ccgeneral Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 EDIT: 6/13/14 - @tre5_roberson 2h Im excited about this chapter and wil be attending illinois state Indiana head football coach Kevin Wilson announced on Wednesday afternoon that junior quarterback Tre Roberson will not return to the Hoosiers program in 2014, planning to transfer. "We appreciate and thank Tre for his contributions to our football program both on and off the field," Wilson said. "He is an outstanding player and a great young man. We wish him well as he moves forward with his career." "I want to thank the coaching staff, my teammates and Indiana University for all of their support over the last three years," Roberson said. "My time in Bloomington will always hold a special place in my heart. I wish everyone at IU all the best as I move on to the next chapter in my life." Roberson became the first Indiana true freshman to start at quarterback in 2011. He started five games, played in nine overall, threw for 937 yards and rushed for 426 yards. After suffering a broken leg in the second game of 2012, Roberson bounced back with four starts and 12 appearances last season. He completed 83-of-138 (60.1 percent) for 1,128 yards with 15 touchdowns, four interceptions and a 158.9 pass efficiency rating. Roberson added 423 rushing yards on 85 attempts (5.0 average) with five TDs. http://www.iuhoosiers.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/061114aaa.html
Parakeet Jones Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Wow. Unless I have missed something this is completely out of nowhere. Isn't it? Looks like Suds is the man now. HoosierReb01 and WayneFleekHoosier 2
realbig304 Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 A blessing in disguise. Hate to see Tre go, but now Sudfeld doesn't have to worry about being taken out at a random time in a game. Sudfeld will probably lead the B1G in passing now. AJmoye, Naturalhoosier, WayneFleekHoosier and 1 other 4
hoosierwhodey Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 I did not see that coming. I prefer Suds as the starter, but it would be nice to have Tre as the backup.Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners
Hovadipo Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 It's a blessing in disguise unless, of course, you thought Tre was the better option of the two. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners thebigweave 1
IU Hoosier41 Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 tre5_roberson4:16pm via Twitter for iPhone I want to thank Hoosier nation for all the support the last 3 years I'm going to miss my teammates more than anything I love them all HoosierReb01 and LazOffTheBench 2
djsalway Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 I figured he'd be the starter to begin the season, but looks like Sudfeld will be able to thrive knowing that he is the one and only QB. Bad news here is that a true freshman is essentially the 2nd string guy.
323SGrant Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Not good. You need to have good depth at every position. I wonder what happened.
IU Hoosier41 Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Definitely didn't see this coming... I'm wondering if this was a giant surprise based on Spring practices? I'm guessing it wasn't, but again I have don't have any insider info on this one.
KingPG21 Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 A blessing in disguise. Hate to see Tre go, but now Sudfeld doesn't have to worry about being taken out at a random time in a game. Sudfeld will probably lead the B1G in passing now. Nate should be worried about how to read a freaking zone defense
OliviaPope40 Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 What a surprise now we don't have to worry about who to use on game days when we take out Nate and put in Trey for unknown reasons.
CR3AMnCR1MS0N Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 So CBS Sports says he'll have one year of eligibility left, but when he got hurt he took a MEDICAL redshirt. Couldn't he take a normal redshirt next year and have two years left?Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners
The Ola Depot Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Don't see this as too big of a problem. Of course it takes away the threat of a pass and run but it will definitely help, I think, at a mental stand point. Nate knows now that he can make some mistakes without knowing he'll be pulled (not saying I want him to make mistakes). As for second string situation, Zander Diamont will most likely take that role. He is a true freshman but a very talented player. If something were to happen to Nate during the season, I'd be confident handing the torch over to him. .

Occasionally you can petition the NCAA for a 6th year but that doesn't happen often IIRC.

Occasionally you can petition the NCAA for a 6th year but that doesn't happen often IIRC. I petitioned and got a 6th year after using a normal redshirt and a medical redshirt. I was going to walk-on onto the IU track team while pursuing my Masters degree but decided not to when they overhauled the track team coaching staff. I'm not sure how often it happens though.
JaybobHoosier Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Wow, hate to see Tre go. Wish him nothing but the best of luck. Good for Nate thou. Coleman on the ground, and many weapons in the air, we will be fine. Go Hoosiers!!!Sent from my DROID4 using BtownBanners mobile app mamasa 1
IU Hoosier41 Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Any word out there on where he'll end up? If I recall correctly he only had offers from Purdue & Toledo?
mamasa Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 I remember being at Spring Game 2 yrs ago and hearing several people pretty excited about Nate Boudreau. I haven't heard much about him since. Anyone know if he (or Max Matthews) is an option?<br /><br /><br />Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app
