INVITED WALK-ONS REPORTING FRIDAY
40 Justin Albert, WR/TB (Prattville)
62 Charles Bates, OL (Gadsden)
65 Kevin Carroll, OL (Lassiter, Ga.)
67 Clay Clark, OL (Auburn)
51 Watson Downs, LB (Dothan)
87 Bryan Harris, TE (Florissant, Mo.)
70 Cameron Hunt, OL/DL (Auburn)
72 Andrew Parmer, OL (Dalton, Ga.)
16 Brent Poole, QB (Troy)

DID NOT REPORT
54 Andre Wadley, DE

That's 20 scholarship guys and 9 walk-ons for a total of 29. Wadley would make 30.

Here are the Things You Need To Know:
  • Wadley hasn't yet gained medical clearance. He's still planning to resume his career this fall. He just wasn't here today and I found that significant.

  • Neiko Lipscomb is no more. He is going by Neiko Thorpe.

  • Lykes has been moved to defensive tackle. He looks big.

  • Bell is in a boot. He broke his left foot during a voluntary workout. He's expected to gain full clearance in three weeks or so.

  • Albert is a name you Montgomery-area people may remember. He was a stud at Prattville last year before blowing out his right knee during a playoff game. Albert said he's "90 percent" right now. He's aiming to play receiver.

Italics are for walk-ons. I should nix that. It's confusing.

I heard Wadley was still in the hospital, JGT.

Any word?

I know he was discharged several weeks ago. Maybe he's back in there?

Thorpe??? Is he saying he's a supreme athlete or does the name have some other meaning or significance, Jay?

There is a story there. I'll pass it along in today's blog.

I gotta say, having the name 'Thorpe' on the back of a jersey is pretty effin sweet.
