New Corner Transfer - Raeshawn Roland

He had an offer from Wyoming coming out of high school. Sounds like he went the junior college route, played for college of the canyons, earned a number of accolades and had an offer from UT Martin but decided to come here. Was a 2 star coming out of high school. Had 4 picks and 9 pass break ups last year. Made All California Community College team last season.

5’11 160 lbs.

Wow!! 5' 11" and a whooping 160 #. Another size-worthy west coast recruit for Hauck and Baer. But I'm sure he has a "big" frame so he can bulk up to 180. Looks like we are either favoring speed over size or preparing to drop down to the Frontier Conference.

Height is more of a concern than weight for that position. I am always concerned about JC transfers at any level. There is a learning curve. I am betting he is pretty damn fast though. Now this is interesting. MSU roster shows 7 corners.
6’0 170
5’8” 170
6’2” 195 (the big dog of the group Jo Jo Henderson)
5’8” 150
6’0” 160
5’10” 170
5’10” 176

Sammy A. torched them in the Griz/Cat game last year and almost single handedly beat those “frontier conference” corners. Maybe you have a point.

Out of curiosity I also checked Weebs roster and EWU’s. Weebs was very similar in size to MS Pew’s corners and RR. EWU’s were almost all taller and heavier. A tough position to recruit for. I hope the kid does really well just to piss you off a little more.
 
Seems like worse case it's depth at a position that needs depth. Not much downside.
 
I know size is ideal, but wanted to post this as a reminder that good physicality is just as important. Keith Thompson wasn’t the biggest corner on the field by a long shot.

I am all for anyone posting this at any time :thumb:
Hope Roland plays great.
 
If he is the guy they have been expecting, he is starter quality.

Interesting to see size of Cat corners.
 
With the hyper sensitivity to targeting...... not sure KT wouldn't be headed to the locker room. Looks like a close call.

Nice addition in Roland.

Good lord Keith Thompson was an absolute savage. Loved that guy.

Met him in the Mo Club about 4-5 years ago. Totally unassuming dude, and if you didn’t know who he was, you’d lose a LOT of money betting on whether he played football or not...
 
Obviously more goes into pass defense than the Corners, but I would think Raeshawn Rolans is a very welcome addition.
