    LaTech Current FB Recruiting

    Is there a thread on recruiting? Or can we talk about who Tech's official recruiting Twitter account is reporting?

    Tech's Twitter account for recruiting is https://twitter.com/LATechFBRecruit.

    Of note:

    Gunslinger, "pro style" QB out of Dallas/Lake Highlands HS, Jakson Thomson. I'm stoked about this young man. 6'3", 200. He's got wheels, a great arm. Excited to have him in the Tech family.

    Planning to win games 15-28. Since our coach counts by number of scoring drives and not value of scoring drives.

    Jakson Thomson's stats for his senior year were as follows:

    134/212 for 2,000 yards (in 9 games)
    21
    TD Passes
    3
    INT's

    Jakson Thomson produced these stats in only 9 games. Apparently he missed the Week 6 loss to Duncanville (76-0) and the Week 7 win at WT White (55-22) with an injury. The game summary for the Duncanville game said "Lake Highlands (2-4, 1-2) played without standout quarterback Jakson Thomson, who was injured in the first quarter of Lake Highlands' 34-20 win over Richardson Berkner on Oct. 4."

    For the season, his Lake Highlands team finished 3rd in District 8, of Class 6A, with a 6-5 overall record, 5-2 in their district.

    On the downside, his team lost to Duncanville 76-0, in week 5 of the football season, without him. (Duncanville is 13-0 this year, ranked #1 in Class 6A, and is scheduled to play defending state champion Allen (14-0) this Saturday in the Class 6A state semi finals.) Jakson's team also lost 45-35 to Lake Ridge (Mansfield, TX) in the 1st round of the state playoffs. That game had a frantic finish, as Jakson and Lake Highlands scored the final 21 points of the game in the 4th quarter.

    Looks like a good prospect.

    Looks like he picked us over Syracuse, who has no QB in this class. That sounds good.

    Riddle me this: Why are we giving two scholarships to kickers? Why would two premier kickers sign with the same team? One has to sit down, at least part of the time. I would want to be the MAN as a kicker, not just part-time if I was that highly rated.

    That would make sense to Tech, but I am still puzzled why either would want to give up place kicking.

    They both only have 2 offers listed. Boniol had Army and Barnes had USM.

    According to 24/7 - Army has 3 Kickers on their roster - all currently Fresh, Soph & Junior. USM currently has a Sophomore Kicker and commit for this year.

    I'm sure scholarships are not easy to come by for Kickers, so it's walk on somewhere and pay your way or get a scholarship and try to win the position.

    Hopefully Chris's brother can kick a field goal as well.

    I asked the same thing. Someone confirmed with me that one is cmong in to punt, the other to kick. Actaully, both can do both. I can't rememebr who will be doing what for Tech. I imagine the FG kicker will redhsirt and the punter will punt next year.... according to our current roster.

    That had to be the thought process behind it.
