He only played 4 games in 24, why isn’t he considered a RS freshman?

I don’t know if that would make a difference or not. Staley getting a lot of love as a rs freshman (I am glad he is) but Matthews seems to be right there with him and it sure looks like he qualifies as a rs freshman.

Why would he? He’s getting plenty of playing time and targets at Tennessee. If his ultimate goal is to go to the NFL he’s probably better off sticking around considering how we develop WRs.

I see you are talking about last year. No clue. They’ll figure it out .

He played in 11 games as a freshman … not 4.

You do not know what you are talking about. He was injured in practice in the Spring and threatened to enter the portal.

ESPN and 24/7 both say he played 4 games. If I remember right, he was injured in the early part of the season last year.

Why? The uncertain QB situation next year would give me pause.

Well I was going off of UT websites notes on his freshman year… so I guess they don’t know what they are talking about.

I’m thinking espn might be only showing games he made a catch in..

He probably only made the stat sheet in 4 games, but actually played in more.

Love this exchange. The guy attacks you for having the audacity to share facts from the UT website. Tells you that you don’t know what you’re talking about, while sharing rumors without provided sources.

I hope the internet never changes

He recorded stats in 4 games. That’s different than the number he played in. Here’s the MSU participation list. A game he did not record a stat in. Notice, he’s on the lists

Because there is absolutely zero idea what the QB room is gonna look like next year. Meanwhile teams with a set QB starter can go out and buy receivers.

The biggest question mark for Heupel next year is the the QB position. I wouldn’t be shocked if some guys don’t have faith in the one year rental QB trend.
