Many on here probably remember Jack Abraham, the record-setting high school QB from Oxford, Ms., who decommitted from Tulane shortly after Coach Fritz was hired. He went on to enroll at Louisiana Tech where he redshirted as a freshman last year. This season, as a redshirt freshman, he has moved on to Northwest Mississippi Community College where, through six games, he has averaged 274 yards per game passing with 13 TD’s and 5 INT’s. He’s also carried the ball 14 times for a net of 52 yards (after subtracting 14 yards in sacks).
Two days ago (Thursday), he led his team (#10 in JC ranks) to a 61-38 rout of then #1, East Mississippi Community College and their QB, Lyndsey Scott. Abraham was 22-33 passing for 314 yards and two TD’s with no INT’s. He also ran three times for 19 net yards, including a 10 yard TD run. Scott, of course, has put up cartoon-like numbers all year. Through seven games he’s averaged 308 yards per game passing with 18 TD’s and 6 INT’s. He’s also rushed 82 times for 407 yards and 4 more TD’s. In this game, he ran the ball 26 times for a net of 125 yards and a TD. He also threw 45 passes (26 complete) for 310 yards, 3 TD’s and 2 INT’s. It will be interesting to see where both kids end up next year. Abraham does not fit our “profile,” but Scott clearly does. Do we fit his? We’ll see.
Emanuel Bridges, the linebacker who initially enrolled last year at Georgia Tech after declining offers from Alabama, Clemson and many other “top end” football programs, led EMCC with 16 tackles during the game. Of course, it’s hard to believe anyone had a good game defensively when they allowed 61 points. That said, when he was still at Georgia Southern, Coach Fritz offered Bridges and earlier this year offered him a Tulane scholarship. At 6’2” and 225# with three years of eligibility remaining, he may be a name to remember.
