Switch on offense
Posted by Travis Stewart on 30 March 2012
Joseph Duarte wrote this morning in the Houston Chronicle that former Cy-Fair star RB — and original Michigan signee — Sam McGuffie is moving from the backfield to wide receiver for the Rice Owls this season. There's probably a caveat with that; McGuffie, who was highly reruited as a preps star, will still take some carries for coach David Bailiff.

With the NFL Combine just around the corner — Wednesday, in fact, and running through the 28th of February — it's timely to take a quick look at all the Texas kids who will be making the trip to prove their mettle in front of scouts.

JUCO/CC signees
Posted by Travis Stewart on 22 December 2011
Wednesday was the start of the JUCO and CC player signing period, meaning, for the first time in this class, kids can actually sign letters of intent for their future programs. Three in-state programs reported signing JUCO and CC players yesterday, including Texas, which almost never utilizes players beyond the high school level.
