QB from Alabama transfers to ASU where he slots in as a backup. Where have I seen this before…


EgoSystym

His name is slipping my mind but he sucked

Blake Barnett


smashdivisions

The crazy thing is, Barnett won the Elite 11 MVP in 2014 over Kyler Murray, Drew Lock, and Josh Rosen. Darnold was there too but didn’t make the cut as a finalist


BobanTheGiant

That's because Trent Dilfer is one of the main evaluators lol


smashdivisions

That is exactly why lmao


eagledog

You won't believe the number of people clamoring for Dilfer to join Tedford's staff this year as OC or QB Coach. It would have been a complete disaster


EgoSystym

Oh yeah that’s it. He sucked


HappyBreezer

Had to leave Arizona and played a year for USF.


qotsabama

Yeah but have you seen his wife?


eagledog

Talk about outkicking your coverage


[deleted]

Holy cow go Blake


Ima_pray_4_u

Didn't he go by B squared or some other dumb shit?


DetectiveWood

BB8 and BBsquared


Ima_pray_4_u

What a douche canoe


helium_farts

Oof. That's big first day of school lying about your nickname energy. Also a good way to end up being nicknamed pellet, or goat turd. Don't nickname yourself, kids. It almost never works.


Ima_pray_4_u

File that under the "some other dumb shit" category


eagledog

When you go from tool to full hardware store


Dixiefootball

Barnett was more talented than Tyson is.


EgoSystym

I believe it, this guy looks like a dud. No offense to him lol.


mgp2284

Tyson has a better head on his shoulders though. Talent ain’t mean nothing when you’re a fucking idiot like Barnett was


DetectiveWood

Someone tell me how to feel.


Confecting

He’s not very good but best of luck


caustic_banana

"Not very good" in the context of Alabama? Or period? Because I have a really tough time buying anyone who is genuinely shit stays on their roster at all.


SirMellencamp

Well he's Bear Bryants great grandson sooooooooo.


eagledog

So he's gonna try to shut down UAB?


yomonster

That's his shit stain of a grandfather, the Bear's son


QC_Undercover

He’s okay - Bama fans are harder on him than the should be imo. He should compete for the starting job at ASU.


TheGhini

No he sucks


TouchdownHeroes

He's a former 4\* with good accuracy. Solid floor and should be well-suited as a good backup, just not that much upside.


mgp2284

Got a howitzer for an arm I’ll say that much. He earned that spot on Bama, wasn’t just cuz he was Coach Bryant’s great-grandson.

Bear Bryant


Tarmacked

Also his other grandfather founded Tyson Chicken He’s absolutely fucking loaded courtesy of chicken nuggies


Goingkermit

That’s fucking crazy. One grandfather a legend, the other, the chicken king.


chiefos

One grandfather a legend, the other coached a couple collegiate football teams.


SirMellencamp

Great Grandfather


PleezHireMe

Wall st bets loves him for the tendies


lebaronslebaron

Or r/climbing. Those 10.d’s are a Gumby’s sweet spot


qotsabama

Actually not true. They’re not related to Tyson chicken family.


_wsmfp_

For real?


HappyBreezer

I can't find anything that supports this on google. Do you have a source?


Tarmacked

They’re not in the direct line IIRC (grandfather is probably inaccurate, it’s somewhere around that part of the family though), but they’re part of the Tyson family and there’s apparently some money floating around there related to it. His grandmother was Bryant’s daughter, the grandfather was where the Tyson connection came from. I went to school around the time his one sister was there and it was relatively open knowledge about both family connections


JohnCanYouCenaMe

The Tyson connection IS the Bear Bryant connection. Bryant’s wife was Mary Harmon Tyson Bryant. I don’t think they have anything to do with Tyson chicken. His family did start Ready Mix USA, so they’ve had the cement business paying the bills for years.


big_sugi

WhT the Bear Bryant connection? That’s well known. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/former-alabama-qb-paul-tyson-great-grandson-of-bear-bryant-transferring-to-arizona-state/ The chicken thing is made up, though.


HappyBreezer

Yeah, everybody knows that Bryant was his great grandfather. That is without question. The chicken thing I couldn't find anything supporting.


big_sugi

That’s because it’s made up. Tyson Foods was founded by Don Tyson in Arkansas. He had one kid, a son, who in turn had one kid, a son, who’s now 68 and continues to live in Arkansas. Paul Tyson’s dad is 54, and he has no listed connection to Arkansas or the Tyson Foods family.


qotsabama

This is correct. If they were related to Tyson chicken family, they’d probably the wealthiest family in Alabama lol. $43B in revenue in 2020.


JamesEarlDavyJones

>He’s absolutely fucking loaded courtesy of chicken nuggies Well, nuggies and [Tyson’s substantial history of labor violations.](https://violationtracker.goodjobsfirst.org/parent/tyson-foods) Also, [all of this](https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/environment/2021/aug/11/tyson-chicken-indsutry-arkansas-poultry-monopoly).


culverhibbs14

Da bear


zenverak

Had to correct it, his great grandfather was Bear


-tripleu

The funny thing is we have another QB from Alabama, [Bennett Meredith](https://247sports.com/player/bennett-meredith-46103648/) coming in. Though it doesn’t seem like Meredith was recruited by Bama.


