Looking back, fournette and cam rob were the only players from in state to live up to the hype. Ironic that they are teammates now.



Well, I wouldn't say that.

Speedy Noil couldn't leave the drugs alone and fly right, but had he, he would have likely been a 1000 yard WR at TAMU.

Malachi had a great first two years, doing better than any other WR had done as a freshman and sophomore combined since Clayton. For some reason, he just couldn't put it all together in his final

Trey Quinn left after a year, but resurfaced at SMU to catch over 100 passes, go over 1000 yards, and score more than 10 TDs in one year. And if people say it was just because he played weak teams, tell that to Courtland Sutton, who is on the same team, and is about to be drafted in the top 10-15 most likely.

Garrett Brumfield was our best or 2nd best OL this year depending on who you ask, and will be a monster for us next year.

Davon Godchaux started 3 years for us (including as a true freshman). Finished his final year with 62 tackles, 8.5 TFL, 6.5 sacks, and 2 fumble recoveries. He was only drafted in the 5th round (I think another year of production would have put him in 3rd or better), yet he started for the Dolphins this year.

Will Clapp was a freshman All American, and will be our best or 2nd best OL next year. He was part of the interior that rated as PFF's best. He needs to be at guard at all times IMO.

Darrell Williams finished his career breaking a record, and had 1150 yards and 9 TDs from scrimmage as the backup.

I still can't blame Harris or any QB who came here from high school. Miles was cancer to QBs, one of his biggest flaws. Statistically, Harris in 2015 was as good as Mett was in 2012, and was better than Etling was last year (2016). Harris, Mett, and Etling had a problem with WRs dropping so many passes, a problem that was a lot worse here, than at most other schools (I'm guessing the constant switching of WR coaches, OCs, and less and less emphasis on the pass game led to it).

On your list, speedy, dupre, and Quinn were the only ones that were really hyped up. The others were solid players but did not receive the attention and accolades this three plus LF7 and Robinson. You could add Gerald Willis to the list of underachievers.
