Conner Fohn - Carroll Receiver Transfers to MT

[Ursus1]

Correct, per NCAA rules, he has to sit this up-coming season at MONTANA.

He was mentioned as a (wide receiver) burner. He could get behind some CBs in the NAIA. However he has safety speed (11.4 to 11.6) in the FCS. Which is still really good. Looks like a good athlete.

He does carry his pads well seeing him live at Carroll ....as in speed in pads is still very good unlike many "sprinters" who don't. No clue if will good enough to pan out, but we'll worth a shot.

Fohn graduated HS in 2015. He then had a 5 years to plays 4 seasons, once he enrolled full-time in college...which he did in the fall of 2015. He played in 2015, 2016 and 2017, but Carroll pulled him after a couple games one year, so only two seasons counted against his eligibility. He still has two years to of eligibility if he were to stay at Carroll. But he loses one of those two seasons (Junior) due to sitting at Montana in 2018. He will be eligible to play his SR season in the fall of 2019. (If I am correct)

I was just talking straight line speed, which pads have nothing to do with.

But lateral quickness/change of direction is something that requires different measuring (3-cone drill, 20 yard shuttle, ect).

He is definitely worth a shot. He looks really good. :clap:

That seems so unfair that a person has to lose a year of eilgibility on merely transferring from an NAIA, and for that matter NCAA Division II, to an NCAA Division I program. I mean, who the hell is being put out by such a transfer occurrence? Vocational pursuit is the reason for the scholastic participation, it's maintained by an expansion of academics as well as gymnastic excellence, for those willing to participate. This going back at least a couple thousand years on the academic/gymnasium scheme. To tend towards the upward mobility upon such pursuits should be patronized, not condemned.

If he had graduated and attends UM as a graduate student in a field not offered by Carroll, he would not have to sit out (if I am correct). And it's a waste of time to consider what is fair with regards to the NCAA.

Ain't that the truth.