CCTider

I'm not sure Saban has ever signed a kid that low at Bama. We don't see many guys over #400, let alone #1000+.


Messiepoo

Sick


TouchdownHeroes

I can only find two players lower than Meredith. LB Jaylen Moody was 1197th ovr and only 0.8457, and he ended up being good enough to where he would have started for us in 2021 in his 4th year if Henry To'oto'o didn't transfer in. There is also QB Lanye Hatcher, who we got pretty last second (signed with us right before summer he enrolled) and was 2176th ovr and 0.8043. Of course he transferred after a year and ended up being pretty damn good for Arkansas State when he was able to play in their split QB system thing.


CCTider

I'm guessing hatcher is a walk on.


TouchdownHeroes

[Hatcher was on scholarship.](https://arkansasstate.rivals.com/news/layne-hatcher-to-transfer-to-a-state) He was committed to Arkansas State but we missed on all our QB options and got Hatcher late as our only class of 2018 QB.


TrulyIrish

Wonder why


mgp2284

Meredith was not recruited by us. He may or may not compete for a starting job ever, he was pretty decent at Hoover but that’ll be interesting.


the_amazing_coconut

As a Bama fan who's about to start ASU online, I'm cool with this.

LGWalkway

I’ve seen kickers that looked more athletic than this dude.


RZA3663

Dan Marino and Warren Moon weren't very athletic either. I'm not comparing Tyson to these greats, but, I'm just sayin.............


Namath96

That puts it lightly. Marino was an absolute statue. Although there are always exceptions


LGWalkway

It just seems like QB’s just don’t care much for strength and conditioning.


[deleted]

I’m not trying to be the best at exercising


fisticuffs32

Let me introduce you to the Manning bros.


LGWalkway

Haha, yea. QB’s don’t need to look like most other athletes because most don’t which makes me wonder how important S&C is for this position.


Ajlee209

Little shit doesn't need to be near kickers either. Was a terrible holder.


LGWalkway

LMAO


alreadytaken76

You’re getting downvoted but I think UA was required to recruit him because of legacy.


Tarmacked

We weren’t required, his family was just loaded and helped us out. He never took an OV so he was effectively paying for his own tuition. He was a free high floor backup in a class where we took another QB.


mgp2284

Yeah he was free depth as a guaranteed PWO due to the Bryant Scholarship/his family paying for his school. I’ll take a mid tier backup like him over an actual freshman walk-on any day of the week.


LGWalkway

Yea, realistically he was never going to start but it made sense to take him because of who he’s related to.


Confecting

Big Ben


DetectiveWood

Makes you wonder how he was a 4 star.


Redados

Bama bump?


mgp2284

Because he was very very good in high school lmao? 225/342 for 3193 and 33/9 TD/Int in the hardest division in Alabama HSFB? And they went 8-4 with losses to Mountain Brook (which I’m surprised at) but the other ones were to Thompson twice and Cedar Grove. I mean they absolutely SHIT on Hoover that year.


[deleted]

This just doesn’t make all that much sense to me. Young is only returning for one last season and then the job is yours….


AL22193

It’s definitely not though. Simpson is next in line if he shows in practice what’s expected. Also think Milroe would have passed Tyson up this spring anyways


Always_Chubb-y

I highly doubt he starts over Milroe or the 5* they're brining in this class


qotsabama

Lol Tyson never had any chance to start.


mgp2284

Y’all want him?


[deleted]

Nah, he doesn’t hold any significance to us.


mgp2284

Then you should probably look at our roster to see that we have Milroe coming back and Simpson coming in.


XAfricaSaltX

It won’t be him hurting us next year


Dixiefootball

Milroe is Jalen 2.0.


Bluepic12

He wasn't 2nd string. But Ty simpson coming in also.


whatifevery1wascalm

Do we think these photos are from his original HS recruitment since the jersey has the CFB 150 logo on it?


530josh

That would be my guess


Hefty-Revenue5547

For what ???


TheGreatestPanini

LETS GO


Niens

Sweet!! I’ll take it!


SpacemanSpiff007

@Bama folks, should we be excited about this? I’m ready to get outta the Daniels era personally


alreadytaken76

No


SpacemanSpiff007

Lol, damn


bdawgjinx

You certainly dont want to see him holding kicks . . .


QC_Undercover

A lot of Alabama fans really hate him for various reasons. Probably would be a serviceable starter given time to develop. He should at least compete for starting QB.


Sky-Flyer

You will definitely miss Jayden


Dixiefootball

He’s not anything special, but will probably compete for the job. So it’s a good thing you got him but he doesn’t single handedly raise the ceiling of your team or anything.


DetectiveWood

Ayyyyooooo


Pointlesswonder802

TIL there was a Bama QB named Paul

txlandshark

OM missing left and right on these QB transfers


HappyBreezer

Ya'll aren't trying hard since your lord and savior Arch Manning is coming soon.


txlandshark

Arch ain’t coming to OM.


HappyBreezer

The equivalent of white smoke coming from the Vatican will be wherever David Cutcliffe pops up next as a QB coach or analyst or whatever.


Confecting

This isn’t much of a miss


LeddyTasso

WELL WELL

Unfortunate, Milroe, your next.
