we'll see if RB works. I'm just sayin' lol. As an idiot fan, much rather see OSU get these types of undersized transfer position switchers playing LB for the Bucks :)
Heh I also enjoy OSU getting four star athletes as basically projects

You bragged up Devin Bush as a great Michigan LB, who is 5’11 and 234.  Drafted by the Steelers. 

Trayunum is 5’11 and 235- but faster than Bush. 

He may end up being a star, or never seeing the field. With Cody Simon, Tommy Eichenberg, Steele Chambers already there, and the new recruits (four and five star)CJ Hicks, Gabe Powers, and Sonny styles, they added some quality depth at the linebacker position at the very least.

Well Bush deserved to be bragged on, he was a great college LB'er and a top 10 nfl draft pick. Bush ran 4.43 at the combine. Looked up Trayanum's 247 profile and the verified time they have for him is 4.63. So not sure he's faster than Bush.

There are more important things for LB'ers to posses anyways than speed. Instinct and feel for the position, reading offensive formations and plays and keys and reacting instantly without thinking- high football IQ, relentless effort, and toughness much more important than speed imo. There's a huge difference between playing fast and being fast. Ray Lewis was never the fastest guy, but he was always one step ahead of the offense which allowed him to play fast.

CJ Hicks and Sonny Styles are definitely the future at the position. My guess is this guy is just a 1-year place-holder to give them breathing room until Hicks and Styles are ready. Tough to play LB'er as a true frosh.

Likely.  But again if you look at his film he was one hell of a high school linebacker and that’s what the buckeyes wanted from him in his original recruitment.

they spent the last four years before this season with the same three guys, Pete Warner, Tuff BOrland, and Baron Browning so this year‘s crop had virtually no game experience.  I believe several of them will acquit themselves quite well next year especially with the new DC coming in and how he will use them.  Also, Knowles use LBs a bit differently than their current shit scheme( read and react, versus attack). Tryanum is likely a great fit.

Oh I disagree. Unless he really shows something, he probably redshirts next year and then has two or three years to play. The inside thumper who can run is something they could use. Right now he's the ninth linebacker, heck of a get to fill out the bottom of the roster.

If he turns out to be half of what Chris Borland was, then very good find. That is who he reminded me of coming out of HS.

Heard there were some off-field things with this kid though.

I think Chambers has a spot locked up.  Other than that, things are wide open at LB even with Simon and Eichenburg returning.

I think every spot is up for grabs - I get the sense that Knowles is going to have pretty complete control of the defense and everyone is back in audition mode. Wouldn't be surprised to see some changes in the spring.

Nebraska’s search for a transfer portal quarterback addition took a twist on Monday evening, as former Florida State quarterback Chubba Purdy announced on Twitter that he had received an offer from the Huskers.

The Purdy offer is notable, in part, because just days before new Nebraska offensive coordinator Mark Whipple joined the Huskers, he visited Purdy’s home in Arizona on behalf of Pitt.

Purdy visited Pitt on the final visit weekend before the early signing period, but the Panthers ended up accepting a commitment from USC transfer quarterback Kedon Slovis.


During the 2021 season, which was his redshirt freshman season, Purdy appeared in one game - against UMass - and was 5-of-5 for 98 passing yards and a pair of touchdowns. The 6-foot-2, 215-pound signal-caller also had a 5-yard rush.

As a true freshman in 2020, he appeared in three games with one start. He was 27-of-53 passing for 219 passing yards and two passing touchdowns. He also rushed 19 times for 57 yards. He was the fifth true freshman in FSU history to start at quarterback when he started at North Carolina State and was 15-of-23 passing for 181 yards with two touchdowns. He added 54 rushing yards on 12 carries that day.

Apparently Virginia had 4 OL hit the portal, and 3 have already committed to other P5 schools.  That's impressive
