New QB on campus from Last Chance U?

[CadaverDawg]

Wyatt Roberts.

Anybody know anything about the guy? Not a bad grab for some depth after losing Staley it seems. Although I know nothing about the guy. EMCC usually has good QB's though.

[msbulldog]

He's from Louisville, I think. We offered him preferred walk-on, he went to Scooba instead and yes he is supposed to be enrolled.

[BrunswickDawg]

So now our 4th string QB beat out the leading contender to start at Auburn? 😂

[Dawg-gone-dawgs]

Ain't Auburn going after Stidham(Baylor transfer)...I going to laugh my ass off if they get him and Franklin has to work again to get the job

Stidham is going where Briles goes next year. That may be Auburn or it may not.

Well he said on the show that he wasn't going to play anymore. That he was retiring. He did seem to be a good player though. Turned down a scholarship offer from MC. Seemed frustrated that he played behind Kelly who now starts at ole miss and then beat out Franklin who got an auburn scholarship. Just said he would rather hang it up

[msbulldog]

Just glad Wyatt is one of ours, he seemed like a good guy.

Looks like he's changed his mind.

Seems like he would be a great scout team guy and emergency 4th stringer. Glad to have him.

I don't see it as him changing his mind. In the show, he stated that he wasn't going to ask MSU to be on the football team. He said MSU would have to reach out to him because he felt he was good enough.

With Staley transferring and the possibility of another QB transferring, it would have been smart of Mullen to reach out to Roberts in an effort to get a player out there that could function in an emergency.

Yep after looking into. It does seem that he has joined the team. That's great

My brother lives in Louisville and he's been telling me about this kid for awhile. He told me he will win wherever he goes. It's the same thing we've all seen before. The guy makes plays and wins ballgames but he doesn't have the measurables that everyone is looking for. He's been listed as 6'-0" but I don't think he's that tall. Someone from Louisville could probably tell us some more about him.

[BeastMan]

He was on campus anyway. He just decided to play football and I'm sure the coaches are fine with it after the Staley transfer. Good kid who is a gamer but he's a scout team guy at best. He's a good addition to the QB group in the film room and on the practice field.

[RiverCityDawg]

In the show, he stated that he wasn't going to ask MSU to be on the football team. He said MSU would have to reach out to him because he felt he was good enough.

I don't remember that at all. I remember him saying he would just be a regular student and play intramurals.

[Interpolation_Dawg_EX]

If you listened to Head2Head last week, Matt Wyatt speculated this could happen. Glad it worked out for everyone.

[LC Dawg]

Did Roberts take Staley's scholarship or is he walking on?

I could be wrong but I seriously doubt we will have Roberts on scholarship

That's what I thought but the timing of this right after Staley left had me curious. I actually wouldn't mind him being on scholarship just because it's nice seeing guys get rewarded for working hard and winning but I know he's probably not going to contribute to us on the field. He'd be a nice quarterback for Croom era football though.

[It_Could_Happen]

All I've ever heard about the kid is he's a winner. Saw it in high school and in the documentary. Hell give the kid some reps at practice and see what happens.

On the show he said he wanted to play, but the coaches and university showed no interest. So he said if they didn't want him he would just hang it up. He didn't want to play anywhere else. He had even asked to walk on previously and was not given any return interest from us. Sounds like the kid just wanted to be at Ms State no matter what, even if it meant giving up football.

What's it hurt to put him on scholarship since we have atleast six open ones right now. He can help us recruit EMCC.
