rumor - can anyone confirm?

[DallasDiehard]

Is there any truth to the rumor that Trent Stephenson has left the team?

Does anyone know why? Or is this just random gossip?

If he has left, best wishes to him, and we appreciate all his effort for the Ponies.

[PerunaPunch]

If true, we certainly wish Trent all the best.

Does this mean that we're now in the market for a kicker??? Hmmmmm...

Trent tried to kick himself to the curb, but he missed.

Just kidding. Sorry if that is inappropriate. Hate to kick a guy when he is down, but I couldn't get that out of my head.

[PerunaPunch]

OUCH!!

[abezontar]

with Ryan Wolcott signed, I guess it makes sense

[StangEsq]

My guess is that Walcott would have been our no. 1 kicker from day 1... no matter who was here.

[PonyTales]

Not sure about that. I imagine Wolcott and McMurtray (and Stephenson, if in fact he hasn't left the team) will compete for the job.

[Corso]

It's true. He's left the team in order to concentrate on his academics in order to try to get into graduate school.

Best of luck, Trent.

Ryan will be redshirted. McMurtray will kick next year.

[abezontar]

UNFmustang....you are kidding right?

[Dooby]

Bennett mentions redshirting Wolcott in the "recruiting Roundup".

[PonyPride]

And Ryan himself said he expects to redshirt. That redshirt would come off, I assume, if McMurtray got injured or really struggled, but all indications are that McMurtray owns the position this year.
