Custis Cleared

It has been a long and windy road for the 3-star prospect who was rated as the third-highest member of Georgia Tech’s 2013 class, per 247sports composite rankings (Based on the team’s needs this past season, Custis could’ve been the Yellow Jackets’ most important recruit).

A long and windy road, huh?
 
Who is he going to be competing against at BB? Are either of Laskey or Sims returning?
 
If Laskey is returning, I don't see anybody beating him for the starting job in the preseason as a likely outcome. I can't tell my ass from a hole in the ground when scouting new players, but I feel like Custis would have to be something special. I won't complain if that ends up being the case, of course.
 
He'll definitely get his shot in camp. Would not be surprised if he becomes the starter
 
Looking forward to seeing Custis play but I'm not going to get hyped up about him until I see him on the field.

Freshmen RBs and WRs typically have easier paths to winning a starting role than players at other positions, so if he can block better than Laskey and run just as well he will start.

Why, what's the worst that could happen? If he ends up starting, there's no way he transfers.

From what they were saying about him last year, he very well may be something special. It's all just hype at this point, but I think at the very least he is at least a very legitimate competitor for the starting job this year. Beyond that, we'll have to wait and see.
 
B-back isn't like QB, Custis doesn't need to be the starter to get a decent number of snaps.

Truth. I could definiely see him getting a bunch of carries this year, but I hope Laskey can take some strides with blocking because he has proven to be a capable playmaker, and he takes care of the ball as far as I can remember.

I like Laskey when it's not time to block.
 
I hope he's all everything but the last few years have taught me that nobody's nothin' until they do it on Saturday.
