Elder FB Josh Freidel is going to AFA.

 

Isn't this the kid that used to live in Union and transferred out to Elder due to having to back up some kid named Elliott?

Yes that is him

IF that is true, Ryle should have been able to find a spot for him if Elder did....

I believe he only wanted one spot - Elliott's. He and his parents apparently made that clear to the coach.

Good for Josh. And thank You for serving your country.

He was always a very good athlete. Not saying if he is better than Elliott at RB or not but he is very talented.

Sounds like it worked out for all. Congratulations to him.

For all but Ryle.

...so he changed positions for Elder but wouldn't do it for Ryle???

Do you think a basketball player would be more likely to change positions to play for UK or Vanderbilt?

Why leave a school because you are not getting to play the position you want..... and then change positions anyway??????

I think he wanted to be the QB

The answer to your question lies in the answer to my question. That and once he transferred once he would probably be reluctant to transfer again so he might as well move.

Friedel and Timmerman will once again be teammates on the football field. They played on the same SR division team in the BCPWFL.

Your question compares apples to oranges.

 

Colleges recruit and a player is more likely to change positions to go to a bigger, better school than a smaller one.

 

I can understand not wanting to transfer again, but I hardly think a player not good enough at one position at Ryle is going to go to Elder and expect to be the best at that same position....

 

My point is that there is probably more to the story than just not getting to play the position he wanted.
