Some updates I found from weenieworld. Good luck to Dudek who is going to be a on a coal black team with pretty much only he and Epstein as white athletes to play on the team. It is a shame he has had ACL injuries and now will most likely be having a scattershot black quarterback throwing him the ball erratically.
Hawaii redshirt senior WR Dylan Collie transferred to BYU as a graduate. Collie (5’10/175) had been deciding between a move to either BYU or Vanderbilt. The Cougars make for a familiar choice, here, as he actually initially signed on with the program out of high school in 2012 before later transferring to the islands. This past season with Hawaii, Collie grabbed 56 passes for 636 yards and a quartet of touchdowns. He figures to make an immediate impact at BYU as a graduate transfer. The team could use all the offensive help it can get after finishing as one of the nation’s worst units for the 2017 season.
Tennessee coach Jeremy Pruitt said QB Keller Chryst will compete for starting duties.
Chryst (6’5/236) is a graduate transfer from Stanford and will look to start for the Volunteers. Pruitt continues by saying, “there’s probably other guys that would like to have come here, but I would not tell them they’d be the starting quarterback — that will be determined by the guys on the field.” Chryst went 11-2 the past two seasons as the starter for Stanford, but was benched for redshirt freshman K.J. Costello halfway through the 2017 season. He will be competing with sophomores Jarrett Guarantano and Will McBride for the starting job.
Illinois Coach Lovie Smith said redshirt senior WR Mike Dudek has “no limitations on him.”
Smith continued by saying “Mike is just a good player” and “This is valuable work for him in this new offence. We have big plans for Mike, not just as a receiver but as a returner also.” After being named a True-Freshman All-American in 2014, Dudek’s career has been derailed by two torn ACL’s in consecutive seasons. In 2017 he tallied only 24 receptions for 262 yards and a touchdown as he missed five games due to other injuries. Dudek will look to make a significant impact in his last season as a collegiate athlete.
