... Justin Brown worked out fine ... Now we have another receiver outside of Westbrook ... http://www.pennlive.com/pennstatefootball/index.ssf/2016/01/penn_state_receiver_geno_lewis.html https://mobile.twitter.com/GENOALLDAY7?ref_src=twsrc^google|twcamp^serp|twgr^author Seems like a decent guy
I like that he is a senior, but if he left for fear of competition from 2 freshman at Penn State....(just sayin)
....that, plus Penn State loses its senior QB should be taken into account. I'm sure he'd rather be a receiver to a potential Heisman candidate than to a newbie in his last year of eligibility.
Lewis graduated from Penn State with a degree in human development and family studies, so he will be eligible to compete immediately for the Sooners. After Penn State’s loss to Georgia in the TaxSlayer Bowl, Lewis told reporters that he was considering a graduate transfer. Lewis had his best game of the season in the bowl with three catches for 53 yards and a touchdown, but his role in the offense diminished this season. He finished with 17 catches for 196 yards and three scores this season, far below the 55 catches for 751 yards he had in 2014. He also had 18 catches for 234 yards and three scores as a redshirt freshman in 2013. With PSU’s top two receivers, Chris Godwin and DaeSean Hamilton, returning, plus the influx of young talent at the position, Lewis decided to move on. Oklahoma is losing two of its top three receivers – Sterling Shepard and Durron Neal – so Lewis will likely have a good shot at increased playing time in Norman. Lewis is the second Penn State receiver to transfer to OU in recent years. Justin Brown transferred to Oklahoma in 2012 for his final season and put up 73 catches for 879 yards and five touchdowns – all career highs.
More competition at WR is probably a good thing for next year, but he doesn't look like the prize we got with Justin Brown. Can he return punts?
Why would we want to return a punt? Too risky... How good are the other two receivers? Maybe we should start looking at PSU as our farm team.
Why don't we just start getting some of these guys out of HS so they can learn the system? That being said, maybe some success from these transfers will lead to more opportunities/open door up there.
Maybe the kid just needs a change of scenery. He hasn't beaten a girl or been caught selling or using dope, so this type of transfer is fine.
