This guy is going to be great for us. Returner, receiver. Fast and explosive. He ran at QB for EWU too. Loved his video. AS was said by SoCal, I like this guy.

He didn't like the humidity and missed the mountains.
Michael Wortham will be a force for us. He is not easy to miss when playing. His versatility will be quickly noticed. I am glad he came to UM. If he stays healthy, he will star for the Griz.

As far as MLB, isn't Solomon Tuliaupupu, at 6'3" 247 lb., experienced as a MLB?
Be interesting if Tuliaupupu and Tolbert both start as LBs.
Korbin will see limited time on the field this year as he will need to prove himself as a WR. I feel he will be a contributor on special teams. Like that he comes from McKinney, TX - possible future recruiting area.

While you could be right, I am thinking he sees more playing time on the field if he has good hands because we have lost our four top WR's to graduation/transfer last year with Jr., Fontes and White graduating and Sawyer transferring. We will definitely need 3-4 kids to step up at WR, and Wortham and Korbin could very well be among them. I do agree with you --Wortham obviously as a senior and a starter @ Eastern has more experience than Korbin.
Big Dog - a good name for someone 6'7" and 320#. Since he is a junior this should be a good time for him to shine when proving himself. Based upon his athleticism being a 3 sport athlete in HS and his 2 yrs of playing college FB at lower levels he should be a major contributor to our "O" Line once he learns our system. I'm expecting good things from him on pass protection and opening holes for our RBs.
Good short video. Big TE. Married.
Our OL/TE (Big Boys) will be one of our strengths this year with additions like Joshua. His blocking abilities will add to the depth of the OL while an occasional pass outlet TE player will add some yards to the offense.

Ya, I liked this get too. Only one year and the TE room is very crowded but he was a preseason all con TE last year I believe and has a lot of ingame experience. I do believe blocking is his specialty, like you said, offering the occasional outlet.
Diezel comes to the Griz as a transfer from Idaho as a sophomore with several years of playing time ahead of him.
He has all the physical characteristics of a safety - 6.0', 200#. a year's experience playing 12 games as a freshman.
He's #24 on roster.
I believe he will start at safety for the Griz or be on the field most of the time. I expect he will be a major contributor to our defense in his first year as a player.
He has a unique hobby: barber/hair cutting.

Once, just once, I would like to hear one of our athletes say that they spend their off time doing something other than "playing video games". I mean, c'mon, they are students. Don't they ever study, complete course work, go to the library, volunteer in the community, read good literature, do actual grown-up stuff, focus on getting a marketable degree, look forward to creating a life after football? Pet peeve number one. Call me old-fashioned.
Rolling my eyes so hard they'll never come back.

Okay "old-fashioned". You obviously haven't been listening to the Griz athletes. I have and I have heard of all kinds of activities in addition to "playing video games". Granted none are "study, complete course work, go to the library, volunteer in the community, read good literature, do actual grown-up stuff, focus on getting a marketable degree, look forward to creating a life after football" but that is evident in the football team's Big Sky Academic Awards. "The Bobby Hauck-coached football team's 40 selections were the most for that sport in the Big Sky and the third-most in program history. To be eligible for Academic All-Big Sky honors, student-athletes must hold at least a 3.2 cumulative GPA and have participated in at least half of their team's competitions during the fall."
If you look at the Griz football team's majors, they are well-positioned to earn marketable degrees and creating a life after football.

It's time 66volvo comes out of 20th century thinking and realize that football players in the 2020s are high achievers - both on the football field and in the classroom.
