Emari Demercado had to ‘wait and wait’ for scholarship offer. Now he’s TCU’s top back

Emari Demercado didn’t generate much interest from major college football programs coming out of Downey [California] High School two years ago.

So he opted to go the junior college route, piling up 1,026 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns for Saddleback College in Mission Viejo, California last season.

Those numbers were good enough to make him a three-star JUCO recruit, according to 247Sports, but programs still didn’t seem to covet his services.

shouldn't that headline be "now he is tcu's ONLY runningback"

 

[Limey Frog]

Yeah, he's the bottom back, too. Not to detract from his effort and play. He played like a champion on Saturday.

 

[Limp Lizard]

Like his thought process on the reverse. Just do what you are supposed to do, no flashiness or heroics. You see simple plays in college botches up every week.

I'm impressed with Emari. Matter of fact, my wife who is very football savvy asked who's the new guy? Give him some reps and TCU will enjoy him a lot.

Also got to say something about Ben Wilson. This youngster is going to be outstanding.

BTW everybody, have a blessed Thanksgiving and peace be with you!
