2009 Redshirts

[lwedge]

Somewhat related question. Earlier in the year at leat two walk-ons, Carlille and Kling I believe, got some attention on this message board. Where there other walk-ons and are any of them expected to be on the team next year?[/quote]

In the secondary, the three best redshirts are safeties Jay Scott and Robert Lloyd and corner Jeremy Gray.

Scott is the only one on scholarship but the others were brought in with the promise of getting one after the first year.

Scott will likely see action early at safety as he continues to get bigger and become more dedicated. He's already put on about 15 pounds and is working on getting stronger. Good instincts and will be contributing when he has the spring and fall reps.

Lloyd is the strongest of the freshmen at skill positions on offense or defense. Benching 330, with a big vertical, and very fast, he should see a lot of time with special teams next year as well as at the nickelback. Was injured in August or he would have been a regular on the special teams this year.

Gray has tremendous fundamentals at the corner and is very smart. Tough competitor with good speed, he should also see time at the corner during 2010. Unflappable and currently gives the starters a tough time during practice.

Additonally, these three are together a lot and could really be part of a strong unit in two years.[/quote]


Im not familiar with the other two but Im high on Jay Scott[/quote]

you're probably familiar with Jeremy's daddy, Jerry[/quote]


Jerry is a great guy and as well know, a world class athlete. Fabulous career.

He schooled his son well. Good gene pool. Jeremy will be a very solid player for SMU during his career. He and Lloyd live together, I think, and they can't wait for the spring.
