STONY BROOK, N.Y. - Stony Brook head football coach Chuck Priore
has announced the addition of wide receiver Timmy Keith to the
roster for the 2015 season as a graduate student.
Keith, a native of Manassas, Virginia, joins the Seawolves after
spending the last four years at Western Michigan. The former
three-star recruit from Osborn High School is a 6-0, 203 pound
wide receiver that played primarily on special teams for the
Broncos, but did pull down 20 receptions for 218 yards during
his career.
His career game came against Michigan State during his junior
season when he collected three catches for 55 yards, including a
game-long 45 reception.

Swing and a Miss by Towson on a FBS QB, ha ha
Former Miami QB Kevin Olsen dismissed
Kevin Olsen's career at Towson is over before it began.
The former Miami quarterback has been dismissed from the FCS
program for a violation of team rules. He transferred to Towson
this winter.
“The relationship we had with the kid and his family has gone on
for quite some time, and everybody was pretty much assured that
this would work out for the positive,” Towson coach Rob Ambrose
said via the Baltimore Sun. “So it’s disappointing for Kevin,
it’s disappointing for us, and we’ll just move on.”
Olsen went to Towson after he left Miami following a DUI arrest.
He was also cited with having a fake driver's license.
He had a brief and tumultuous tenure with the Hurricanes. Olsen,
the brother of current Carolina Panthers tight end and former
Miami Hurricane Greg Olsen, was a redshirt freshman in 2014 and
had been suspended three times as a Miami player. His suspension
in the spring of 2014 helped Brad Kaaya to seize the starting
quarterback job for the season.
Ambrose also told the sun that the former four-star recruit
wasn't penciled in as the team's starter in 2015.
“It’s a setback in that there’s one less quality player
competing for the job,” Ambrose said. “But in truth, he never
took a snap here. It’s a setback in that you believed you had a
semi-proven commodity as a player who was going to compete and
make the team better. But it’s not like he was anointed. He knew
he was going to have to compete for the job, and there are some
talented guys to compete against.”

GOOD. Shame on Ambrose and Towson. They knew this kid was a
train wreck and still brought him in. Obviously, Towson didn't
care about Academics or behavior issues Olsen has but was more
concerned about Football and making Towson look like a hereo.
Well, it back fired on them!!

40 time is not that important. And these performances seem
sketchy to me.
Did they run the 3 cone drill? That is a bit better measurable
than the 40.

I think its great that our kids are impressing scouts enough to
get some private tryouts. nothing there to criticize.
The New York Jets, New York Giants, Kansas City Chiefs and
Denver Broncos are the teams that will be holding workouts with
Tye as of now, and he already worked out with the San Diego
Chargers, according to DuWayne Upton, Tye’s agent.
In CBS Sports’ NFL Draft Prospects rankings, Tye is the No. 24
tight end in the upcoming draft, and No. 460 player overall,
which will likely move in a positive direction after Wednesday’s
performance.

40 times are really important. That is what will get u drafted
or brought into camp. Watch the combine all they talk about is
the 40.

You're right. Commentators talk about the 40 all the time, but
NFL scouts don't.
The 40 measures straight line speed and it is a weak measurable.
It is somewhat useful to measure ability to run and cover fly
patterns, but was originally designed to guage punt coverage
ability with the punter's hang time. It has a place but it is
but one of 100 factors or so.
These times seem suspiciously fast to me anyway.

I'm pretty sure they're hand timed rather than the fully
automatic systems that are in place at the combine. I believe
every scout has his own stop watch and will have slightly
different time, and we're probably only hearing the best
results. Regardless, it seems like the scouts walked away
impressed which is great.
