Penn QB transferring to TCU, former teammate of Lucas Niang

[McFroggin]

I live in Fairfield and watched my son's teams play against New Canaan from youth through high school. Marinelli is a legend in CT and New Canaan is a powerhouse in that area. My guess is this kid is very smart operator and won't cost us a scholly. Good pickup.

I'm not sure you know how schollies work.....

How is he not gonna cost us a scholarship?

He would be a walk-on.

He would be a walk-on.

Is he though?

Is he though?

Per Jeremy Clark on 247: "Preferred walk-on; not a scholly kid."

Penn is Ivy league and doesn't give scollies so I assumed he wasn't getting one to come here. Besides everyone from New Canaan is loaded.

I really like his attitude. Really really like his attitude.

I am sure he qualifies for significant academic funds, he was a Wharton kid.

Just glad to have him and looks like he is not your ordinary walk-on.

Academic scholarship, I'd think, is probable.

"but I think he wanted more of a football experience.”

That’s exactly what Collins wanted.

I just did a little quick reading on Lou Marinelli. Pretty impressive HS coaching resume
