I'd anticipate a redshirt year similar to the Rony Nelson situation last year. Either way this is good news.
He doesn't have a redshirt. Its probably between Caspers and Simon for that 4th DT. They'll probably play about as much as Mansfield did last year.I'd anticipate a redshirt year similar to the Rony Nelson situation last year. Either way this is good news.

thats what it looks like.
can someone inform me, what the hype is on this kid? he's a 2 star juco right? Is it just because we need bodies on the DL and he's a big body?
I think that by the time Texas roles into town, with the first 3 games and the by week to get some work in while the starters rest/heal, Simon and/or Pompey will be ready to at least sub in a series or two each have when needed. They should pick up the basics of the defense schemes and get into some resembling of football shape by week 5.
Fortunately, it's one way that the additional bye weeks will work in his favor, giving him more time to get ready before the season progresses too quickly.That is great that he is going to be here, but I would think it will be quite awhile before he is in any kind of football shape or he learns all the techniques and schemes.
He started out at S.D. State, signing with Chuck Long, and was only a two star because no one expected him to qualify. We were in on him because Bobby Elliott knew about him.thats what it looks like.

Kind of what I was thinking. And as far as next season, if he and Pompey both stay healthy and eligible, it ameliorates the need to bring in another juco just to fill Ruempolhamer's shoes.Simon's greatest value this season would be providing the depth needed to ensure that Pompey can Redshirt. Anything else is gravy.
