Ahh…see you have given me something else to chew on…see my post under "Clayton's injury" for Cranor's info…i would consider him to be a good prosepect as well…he was in the ame situtation…but had alot of talent surrounding in area schools getting most of the limelight…

sad as it may be to say, i think Clayton may have just been a patch work quilt to get us to the next level - one with a solid QB…given the competition that is sure to be there next year when the others are not redshirting or sitting out, its going to be one dog fight!

PS…I like the name :)

Grant reportedly tore it up on Troy's scout team last year.

I read somewhere that he got an offer from Kentucky, and that he outplayed Tim Tebow in the Florida-California all-star game after he graduated from high school.

Really? Thats good stuff if true!

Schnelley (or anyone else for that matter) is yet to mention him…

I dunno about Tebow, except for being a quarterback that is like a full back…he has yet to impres me with passing skills…

You are CORRECT!!! Kentucky did offer him in the early signing period of 04'…As reported on his scout.com profile page:

Markey, I talked to O.G. last summer about Jason and he said he is the real deal. At the fan fest we talked about Cranor and he said he is similar to Grant. They both have strong arms and accurate. Jason has a little advantage because of his stint at Troy but Cranor from shouldn't be far behind. I think that will both be the QB's to take FAU up to the next few notch's.

BMarkey, I heard the same about Tebow and Grant when we were looking at the kid from Lakeland, Billy Lowe. I understand that he was better then Lowe and they say things happen for a reason. I'm sure Billy is freezing his butt off in Illinois about now.

Tebow is a joke so far. Has he even thrown the ball more than 10 times this season?? I don't understand the allure. So far, he is a chump as far as I am concerned. I feel for Leak because Florida fans don't respect his career and are instead looking for the next new thing. GO OWLS!!!

Where is this Billy Low kid at in Illinois?? If he is at the University of Illinois, I don't blame him for not going to FAU. They aren't even in the same class. GO OWLS!!!

Thanks. I know NIU very well and it is a much more desirable program than FAU. I don't blame the kid for going there. GO OWLS!!!

Florida Owl, Eli does look good. He is a good paasing QB with a good arm. Youre right, I gave the edge to Jason because of his time at Troy. He is a bit more seasond. I havent seen Eli run but Ive seen Jason on the scout team and in the toliet bowl. He is able to run real well and can run a good otption. Jason told me they have option plays in the game plan but dont use them right now. A good passinng attack a good running back and a good running QB will give FAU a tougher offesne to defend. Eli and Jason wil make a good set of QBs.
