Trenton Bledsoe

Tried to find some info on this guys but couldn't. He's a 5'5 145 lb Freshman Wide receiver from Texas. Pretty short to be a receiver. Is he on Scholarship? Thanks for the help. He's listed with the #3s on the depth chart.
Just curious...

Dear god that is tiny that kid must be ungodly quick or something along the lines of that wow receivers are getting smaller and smaller who knows thru must work though

Maybe he's our Brandon Banks, or JJ Moses 2.0?

Who knows, but I do think there is a place for really short, really fast guys in a spread offense receiving corps. Guys like this are great on screen plays, can often get yard after short catches. Obviously he probably won't be a deep threat or possession guy, but there's definitely potential.

I think he has to be a walk-on.

where do you see him on a depth chart? He's not on the one at cyclones.com.

He worked with the third unit on Saturday. He would be good on screens and short things on the edge. Low center of gravity that can pick up 5 yards in a hurry. I just wondered if he was scholly or a walk on. We don't get many walk ons from Texas!

I think that he's mainly a special teams player right now. Definitely a quick little guy.

If you can't see him, you can't tackle him!

Are they looking at him to return punts? Could be a perfect fit there if he doesn't fumble the ball.

Perfect.... our version of Noel Devine

Umm... I wouldn't go that far. This guy could be a good role player, returning punts, and seeing some PT at WR, but Noel Devine was 5 Star athlete coming out of high school, and one of the best running backs in CFB the past 3 years.

**Clonefan32** · 04-05-2010, 09:35 AM

Noel Divine also didn't weight 145 pounds...he had the weight and strength to take a hit, if anyone could put one on him.

I'm not sure I'd put him back there for punts yet. Not with Lenz, Sims, Reynolds, and Johnson all with the potential/experience to do it.

If he's good though, I'd rather have a back up taking those hits. Those 4 aren't guys I want injured. Not that I want this Bledsoe kid to get injured, but it's less of an issue for the whole team if it were to happen.

Little Terran. Very fast.

I agree and that's what I assumed you were getting at. Of course I am not sure Lenz will be a regular in the WR rotation if we stay healthy and Sed finally puts it together.
