AU64 10,122 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 The last player I can remember Auburn signing out of high school, going to JUCO and re-signing with AU two years later was Brandon Jacobs. That was in 2003, ten years ago. There have been a bunch of non-qualifiers signed since then but Jacobs is the only one I can recall showing back up and he was only here one year before moving on again. If anybody can recall a more recent player that fits that description, please post. In general, when they have to go the JUCO route it's the end of the story for the player at Auburn. Does Nick Fairley not fall in this category..... Yes, and Eltoro Freeman I believe. Yes they both do, that's why I asked. Jacobs was the only one I could think up and one seemed too few given the large number of non-qualifiers we've signed in the past ten years or so. Still, the odds are very poor that a guy returns. Certainly that's been our history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixie1860 27 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Jason is one that we should keep tabs on. Wonder if he could do a Nick Marshall and win the QB job? Something to consider anyway. He would make a heck of a slot receiver as would Nick Marshall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU is building a strong core of QBs and WRs and JMO, but within the next few years we won't be looking for so many JUCOs to fill our openings.

ausburn 159 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Auburn's transfer admissions standards. Policy on the Admission of Transfer Students and Transfer Credit Transfer applicants must provide official transcripts (not duplicated or faxed copies) from each college attended, including any at which the applicant enrolled while in high school. A minimum 2.5 cumulative GPA on a 4.0 scale on all college work attempted and eligibility to reenter the institution last attended are required to be considered for transfer admission. Transfer applicants who were not eligible for admission to Auburn when they graduated from high school must present a minimum of 45 quarter hours or 30 semester hours of college credit. All transfer students who have attempted 45 quarter hours or 30 semester hours of college work must have earned a cumulative 2.5 GPA in at least 30 quarter hours, or 20 semester hours, of standard academic courses as required in Auburn University’s Core Curriculum, in addition to the overall 2.5 cumulative average. These 30 quarter hours, or 20 semester hours, must include at least one course in each of the following areas: English (college-level composition or literature), History, Mathematics-approved core mathematics for articulation and general studies (or its equivalent from other institutions) and Natural Science with a laboratory. Admission of transfer students to the university is contingent on availability of space. Mississippi Gulf Coast is on a semester system. A student there has to take at least 12 hours per semester to be a full time student. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the non-qualifier has to GRADUATE from JUCO before he's eligible to go on scholarship. That would mean Smith can't make it in until the 2015 season.

Thanks for doing the digging ausburn. That's why the JUCO decision was so significant.....at a prep school he could have done a year and then re-applied so we have to assume that he was not going to be able to get his academics in shape with prep school support. At JUCO a lot can happen in 2 years though I read somewhere that the plan is for him to sit out a year at JUCO and to come back to AU with 3 years of eligibility. Hope it works that way.

We've got JJ, White and so forth. Smith was recruited strictly as a WR and I don't see that changing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CameronCrazy 1,075 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I wouldn't be surprised if he got a chance to run the triple offense that Marshall has perfected.
