Greg also mentioned that maybe we're waiting on a graduating QB.

 

Any idea who that mgiht be?

 

Oklahoma's Drew Allen would be one possibility.

Oklahoma QB Drew Allen considering transfer

Oklahoma quarterback Drew Allen, with one year of eligibility left, is exploring his options as he considers a transfer to a new school.

 

"I have a permission to contact form that allows me to look around, talk to other schools," tweeted Allen on Friday. "Doesn't mean I am transferring yet."

 

Even with Landry Jones graduating and moving on to the NFL, Allen does not see a lot of playing time for himself with the Sooners as Blake Bell, junior next season, took over the role of Jones' backup in 2012. There's also redshirt freshman quarterback Trevor Knight, who impressed coaches while running the scout team this season that could stand between Allen and the field.

 

Allen is scheduled to graduate in May. Should he decide to transfer, he would not have to sit out a year.

 

He did not play in 2012 but saw action during his freshman and sophomore seasons. Allen threw 30 passes in those two seasons, completing 18 for 160 yards. He also had five rushes for 17 yards and his only career touchdown.

Man what a buzz kill. Got my hopes up and then dashed all in one sitting.

I wasn't sure where to put this post.  

 

It sounds like getting a second RB isn't going to be too difficult.  If GA is correct, we have a couple of pretty good RBs waiting for an offer which apparently is waiting on JoJo.  Getting a second QB is a different deal.  Not hearing too many rumblings on that position.

RT @Mengus22: I've heard USF as a possible landing spot. RT @PMARSHONAU: Blakely no longer on Auburn football team

Going to need some confirmation on this.......

Former Auburn RB Mike Blakely is headed to USF per Rivals.

His second transfer? Gators -> Auburn -> USF? Not a great sign... hope it works out here.

 AUBURN, Alabama – Tailback Mike Blakely is no longer a member of the Auburn football team. 

 

Blakely played sparingly last season, but was Auburn's third-leading rusher, gaining 153 yards on 33 carries. He had carries in only two of Auburn's eight SEC games, and didn't have a carry the final four league games.

 

He played as a redshirt freshman last year after sitting out the 2011 season after transferring from Florida.

 

Tre Mason will return for his junior season after rushing for a 1,000 yards last year, but Blakely's departure, along with the departure of senior Onterio McCalebb, has Auburn looking to replenish its running back crops this recruiting season. Carmeron Artis-Payne, a junior college transfer, is already in school and will participate in spring practice. The Tigers are also recruiting running backs in Johnathan Ford, Tarean Folston and Cornelius Elder.

So he went from FL to Auburn now possibly to USF?

VELLLLY INTERESTING  Looks like he wants some carries

Blakely has issues with pro style offense. He left Florida because if that and Auburn also started running pro style
