Wow, so DL depth is down to shittu, kaumatule, lohn, watkins, phillips, and thomas, with one of them injured and one playing only in nickel. That should be interesting.

Which one is only playing in nickel next year?

Re JC's this is a bit out of date but several years ago Stanford took as a University 20 some transfers from all venues in a year.  A couple have been JCs.  But the last JC athlete I know of was 2001, baseball. 

Of course Zimmerman and Rueland from a 4 year school to JC to Stanford.

I think Randy Vataha and Benny Barnes were JC transfers.

I believe the last true JC transfer in football was Blaine Maxfield in 1996. There were three JC transfers in 1995 -- Greg Clark, Derek Hubbard, and Greg Hairston. There were a number of JCs before that.

As Bob mentioned, Konrad Reuland went from NotreDame to a JC to Stanford, but he didn't play football at the JC.

I am pretty sure Ryan Wetnight was a a JC transfer in my era (early 90's).

Some people have said that to be accepted as a JC transfer, the recruit had to meet the admission standards coming out of high school. If true, this means that the pool is of exceedingly small proportions.

So one of my buddies is a UVA alum and a sports nut like us.  There were rumors of a graduate transfer visiting UVA and that it was Braxton Miller.  He checked with me to see if I knew anything from Ohio State channels.  Then he heard it was a West Coast kid.  I threw out Evan Crower and Rick Neiheisel's kid as possibilities.  Turns out it's Charlie Hopkins.

Konrad Rueland was not acceoted out of HS at Stanford

Wow on Hopkins great for him.  If you are really a 40 year believer here's another player going to grad school on a FB scholie.  Who has it better than that ?

he appears to have gone to Fresno City College in 1989-90 since they list him as an alum who played in the NFL

There were a number of JC transfers in football back in the mid-1990s and earlier. None since then.

I believe we may have a JC transfer or two in other sports fairly recently. BobK would know.

Nope 2000 was the most recent athlete I believe.  A baseball player from Sac City who never or almost never played.

I wonder if Aaron Rodgers would have been admitted after his freshman year at the local JC?  As near as I can tell, his GPA was 3.6 unweighted/4.0 weighted, with somewhere between a 1300 and 1400 SAT (1950 to 2100 these days).

Would he have started for either of Buddy Teevens' 4-7 teams?  Would he have taken Chris Lewis' place or Trent Edwards' place?

Incidentally, BT's 2003 team with Chris Lewis was horrendous, with blowout losses coming to USC (23), Oregon (35), Notre Dame (50, infamous last game) and Oregon State (40).  There were double digit losses to Washington (10), Washington State (11) and Kal (12).    If Rodgers plays instead of Chris Lewis, maybe they beat one of the W's and Kal and go to a minor bowl game.

The 2004 team was a lot more respectable.  2004 team lost to Oregon by 3, #1 USC by 3, #23 ASU by 3, Oregon State by 5 and Notre Dame by 8.  If Stanford wins two of those five games, the team is 6-5 and goes bowling.  The only blowout losses were to UCLA by 21 and Cal by 35.

If they go bowling and win some mediocre bowl, in 2005 Trent Edwards is now a junior, team goes 5-6.  If they beat Davis, it's another mediocre bowl.  Maybe they beat #8 UCLA (was a 3 pt loss) and they go to a less mediocre bowl.  Teevens keeps his job. 

In 2006, who knows?  Probably not 1-11.

A near miss (shudder).
