Hey guys,
I've always like Cornell Tarrant. I know he isn't proven or anything, but it seems like every time he gets the ball he makes a lot of really big plays. I can only base this off of what I've seen at 2 marron and white games and also from his very limited playing time last season.
He's very balanced. I think he's very close to Goodsons speed and also a little stronger? I know you can't really know much about someone who doesn't see much playing time, but I hope he will be 2nd string this year. I like him over our younger guys and also he's way better than Smith. Smith appears to be a very hard worker and I think that is why the coaches like him so much.

I got Cornell Tarrant's autograph at the signing session this past weekend. There was no line at his table and he seemed a bit bored. I jokingly said, "Hey, this is the future right here, right?" He smiled real big and got pretty excited while exclaiming, "If God is willing. I'm working hard ya know." Then he put out his hand which was nice. I don't care about autographs. I just wanted to see my team up close and interact a bit. That was nice to see a positive and sincere reaction. Then of course he had a great M&W game following. I also said something simular to "the future right here" to the young linemen at the end of the defensive side of the signing tables. 3 big guys sounded out, "Hell yeah!". I thought it was great to get to talk with some players almost one on one, and I had a fun time.
In any case, I know you have strong opinions on who should play and who should be used when. I just wanted to see what you all think about Tarrant as 2nd string.
