Echeverry gets mini camp invite with Tampa Bay Bucs

Mount released a "new" logo for athletics today. Yawn.

Screams of consultants getting paid for consulting and that is about it.

Quote from: Dr. Acula on April 07, 2025, 04:02:17 PMWray was a stud.  Aside from being a gifted runner he was also one of the best pass catchers at the position over the modern era.

If I am not mistaken, Justin transferred to Geneva and set several school records there.

Justin Wray has the total offense per play average of any non-QB in Mount history.

Wild, but true, stat that puts his abilities (and that roster) into perspective.

Quote from: WRMUalum13 on April 07, 2025, 11:39:28 AM4.49 at a pro day is legit. Might make him the fastest Mount Union RB ever.

Very legit. Bet it helps him get looks, along with the tape he put down in 2024.

As for fastest ever...I think Justin Wray would've been faster had he been timed. He could absolutely fly. Talk about the wrong time to be behind the wrong guy in the depth chart. Wray could've been an all-timer if Kmic wasn't in front of him.

Tyler Echeverry and Rossy Moore participated in Toledo's Pro Day yesterday. No luck finding any results though. Hope it went well!

Other OACers appearing at Toledo's Pro Day:
- Randy Cochran (CB) and Vincent Fisher (CB) from Otterbein
- Keyshawn Cunningham (CB) from Heidelberg
- Chance Knight (DL) from Marietta

Nice article about Echeverry's draft preparation. If he gets to 4.3 at the pro day, he might get a look

Quote from: Dr. Acula on February 26, 2025, 10:40:18 PMThe career rushing and scoring leader at West Branch, son of a Mount alum, is going to BW.  Upheaval.  A Dumb and Dumber "our pets heads are falling off" moment.  He even thanked Echeverry in his commitment post.  Good luck to him 9 weeks a year.

Path of least resistance to being a "star." Typical West Branch stuff.

"Gavin Ehrhardt LB Avon, OH (U Cinci Baseball)"

This one surprises me. He was a big time dude in the Ohio High School baseball scene a few years ago.

To not only give up on Cincy but on the sport entirely is surprising.

Sirianni joined what at minimum could be described as an all-time staff at the Division III level. Candle was still the receivers coach and would later be the offensive coordinator.  Vince Kehres – Larry's son who would take over as head coach from 2013-19 – coached the offensive line. Matt Campbell – another former Mount Union star who is now the head coach at Iowa State – and Sirianni were on the defensive side.

Truly mind blowing to have that staff with a team that featured Kmic, Micheli, Garcon, etc.

Here's a little look at some workouts from Mount's new QB1:

Wayne Ruby had a tryout with the Browns today.

Somewhere in there, there is a joke about him being the 4th Purple Raider to consider joining a lesser program, along with the 3 Heidelberg guys.

Mount Union players that have entered the portal and recieved "offers" from Heidelberg:

Emmett Smith (RB), Mike Evans (DT), and Cedric Diggs (DL)

Quote from: D3fanboy on January 28, 2025, 08:24:17 AMcongrats to former Mount LB Matt Rees on being named Head Coach at his alma mater, Dover.  Interesting to note that one of Mount's current assistant coaches was a finalist for the job as well, a really tall assistant

Saw this in the news, awesome to hear for Matt! Will never forget his blocked punt return for TD in the Stagg. One of the more underrated players in that golden era.

Quote from: Desertraider on January 17, 2025, 10:19:32 AMJust from Mount - Borchert, Kmic, and Burke. What about on the defensive side of the ball? Hall?

Nick Driskill could be a fit to get in on the defensive side? Unreal career and multiple national awards across two years.

Matt Campbell maybe as well, but would be more of a lifetime achievement things than just his play at Mount Union.

Saw where former Purple Raider defensive stalwart, Jonathan Gonell, got the Beachwood head football coach job tonight. Congrats to another Mount Union product leading young men.
