I don't know that Huntley Johnson specializes in this sort of thing - his forte seems to be getting guys out of trouble locally. I did hear that Grier can go to a Division 2 school & play immediately. Not sure if that's true. On Mon, Nov 30, 2015 at 10:19 AM, John Vega wrote:

I think Zeb is right regarding OL. Treon is far more mobile and McElwain might need to see if mobility is going to be a factor until the OL is shored up. Also, as someone else mentioned here, Treon's not really the "starter" as much as he's the first guy to go out with the first-team offense.
