Catchy title, huh? According to Mr. Bogaczyk in the article listed below, Xavier Gaines is eligible for the 2016 season. Some may remember him from signing day. 4-Star recruit with offers from pretty much every major program in the country. He is listed as a Dual-threat QB and some schools had him listed as an Athlete. Interested to see where he will land this fall in regards to position. If he is as talented as it appears, we need to find a way to get him onto the field in some capacity.

I agree. If he turns out to be a special player, which I'm hoping he will. We need to utilize his abilities to our best! And Doc is pretty good about doing that. Maybe some special packages? Or maybe at wide out? Just put the best 11 out there.

Some of his moves and abilities at QB remind me of Deshaun Watson. You can watch in the highlights below that he was used at WR a fair amount. Just get the ball into his hands and let him work

Looking forward to seeing him on the field herdman!

Can't wait for people to start complaining about Gaines wearing earrings.

Let's get him some earrings with Kelly Green Buffaloes on them.

Well, bison.

Hope they are not Gold. They might slow him down.
