Justin Johnson and Farrod Green

It appears we may be flipping a Flipper at the TE position .... If so we will have 6 TE's on the roster going into Spring...... Could one of these two lose a little weight and move to a big WR? I think Johnson could be the more likely of the two as he was a WR in high school.....

another thing 6 TE's? And we can't use a scholarship to go after a K?

Arkansas gives everyone problems with 2-te sets. I think dan needs to incorporate more 2-te sets esp considering we aren't exactly loaded at wr right now.

If any of our TE's could do it my guess would be Justin Johnson and maybe Dontae Jones who has lost a lot of weight since he has been at MSU but was still around 250 last I heard.

We ran a ton of 2 TE in the egg bowl

I really like what I've seen from Farrod Green. D. Jones was a big recruit at one time and he's fallen off the radar. We'll have to see on him. He's got a great attitude and work ethic I hear.

Pierce is a freak type receiving TE like an E. Ingram, so we could line him up outside all day. Green and Pierce would be some athletic recieving TEs.

Justin Johnson didn't make the jump I thought. There will be fierce competition here. Johnson is only here one more year, but we may have a transfer unless we can move someone to WR or defensive end like Shane McCardell**

I think if we get Pierce, we should absolutely run 2 TE sets all year.

Johnson was only a sophomore, he's got 2 more. Johnson and Thomas will. Ejuniors, Green soph, Jones frosh.

That's a lot of youth...someone could transfer. Thomas has one more year.

2017: 2018: 2019:
Thomas, Sr Johnson, Sr Green, Rs Sr
Johnson, Jr Pierce, Sr Jones, Rs Jr
Pierce, Jr Green, Rs Jr Roberson, Rs JrGreen, Rs So Jones, Rs So A. Williams, Rs So
Jones, Rs Fr Roberson, Rs So
Roberson, Rs Fr A. Williams, Rs Fr
Austin Williams, Fr


I think Austin Williams may grow into a TE, so let's include him here....we're set for TEs for the next few years. I'm sure we'll get a transfer or two unless Pierce plays more WR and possibly Green.

I'm almost certain Thomas graduated HS in '15 and is in the same class as Peters, LLewis, and only played one year of JUCO. His hailstate bio is likely wrong as it has been in the past with other players eligibility.

ETA: I could be completely wrong, but I've thought I've read that before. 247 says he was class of 15 in HS, but he could have went to JUCO in the spring of his senior year. That's likely what happened and where I'm getting things mixed up.
