    Ensminger transferring to Louisiana Tech




    By Staff Reports
    Inside the Auburn Tigers
    Posted Sep 4, 2007



    Redshirt freshman quarterback Steven Ensminger has decided to leave the Auburn football program and the university.


    Auburn, Ala.--Tommy Tuberville announced on Tuesday that backup quarterback Steven Ensminger has decided to transfer to Louisiana Tech.

    “Steven Ensminger is transferring as of today,” Tuberville said. “He will enroll in school there (at Louisiana Tech). I think they are on the quarter system. I talked with Steven, and of course his dad, and I have been close to them for a long time and he feels like his opportunity is there with the offense they run and what they have at quarterback will give him the opportunity to possibly play sooner. I tried to talk him out of it. This is his decision, his life.

    Ensminger’s father, Steve Ensminger, is the tight ends coach at Auburn. Steven played his sophomore and senior years of high school at West Monroe, La., High School before enrolling at Auburn in the fall of 2006 and redshirting last season.

    “His parents, they’ve talked to him and they wished he would stay,” Tuberville noted. “It’s one of those things when a kid wants to make a decision for his future and give him enough rope, so he’s leaving as of today (Tuesday). We hate to see him go, but we wish him the best and he’ll do well.”

    Ensminger competed for the backup quarterback position behind Brandon Cox, but was beat out by Blake Field in preseason practices. He also had to compete with freshmen Neil Caudle and Kodi Burns for reps and playing time.

    Awesome! We need some help at QB. If he sits this season/year out is he eligible next season?

    Good to hear. Competition is always a good thing.

    Though, I gotta say, I watched Ensminger at WM. And I've watched a lot of Randall Mackey. If we land Mackey, I'm pretty sure he could beat out Ensminger pretty handily.

    Ensminger is much better than Champion, however.

    So, basically, we're getting the 3rd string quarterback from Auburn? Don't color me excited.

    Also, what about this quote from Tuberville.

    “His parents, they’ve talked to him and they wished he would stay,” Tuberville noted. “It’s one of those things when a kid wants to make a decision for his future and give him enough rope, so he’s leaving as of today (Tuesday)."

    Is he saying that he's committing career suicide by coming to Tech? I was an Auburn and Tuberville fan until I read that comment.

    Not likely... you have to be enrolled in classes, and even though he would have until thursday or Friday, I believe Auburn has already started classes, so he would have to sit out this year... Unless rules are different since he's a redshirt?

    ya know, the list grows longer and longer of kids that left the area, dreaming of bigger and better things, only to return to this area. I know of another guy that is wishing he would have stayed at home right now. By the time they realize whats best for them, they wind up wasting 1-3 years somewhere else.

    Hmm. So you are saying that Jack Bicknell III is coaching Auburn now and that seniority counts?

    He's 3rd string because he was beaten out for the back-up spot. The fact is he had a year to learn the system, get stronger and get up to the college speed, so it's not like he was walking in and competing right out of high school. There are many redshirt freshmen that win backup jobs as well as starting jobs at other schools.

    I think Auburn uses the quarter system also.
