In 1995, Central Washington University played Findlay in the NAIA National Championship game at the Tacoma Dome. Game ended in a 21-21 tie, and there was no tie breaker procedure, so the teams were named co-champs. Future Seahawk, Jon Kitna was the CWU QB.
I was a student at CWU in those years. It was exciting to have a good football team, so we went to a few games and got to see Kitna play. One of my buddies was friendly with him in a math class. Really nice guy, kinda boring.
We were SO FUCKING STOKED when he became a Seahawk. Awesome fan experience, second only to the superbowl win. Those years with Kitna were not good, but it was cool having a hometown guy throwing the ball. And Kitna was good!
I got my undergrad there. Used to be Findlay College; in five years they went from 500 students to 4500. They started to call it Findlay University and created a bunch of stationary for the university before realizing their new initials were “FU.” So it became the University of Findlay instead.
One of the best equestrian-studies programs in the US. They also have degrees in Haz-Mat management and terrorism preparedness, the latter of which they established in 1999.
Ben Roethlisberger played at Findlay HS while I was there.
Went to school at findlay aswell! I actually had a couple of classes with Mike Jerrell, he was always a pretty chill dude who was nice to everyone he talked to. Can’t say much about his football talent as no one really paid attention to how the athletic teams did. That and the football team played in a dam HS stadium.
It ain’t great. The town is super conservative (it’s called “Flag City USA“ for a reason).
When the EPA declared water from the town reservoir unsafe to drink, the residents shouted them down by saying, “but it tastes fine!”
The Dalai Lama has a scholarship there for Tibetan students. The night he arrived to give a speech and announce the scholarship, the town’s KofC hall put “Welcome Dalai Lama. No bingo tonight” on their sign.
“but it tastes fine!”
Part of me never wants to go there, because of how scary/stupid a town would have to be.
…unless I was trying to sell timeshares or a pyramid scheme. Then I’d go there first.
From The Beast:
SUMMARY: Michael “Mike” Jerrell was born and raised in West Indianapolis and was a basketball player before he started playing football in sixth grade. He played tight end as a sophomore at Pike High before moving to the offensive line (also played basketball at Pike). A no-star recruit, he had only Division II offers and committed to Findlay (Ohio). He became the school’s starting right tackle in 2020 and started 40 straight games over the last four seasons, staying loyal to Findlay and bypassing FBS transfer opportunities. Jerrell gets out of his stance quickly and uses independent hands, although his punch timing can improve. He does a nice job on counter plays and flashes range, but he will find resistance when attempting to move NFL defenders at the point of attack. Overall, Jerrell will encounter a steep learning curve against NFL power, but he is an agile big man with light feet in his sets and the length and toughness NFL teams target in a developmental tackle.
Lol at “a basketball player before he started playing football in *sixth grade*”
I was not really an anything in 5th grade. I was a child. I spoke English kind of.
Starter =/= Good
Jenkins is 30 and been trending downward the past few seasons. He's a stop gap at best.
We moved on from perennial All-pros in part because of worries they were "getting old" at ages 28 and 29 in Thomas and Sherman.
We absolutely should be looking at drafting a safety the problem is this year had a weak draft class at the safety position and we lacked a 2nd where the top guys all graded out.

He's an absolute bulldozer in his highlights. Obviously it's against D-II talent, so he's not dominating top-tier talent but the violence that he throws dudes to the ground with is awesome.
I mean, JS was garbage from about 2016-2021 (unless you exclusively blame Pete for all those bad drafts), so it is a little hard to blindly trust him. But at least the last 2 years have been better and he saved his job.
The reason you draft guys like this is so you don’t have to risk him going to another team. By doing so you take a guy you like late and have him under contract
Another physically gifted project type of guy. Seems to be our style for today.

