His 247 page shows we had interest in him and never offered him. I bet he goes to Colorado state or Colorado, somewhere in his home state. Would be a good get if we got him though!

We have expressed interest in adding another TE if the right guy comes along. I know we've taken a look at a couple of JuCo guys.

Still unsure why we moved Logan Lee to TE this year. He could have been a good rotation guy on the defensive side like we was 2 years ago.

Looks like he would be able to play immediately.

Did I read that right? 1 catch for 2 yards this year? If that is the case, I’m not sure that he would be the guy.

Technically speaking I don't think Repp had any receptions the year or two prior to transferring here.

I know you also know he didn’t play tight end. However he did have catches as a freshman.

Very true. I don't know much about Lynch. Perhaps he just couldn't find his way up the depth chart?

Gary has said a few times that we are looking for a TE (So let's move Logan Lee back to DE?!), so I would assume we are.

I just wanted to point out that the transfer portal is absolutely crazy right now. There are so many kids going into it from P5 programs. Given how many kids are in it I'll be disappointed if we don't end up with 2-3 guys from the transfer portal. I think USU has a lot to offer a kid like that.

Most of the time these kids have just realized they just want playing time. In a lot of cases they can come to USU and get all the playing time they can handle while still being part of solid program.

I think we can show kids that over the past couple of seasons that transfers have made a huge impact and have gotten plenty of playing time.

Precisely, All the coaching staff has to do is pull up how we used Jalen Greene, Siaosi Mariner and Caleb Repp and any offensive players should be sold immediately.

We are absolutely in the grad transfer market at SEVERAL positions right now.
