Can he slide in at left tackle?

@Cornicator says yes!

 

[Carm]

Is he eligible this year?

no

 

[Carm]

he is enrolled

Being added this late (if he hasn't been floating around for a few weeks unnoticed) suggests redshirt.

Boekircher and Lindenmeyer running 2-3 on the depth chart right now suggests maybe not.

He has already used his RS in 2022 (a DNP) unless that was a medical

Former LSU TE Mac Markway transfers to Nebraska​

Former LSU tight end Mac Markway left the LSU program earlier this month. He is now enrolled at Nebraska.

Markway has not practiced yet in Lincoln. School began on Monday. He is expected to practice on Tuesday.

“Program on the rise, tight end heavy offense, great fans,” Markway’s father Matt told Tater Island of why his son transferred to Nebraska.

The 6-foot-4, 250-pound Markway played one season in Baton Rouge.

Markway “has made a decision that he’s not going to play,” Kelly said, per Mike Scarborough. Kelly added that he doesn’t know if Markway will transfer elsewhere or what his plans are moving forward.

Mac Markway was about to enter his sophomore season for the Tigers. He seemed to be a player with a bright future in Baton Rouge as he played a pivotal role for LSU as a freshman last season.

In 2023, Markway appeared in 12 games, making one start. He caught three passes for 16 yards and a touchdown last season.

Markway was rated as a four-star recruit and the No. 17 tight end in the country in the class of 2023, per the Tater Island Industry rankings.

He signed with LSU after playing high school football at Missouri. Markway played 160 snaps on offense last season and another 39 on special teams.

Nebraska opens the season Saturday afternoon against UTEP.

Very interesting - can he walk on and practice without playing in games?

 

[Carm]

yeah, you're right. I saw something about him being injured an entire year of HS and then sitting out but it was his junior year of HS, not his senior year. My guess, then, is that he is simply redshirting this year, which is the year he has to sit out because he did not enter the portal in time. I believe guys in that situation can practice with the team.

agree

[IM4NUALWAYS]

Doesn't sound like he'll play this year.

He can't. Have to go through the portal when it opens.

That makes no sense. How does any transfer play they first year then

I don’t really expect a guy to play anyways when joining the team 1 week to starting the season.

Guessing he’s getting nil funds to pay for tuition

 

[Pepe Silvia]

What school keeps trying to get Fidone into the portal? Rhule mentioned it in the spring.

I'm going to assume Cockeye because fuck Cockeye

Wonder what happened. This ia from March. Clearly going to be part of the offense.



Then Aug 6th leaves. Demoted? Kelly try to rape him?

If you transfer after your freshman year I’d assume you’d need to have been a mid-year enrollee to meet the requirement.

It's unclear what Markway's official status is with the team. If he joins the program as a walk-on, he'd be eligible to play in the 2024 season, per a source.