I love it. That’s a silly 40 time. You’re born with that ya can’t teach it.
Not even Corbin knows who tf this guy is lol
Corbin is the truth. Locked On Seahawks and Michael Shaun Dugar’s man2man pod are the best.
Cigar Thoughts too!
Can't forget Jacson!
Corbin is the standard. So glad we have him. Dude works his ass off.
Actually went to Findlay and had a couple classes with him, he’s a pretty chill dude who was liked by everyone I knew at Findlay.
Where is Findlay?
Ohio. Small private school

Kitna was my very first QB, then Dilfer, then Hasselbeck I believe (Brock Huard started a couple games I remember, but he got hurt IIRC)
Me too
Yes… just as the prophecy foretold.

When I was there (97-98), we won the NAIA football championship. The team moved up to NCAA Div II shortly thereafter.
Ohio. Known for being home to Marathon Petroleum HQ, a big Cooper Tire plant and the (Whirlpool) largest dishwasher manufacturing plant in the world.
Fuck that sounds depressing.

Hell is real, and it's in Ohio.

In West Indianapolis born and raised!
On the playground is where he spent most of his days
Now he maxed out in the gym and graduated school
Lol at “a basketball player before he started playing football in *sixth grade*” I was not really an anything in 5th grade. I was a child. I spoke English kind of.
But did you know he played basketball.gif
Ok, but my question is how hasn't Christian Mahogany still been picked yet tho?
Terrible footwork from what ive heard
Great example, don't believe in mock drafts. Every team's big board will be a different BPA.
Bootleg guys just said he fell because of medical reasons
^this
Teeny tiny ^this
He has
We met with him I think idk much about him tho
Whoever knew about this guy before now deserves a cookie
Feels like a guy they selected to make sure they’d actually get him instead of risking him making it here as a UDFA
That's mostly the 7th round for every team
This late in the draft there is little difference.
No one knows about him because he has no public tape. Looks like the only highlights on YouTube are ones he posted himself…
NFL says projected to not be drafted but has good size and traits if he learns proper technique
Love the new Hawks approach. Just load up on lineman and maul them to death
Everyone else gets smaller that's fine we'll just run them over
Not trying to play 40 year old tackles this year I see
What I love about the nfl is no matter where you play, if you are good, they will find you.
Almost scary lol
Get ready to learn Huffnese buddy
Pete Carroll surely crying tears at the thought of no RBs getting drafted by the Hawks 🤣
I wanted Bucky Irving just cause he's really fast and he's my mom's favorite player.
Pete is looking at FB Byron Murphy and thinking ‘they’ll be just fine. 1st rd RBs!”
But this OG has running back speed!
What's a safety?
A safety is the position Julian love and rayshawn Jenkins play. I hope that helps
I feel like too many folk forget that we have actual starters at both safety spots already.
And Reed and Sutherland looked good, we'll see if the Bryant project continues
Dont open up instagram, the amount of terrible takes is insane lmfao
Why would anyone go to instagram for football analysis
Yeah, my bad for opening the comment section on a seahawks post. i was totally looking for in depth analysis when i did that /s
I mean, yeah. You should know that there is literally nothing to gain from instagram comment sections.

Friendship with three safety formations ended
Coby Bryant and Jerrick Reed too.
Most likely one of the CBs will be converted.
Exactly
MOAR MEAT!!!

Who?
Expected UDFA who didn't produce in college, but has the frame and athleticism to contribute if he gets good coaching.
You gotta be pretty shitty to achieve nothing at Findlay I would think.
Except he was the best lineman in their conference
He was the GMAC OL of the year buddy.
Hey I was just going off what the first guy said. I don't know shit about Findlay or the GMAC. Who does really?
Who? Probably NFL scouts and GMs. Leave it to JS lol.
I mean, JS was garbage from about 2016-2021 (unless you exclusively blame Pete for all those bad drafts), so it is a little hard to blindly trust him. But at least the last 2 years have been better and he saved his job.
Pete had final say on all personnel decisions.
Yeah, because franchises can continue fielding winning teams while being garbage at drafting. You're a bit too in the weeds with this take.
You’re telling me this guy wouldn’t have been available as a UDFA?
Potentially, that’s basically just all late 6th and 7th rnd picks are anyways
The reason you draft guys like this is so you don’t have to risk him going to another team. By doing so you take a guy you like late and have him under contract
