This is great news. This was probley my biggist wish for any one player this offseason. With the lost of Smothers, Crist, and Lewis to graduation; we could not afford to lose the best of the bunch in Sampy. Although we have 3 talented receivers with great size in RS sophmores Jackson, Givens, and Robbins; they are still inexperinced at this point. We also have a JC receiver coming in which will help early on. I believe by the time conference rolls around the receiving core will be a strengh to this team.

Awesome! Couldn't be happier...great news.

Hopefully someone else will step up to be a playmaker such as Sampy.

How is that? Robbins and Givens both played this past season (Givens 3 catches, and Robbins 1) so both should be sophomore's next season. Eddie Brown was the only receiver I know of that redshirted this past season.

They will both be sophmores...Givens played a little bit more but robbins had his catch i believe in the Idaho game.

I forgot about Eddie Brown. This guy orginally signed with O.K. St. 2 years ago and was rated a 3 star WR by rivals.com. I believe he never enrolled at O.K. St. and signed with us last year and indeed did RS last year. So he should be a RS Freshman. Another big and talented WR.

Sampy must pass his classes this semester, which he is and a few in the Summer!

Great young man,

I stand corrected. I was thinking about Eddie Brown, not Robbins. Sorry!

The guy in your post (displayed photo) is the guy who needs to be catching footballs---D Mitchell would be the greatest TE or slot, or WR there could be.

I was thinking the same thing just the other day; "D Mitchell maybe playing football next year". If he does not receive another year of eligibility to play basketball, and if he plans on staying in school, he should still have a year to play football. I have heard he was a pretty good player in high school. With his size, quickness, and jumping ability he would make a tremendous pass catching tightend. That is if he can catch. Its been a few years now, but some may remember Chris Snowden played basketball and then 1 year of football. They have similar build with Mitchell being a little bigger. Just a thought.
