also mentioned as a QB Trevor from San Diego. Which must be Trevor Taumoepeau who committed on December but who I think is a walkon

Was anyone aware of Cole Tannenbaum, a player from Oaks Christian who walked on at Arizona and rose to be the #2 QB, coming here?
