Farewell Seniors

Let's say goodbye to the class of 2034...

RB Jay Addison
3.37 GPA in Accounting. Started 2 games in 2034, but has been a backup throughout his 4 years here. With only 421 career yards here, he was lucky to be on scholarship, and never conributed much.

FB Oliver Dunne
2.58 GPA in Geology. A walk-on who almost never saw the playing field, finishing with only 12 rushing and 21 recieving yards.

WR Deion Erickson
3.44 GPA in Medicine. A walk-on role player who grew to be an increasingly large part of the offense, culminating with starting 6 games in place of injured receivers this season. He was a large part of the recieving corps this year with 365 yards and 2 touchdowns.

T Vinny Fogle
3.10 GPA in Dentistry. Vinny was a three year starter who improved his run blockin season to season, his experience will be missed on the offensive line.

G Peter Hauser
2.78 GPA in Journalism. Somewhat under-achieving 2 year starter. While the scouts seemed to be in love with him, his run-blocking just wasn't what it should have been.

ILB Joe Minor
2.56 GPA in Geography. Scholarship player who never permenantly worked his way into the starting lineup. He did fill in and start two games in 2033, but was never enough of an impact player to earn a full-time job.

C Leroy O'Donnell
3.58 GPA in Metallurgy. A scholarship player who never came close to fulfilling his potential. It looked like the talent was there, it simply never materialized.

OLB Winfred Prescott
2.33 GPA in Business. A scholarship player who started his final 3 years here. Winfred was never really an impact linebacker though, and posted so-so stats.

DE Moe Slay
2.01 GPA in Geology. A solid two-way defensive end who had a very solid senior year. While a moderate pass-rusher, Moe also became a very nice run-stopper his final two seasons.

QB Devin Spellman
2.06 GPA in Geography. The second best quarterback in school history, Devin still never played as well as some thought he could. Still, he threw for over 7,000 yards and 64 touchdowns in his 4 years at I.U.

TE Pat Buxo
3.24 GPA in Economics. Scholarship player who never became a real force. Finished with 11 catches for 124 yards in 3 starts.

DT Adam Doty
3.00 GPA in Algebra. Another disappointing scholarship player. He seemed to be on the brink of being a solid player by his senior year, but now it's time to move on. Red-shirting him probably would have been a good idea at some point.
