yeah could be after a JUCO. I just thought he was very noncommittal about it.

He was non-committal in the big press conference. However, go look for the local media assembly at the media days. In that smaller group, he said absolutely JJ would be here in August.

Which is another reason why LA's post about acedemic redshirt perked my interest. It's a new rule where a kid that is just shy of qualifying can practice and redshirt. Hopefully that isn't what is happening but it all adds up as possible to me

SIAP, but just a little insight into how talented Peterson is, per a 2-time Pro Bowler:

“The first time I saw JJ was in elementary school,” said Propst. “He was tall, very athletic, I thought a very happy kid. He was in the 3rd grade when I got here. I remember watching him in youth ball. You just knew he was going to be special as each year went by. Middle school ball is when he really started showing up. You don’t have to be a bright individual to know when a kid’s that age that he’s got some special athletic ability. The question is going to be whether he was going to get it developed. It’s an everyday process, an everyday battle with a lot of kids that you have to deal with. It’s in every community, not just Moultrie. It’s everywhere I’ve ever been. You see great athletic ability, possibly NFL talent, and you do everything in your power to try to put him in that direction of success.

“So many times it’s easy to say it’s hard. There’s issues and factors that may determine that it’s tougher, but JJ Peterson to me was one I knew deep down if we could get this child headed in the right direction and graduated and headed to a university … he’s an NFL talented kid.”

Yes, Propst admits there’s no guarantee of getting into college football, let alone the National Football League. Peterson has been to the combines for evaluation of his talent. Propst said the one that stood out the most was done by former New England Patriots linebacker Willie McGinest. “He told me after working him out in Atlanta a couple of times that he’s one of the top kids he ever worked out,” said Propst. “I thought that was pretty high praise. I said, ‘Do you think he can play in the NFL?’ He said, ‘Rush, he’s a first-rounder.’"

“Pruitt clearly has optimism and believes that JJ Peterson will be on the practice field with his team in a couple of weeks. Peterson is finishing up a couple of class things with the plan to be at Tennessee for practice.“
