Logan Smothers Transferring to Jacksonville State (Alabama)
- Thread starter Red Reign
- Start date
Good for him. Could be a great fit in a Rich Rod offense. Will be pulling for the kid.
Close to home and will likely give him a great chance to play.
Again, I hope to see him back as a Grad assistant someday, though that seems unlikely since he didn't spend much time on campus since Rhule's hiring.
Good luck to the young man.
This is bad news, as I was really hoping that Smothers would decide to return. Our quarterback room is a big concern. I was a fan of Casey Thompson and view his decision to transfer as a huge loss. Jeff Sims may be more athletic but his passing is more inconsistent. (Casey was pretty accurate when he had time to throw.) And if Sims goes down, I'm not sure we have a competent backup. Purdy did not inspire confidence last year, and Haarberg is unproven. I don't know enough about Woche to know what he can do, but at the very least he is also unproven. Hopefully, Purdy, Haarberg and Woche will surprise me if they are needed.
Last year I had a sinking feeling when Nouili was declared ineligible because I knew that was a big loss at a position group that was already thin. And that sinking feeling turned out to be completely justified. I have the same feeling now. I really hope I'm wrong.

Coach Ruhle does not think it's a bug concern
He said Purdy made a big jump forward the last few weeks of Spring ball
Keeping in mind Purdy was never 100% healthy last year
Anyway this thread is about Smothers
Wish him the very best
Good luck Logan. Jax St is a very good mid major. National Title contender at that level. Sucks he did not stay
Yup moving into FBS as a member of Conference USA this coming season
I can see a Rich Rodriguez coached offense being a really good fit for Logan. I wish him the best of luck and much success.
Purdy also missed most of Spring Ball recovering from injury.. so one would infer that more time would have shown more improvement & mastery of new offense.

I thought the same. I like Smothers mobility and think he'll do well at Jax State.
Hate to see him go! Hoped he would return. Wished he would have had better coaching and development. This is one area where previous staff really failed

I think he'll do well there. Best of luck to him.
