  3. I didn't know McCaffrey was back. Glad to hear we can keep arguing about him and Milton! JK, I wish them both well and hope McCaffrey finds success in year 6. There was no QB recruit I've had higher hopes for.

    1. I think so. Last info I see on him is playing at Tennessee Tech in 2021. He was their leading rusher, FWIW. Technically, he should have this year of eligibility left. He is active on Twitter.
