saw that RB Tra Carson is going to transfer from Oregon. They mentioned his cousin plays for UW. I think it is Trey Norman. All from Texarkana. 6' 225lbs. I'll take it! Sound like he played as a true freshmen last year. Would have 3 years after sitting.

Thoughts, Hopes, Dreams?

I know it's a pipe dream, but wouldn't it be badass? When was the last time we had a transfer from a big school? I see we do get some transfers but usually from small schools.

According to his RIvals page, we had offered him, but he was rated at 3 stars, 6'1, 218lbs, and ran a 4.6 40yd dash.

Sounds like he would be a good power runner, and since Ghaali Muhammed is moving back to defense, another power runner is exatly what we need.

 

[MrTitleist]

If he's transferring from Oregon he's going to have to sit out a year.

 

[Bryoming]

I think he has a redshirt year to burn still.

 

[laxwyo]

that's why I said he'll have 3 years to play after sitting. played as a true frosh for Oregon can't be too bad. I saw that he and trey norman keep in touch on the twitter. They've had to have talked about it. maybe we can score a great transfer.

Would be an incredible transfer, but will likely have higher profile suitors.

Still, we have some connections and recruiting him heavily out of high school. Would be a nice addition.

Uche was a cousin to a current Poke at the time (Ugo) who had higher-profile suitors. He was coming out of Junior College (Indian Hills in Iowa) at the time though.

 

[J-Rod]

Very good player, but Oregon is not a good system for his type of ability. Looks like Byron Marshall will play right away for the Duckies. Here's hoping Carson gives UW a legit look and doesn't just return to Texas.

Oregon could prevent him from going to a big school by only granting his release to certain conferences

He is pretty good friends with Kody Sutton if memory serves me, Sutton and him are both from Texarkana. Sutton went to Texas HS and Tra went to Liberty-Eylau HS.

I remember seeing something on some site about those two, It's been too long to recall.
