best of luck to him. he had a lot of wonderful moments with us and i think he has a lot of skills that the nfl could develop. he was a great run stopper his senior year for us

Best of luck to the young man. When they introduce you on Monday Night Football, refer to GT as "the Institute". I wanna make that a thing.

Good luck to Juanyeh. Very physically gifted player. Hopefully he finds coaches in the NFL that can fully utilize his talents. I just wished we could have sent this young man out with a bowl game.

Go get um Jacket!

Amen to this. I don't usually get into rap but I think Eminem was right. You only get one shot so go get get it Juanyeh. But I will disagree with him (Marshall, not Juanyeh) on this. It's just not right to throw up mama's spaghetti, no matter how sweaty one's palms might get.

This young man is a class act. I will miss him as a player but welcome him as a fellow alum. Thanks for your effort.

Hearing Griffin is transferring.

I suspect he will score out very well at the combine.........for a linebacker

Wasnt too good imo. This will be an interesting follow

Kinda thinking he could end up being another Darren Waller scenario. Better pro than college player due, in part, to being used differently.

Hmm...I wonder where I've heard that before.

I actually think Tariq Carpenter is a better pro prospect than Juanyeh is at LB. Both guys could have definitely been high level LBs for us.

Agreed. Never made sense why they weren’t playing there.

In fairness to the staff, it may also been a "want to" issue. Players still have to agree to move, and some players are adamant about wanting to play certain positions.

Willis, a 4 star DB that was committed to us, was coveted by other schools at LB. We got his commitment because we had a plan at DB for him...a position he wanted to play on this level.

I think Juanyeh will make it in the pros. He is easy fast enough and they like guys his size these days at DB since the pro WRs are mostly Godzilla clones. If nothing else, he'll do as a return specialist. Give him a hole and good things happen.

Thanks for your time at Tech, Juanyeh! You were always a favorite of mine!

I will be really interested to see his times. He didn't seem as fast as a senior as he did earlier when he was lighter. However, he might be deceptively fast. The entire secondary seemed to be chasing the DB's this year instead of running with them.

It's his stride. He's big and, even when he's at full speed, he doesn't look like he is moving all that fast. But … you're right; he may have lost a step since he put on some weight. But that's easy to take care of.
