CHANDRIN AMIE Joins team

[ALEX LIFESON]

Looks like he will start out at safety. 5-11 176, reported last week.

Prep: Helped lead the Waskom Wildcats to back-to-back Class 3A Division 2 state championships (2014-15) … Named the Defensive Most Valuable Player in the 2014 state title game… Earned the Offensive Most Valuable Player in 2015 state title game … Was high school teammates with current SMU defensive back Kevin Johnson… As a senior, he led all East Texas runners in both total yards (2,672) and rushing touchdowns (39) … Defensively, he finished second regionally in tackles with 201, including 52 tackles for loss.

Was he not reported as a Blue Shirt last fall?

[Stallion]

yeah-he's been at camp-they just can't put him publically and officially on scholarship until a few days after camp begins to qualify as a blue-ship. Scholarship won't count for 2016 Class

Guy was a heckuva Football player on both Offense and Defense in high school-dominate performances in both State Title games I saw on TV-can't wait to see how his games translates to this level

I'm sorry, I'm not following.

Is he eligible for this year?

[Stallion]

Yes

Blue Shirt can enroll and play in first year
Grey Shirt can't play first year and delays enrollment until second semester

and neither would count on 2016 Class

[No Quarter]

I know that Cole Beasley played at a higher level in HS but how do Amie's numbers and stature compare? Or is that altogether a bad comparison?

[mustangxc]

So why weren't we able to do the same for Denzell Evans?

[Stallion]

because he took a visit to SMU a few years ago and therefore did not fit under blue shirt exception

[leopold]

Alright! Help in the Defensive Backfield!

Welcome, Chandrin!

Glad to hear this. I thought he hurt/broke his hand. He can really help the Secoundary. Motor never quits, big heart & one bad cat! He is the main reason Waskom won BackToBack Titles. Ask Franklin. Wish he was older & bigger, but that will come. Immediate upgrade over the Sanders kid. Lots more Talent finding its way onto the SMU Team. Improvement will be seen this year and as they get older, major improvement by 2017!
