Justin Brent 2016

[ZORO50]

Does anyone know where they think he will play next year?
Obviously, he looked good in the spring game at wideout but next year you will see Hunter. St Brown/Robinson and CJ Sanders. We will be straight up awesome again at receiver.
Will we see him at running back with Adams and Dexter Williams or could he be moved to strong safety?
He's a big physical kid and would probably be a type of guy that would be a huge asset hitting people on defense.
Would you look at him at linebacker or safety? I would love to see Brent playing safety next year.
Thoughts?

asking where Brent will 'play' is a very open- ended question. So far, 'the field'.

 

[hvillebill]

I don't see him moving to RB. You only show Adams and Williams as being the other two returning backs.

Prosise and Folston both have a year of eligibility remaining. Folston will be back for sure. We'll have to wait and see on C.J., but I'm betting he'll be back as well since this is his first year at RB. Another year will better prepare his abilities for the NFL.

Folston has two years left because he gets a medical redshirt.

Justin Brent brought great unwanted embarrassment to Our Lady's University last year. Imagine, allowing himself to be seen in public at a Knicks game

^ and the rest of the story?

 

[Pennick4]

Will be surprised if he is on the team next year.

 

[IllinoisIrish]

Him and Corey Holmes are yet to really do anything. Will they be back next year? Robinson, Hunter Jr. and maybe St. Brown will surely be in front of them, but they should be able to battle out for the WR3 spot. This is all assuming that Fuller leaves, which I'm hoping that he is not.

Experience should have taught us that you can't plan ahead based on guesses. We need a minimum of 4 ready to contribute RB's going into next season. Brent has trained at the position this entire season and has taken his red shirt year. Aside from his youthful, public indiscretions (LOL), the young man has the athleticism and talent to be a contributor and knows the system... which is a big plus.

 

[Mheezyfosheezy3]

I'd put him at Safety to get his athleticism on the field. RB and WR just too crowded right now.

 

[HRC08]

Can he play defense? RB and WR will be loaded next year.

RB is crowded? WTF.

 

[NDCap]

IF Fuller goes Pro . IMO he stays. Brent should go back to WR. Need a physical presence..

There is no way Fuller turns down potentially 15 million guaranteed dollars.

 

[Granite45]

next year you will see Hunter. St Brown/Robinson and CJ Sanders. We will be straight up awesome again at receiver.

Do you believe Fuller is leaving?

I agree I don't see him turning down a R1 grade but there is no way his first contract is 4yr/$15mill+... to get that he would need to be drafted around 8 or 9.

I thought he red shirted last year. He's not playing this year because he's either not good enough, doesn't practice well, or is in the dog house still.

He was on special teams all year last year
