Impact in the WAC – Part III
In our final “Impact in the WAC” football series, we breakdown Nevada, San Jose State and Utah State. Few teams in the conference surprised us more than the Spartans and Aggies, but Nevada, led by JC-transfer Rishard Matthews, could once again have the most impact additions.

Another player who is set for Nevada’s upcoming senior day is Highland Park (Mich.) prospect Lanier Logan. A talented and strong running back/athlete that could project at any number of positions, Logan is a potential greyshirt candidate.
He was one of the first players targeted by the University of Nevada coaching staff, and even landed an early offer from the Pack. A 6-foot-1, 230-pound LB/DE, Orange (Calif.) Lutheran high school prospect Lorenzo Devers is headed north to visit Nevada for the Pack’s upcoming Senior Day.
Our second annual “Impact in the WAC” football series continues with three more programs, including Idaho’s massive recruiting class. We also focus in on Louisiana Tech and New Mexico State, two schools that have undergone head coaching changes in the past two years, and are now looking for a number of impact players. The Aggies look they have one in prospect Darien Johnson.
As we prepare for the 2010 football season ahead, SilverandBlueSports will once again take a look at each football programs recruiting class in our second annual “Impact in the WAC” football series, which focuses in on all nine Western Athletic Conference programs recruiting efforts moving forward to the upcoming season, which includes Boise State safety prospect Jeremy Ioane.
There are a handful of prospects across the country who fall into the category of being elite prospects, and even fewer that can do it in two sports like football and basketball. Arik Armstead, a 6-foot-8, 275-pound class of 2012 athlete out of Elk Grove (Calif.) , is one of the few who is that good.
In the final edition of our weekly off-season article entitled, “State of the Union”, SilverandBlueSports will look at the position that this column has been named after; the Nevada Offensive Line. Opening Day for Wolf Pack football is swiftly approaching, so here’s a look at what “The Union” might look for against Eastern Washington on September 2.
He’s one of the most talented quarterbacks in the country, yet most of those around college football only know about one part of his game; his rushing ability. For a player who has posted the numbers of a Colin Kaepernick, both as a passer and a rusher for three years, it has to be frustrating. However, thanks to his showing at the recent Manning Passing Academy, the perception is starting to change for Nevada’s main man.
It took some time, but former Paramount high school sensation Devonte Elliott is now ready to begin his Nevada career this fall. Standing 6-foot-11, Elliott, who has already spent part of his summer in Reno, brings a lot to the table. SilverandBlueSports spoke with the officially cleared kid known back in SoCal as “The Franchise” for his reaction.
