He will be RB 1 right away. He'll get a ton of carries. ULM will have a pretty scrappy team this year.

Roosevelt Potts, Greg Robinson, and Irving Spikes all started at RB in the NFL and played at NLU along with WRs Vincent Brisby, Jackie Harris, Marty Booker and Stepfret Williams. Moving to 1-A was a stupid move by NLU and their talent level has been limited the last 20 years. Those early 90s NLU teams would have given a bad LSU team from then fits.


Joe Profit was another NLU RB that played a few years in the NFL. Drafted by the Atlanta Falcons. My dad blocked for him in college.

can't forget Joe Delaney who was a rising star in the KC Chiefs’ organization. Delaney had a dominant rookie season with 234 carries for 1,121 yards and three rushing scores. He earned AFC Rookie of the Year honors and a trip to the Pro Bowl.

Following the 1982 NFL season, the 24-year-old Delaney returned back to his hometown of Haughton, Louisiana for the offseason. On June 29th, 1983, Delaney would travel to Monroe, Louisiana where his selflessness would help save a life, but also cost him his own.

Delaney came upon three children screaming for help in a man-made pond in Chenault Park. Delaney couldn’t swim well himself, but he still rushed to action. He dove into the pond in an attempt to save the three children. He was able to rescue one child, another child was taken to an emergency room where they later perished.

Delaney and a third child would not survive the incident. Every year on June 29, family, friends, and Chiefs' fans take some time to remember Delaney’s heroism and selflessness. He didn’t know the children he sought to rescue, but he knew they were in trouble and that he couldn’t stand by without making an attempt to help. RIP Joe


regarding Ford to ULM, smart decision from a CFB career and financial standpoint. ... The Warhawks have a solid OL for 2025, as I can see Ford putting up the following numbers: 200 carries for 1,100 yds. If that proves true, other schools will be offering him nice NIL deals. Hardy was only on campus for 4 months (Aug - Dec) before entering the TPO and committing to Missouri.

And I never pass up the opportunity to post this classic rumble. (Is that Stacy Keach narrating?)

Delaney went to Northwestern St when Mark Duper was there. They won the national title in track I believe. I clearly remember his passing.

I just looked at ulm roster and they have a 4 star dl they recruited last year and a transfer rb who is also a 4 star athlete. Many 3 star recruits and portal guys from bigger schools transferring in. They also lost some good talent in the portal including a rb to the portal to Missouri. I didn’t realize the talent level that their new coach has brought in.



Does NOT check out.

I think this is a new strategy

He said he wanted to go and play as a freshman then transfer like the Boise st kid did

That’s his thoughts
