Does anyone know Leo Blackburn’s Status?

[RamblinWreck27]

Does anyone know Leo Blackburn’s status? I haven’t seen many if any notes from practices about his progress or practicing in general. From the spring I thought he was on track for the beginning of the season. Is that still the case, was that incorrect, or did something happen this fall that has him dinged up?

 

[smokey_wasp]

Last I heard about a month ago, he is healthy and planning to play. Could be taking it easy through camp, I dunno

 

[BigDanT]

Was really hoping he would be breakout this year. Lots of smoke around him when he got here and got hurt.

 

[originalwombat]

Sounds like his status is “it’s complicated.”

He’s our secret weapon. No news about him. Nothing from the coaches, no mention of him in media questions. The coaches are hiding him. He’s gonna be a freak. Watch and see.

The next Mouhammad Faye?

The next Mouhammad Faye?

Let's hope not. Wonder how many on here will need to look him up to figure out what sport/ position he played?

Mehe, I've been a Tech fan long enough to have seen dozens of practice squad all Americans that never get any meaningful playing time be it injuries, overhyped, etc. I'm not going to put too much stock in any of the hype with this guy until he shows up in games.

Well we have Francis Kallon more recently. Then there was the five star transfer from Florida whose name evades me and I don't care to look it up. I have nothing against these guys, they didn't hype themselves. I hope Blackburn lights it up on the field.

Oh my goodness I forgot about that guy. Had a feature article in the New York Times sports section. He was the Hobie Holliday of that class. Yeah, I go back that far. And a lot further than that.

Calvin is the only top recruit I can recall that has lived up to his billing. Something always happens.

Marcus Wright broke practically every Texas track record and, apparently, the sound barrier. But in pads I can't remember him ever making it around the corner on a rocket toss.

Did you know that Justin Thomas was recruited by Alabama and Nick Saban???
