Neither is a longhorn...bummer: Two Protected Players Honestly these guys seem kind of spare. You think they'd make a big announcement with a big name like Team Florida did with Chris Leak. I'm hoping the 24 remaining consist of some horns.
Jason Hunt can flat out play, went to my school and graduated before my time but I have seen some film from that 2002 Stagg Bowl Team and the kid can play, that team also had current Arizona Cardinal Jerheme Urban. Not to mention we had our left tackle play in Texas vs. the Nation and garner interest from the Seahawks, and our QB from the 2007 season is also playing in the game and garnering FA interest from the NFL. We are a small school but we have guys that can just flat out play.
One of the interesting things about the league is their rule that every player MUST have graduated from college. Heard on ESPN Radio his morning there are a lot of players going back to college so they can play in the league. That will keep some talent out of the league but it will improve the character of their roster.
I can't wait to see Geigger to knock Chris Leak out on a safety blitz. I realy hope Chance Mock gets on this team also.
For anyone following this we've got three more protected players announced: Now 10 Players Announced Geigger is still the only horn, but I'm confident there are more to come. Also, If you are a facebook user, I'm trying to get a group going of folks that will commit to attending the first game and make this thing a success. If it gets going we'll get to enjoy more of our horns playing past their senior year. Facebook - Sellout for Team Texas
