A little competishon never hurt anybody.

Rhett will benefit from it. And I'd rather have this dood as a backup than a froshman Sam Bradford.

Good news JR

[BoomerJack]

It looks like he has million dollar physical ability; I hope his attitude is worth more than 10 cents. The last stud buzzard chunker we saw out of California didn't work out so well.

Two things:

1. Since he's finishing JC this December, will he enroll at Norman this January and participate in Spring drills?

2. Is there any information readily available about his JC career stats? Yards, completion percentage, team records, etc. ?

[jreed13]

How many years of eligability will he have left?

[CoSooner]

Originally from Oaks Chritian High School. Will graduate in mid-term and will have three years for two seasons.

4 to play 3

i have oft wondered why more QBs don't take the qualified juco route. you prove yourself in one year and its amazing how you can go from zero bcs offers to several.

[OU-HSV]

Great News JR..depth will be nice to have..expecially at QB. Here's a little info I found on this kid on scout.com, some of it has already been mentioned on this thread:

2005 - Golden West:
Could be one of the more highly sought after JC quarterbacks in 2005. Possesses a strong arm, good feet, and excellent height. Was arguably the top quarterback at the 2005 JCFootball.com SoCal Combine: 4.58 forty, 4.3 shuttle, 28.7 vertical, and 21 reps on the bench at 185. Halzle is a graduate of Oaks Christian HS in southern Calif. He hopes to qualify in December and will show up at his college of choice in the spring with four years to play three.
Halzle: "I have the ability to read defenses and I have a strong arm. I can also move the ball on the ground if I have to."

2003 - High School Football:
Had a solid junior season completing 143-253 passes for 2,316 yards and 27 TDs. Earned 1st team All-Area and All-CIF honors for his efforts.

Also here's a link to a story about one of their games from October

[Big Red Ron]

Wow, he went from 170 lbs as a senior in HS to 215 as a freshman in college.

[OU-HSV]

Shhhh....we don't want a roid bust on the new recruit.

[Big Red Ron]

Well that all happened back in California, we're offering him a "clean slate."

[OU-HSV]

Very True! He seems to have nice bench press for a QB as well, at 315 lbs.

[soonersam]

315? Is that good?

[jkm, the stolen pifwafwi]

Wow, he went from 170 lbs as a senior in HS to 215 as a freshman in college.

there was a gray shirt year in there. that's why he has 4 to play 3...

[Big Red Ron]

I know but DAMN. 40lbs in one year at Juco.

[OU-HSV]

315? Is that good?

I would think so for a QB...I bet JW benched more than that though.

[85sooners]

CAN HE HAND IT OFF TO AD THAT WHAT IM TALKIN ABOUT TOUCH DOWN!!!!!!!

[FirstandGoal]

I don't give a rip what he can bench, as long as he keeps his nose clean, works hard and doesn't quit the team.

[GoOwls]

Welcome Joey. Another in a long line of strangely named OU QB's starting with an H.

I look forward to another period of spelling and pronunciation error!
