Bobcat notes from 7-on-7

George on target
Bobcat senior quarterback Bradley George exhibited really good accuracy during Tuesday night’s 7-on-7 drills against a group of players from Texas Lutheran.
Da’Marcus Griggs was the recipient of at least two touchdown passes, while Darren Dillard displayed some nice footwork, making a nice juke move after a catch the helped set free to sprint to the end zone.
Tight end Andrew Brooks also had a touchdown catch, pulling in a pass on a corner route while gracefully dragging a foot inbound for the score.
In all, George fired six touchdown passes.

Sharp secondary
Defensively, the Bobcats looked really sharp, limiting TLU to just two scores. Senior Drenard Williams stood out with three interceptions, including one that was returned for a touchdown.
Linebacker Brian Iwuji also had an interception and would have scored had he not stepped out of bounds.
Teammates laughed as they were quick to point out his mistake, but Iwuji kept on running.

Chased from Oklahoma?
A number of new Texas State linemen were at he workout including University of Oklahoma transfer Jason Hannan, who comes to San Marcos with three years of eligibility and a very impressive resume.
The 6-3, 283-pound sophomore from Waxahachie was the nation’s top-rated center and No. 23 overall coming out of high school in 2007 according to Rivals.com.
And you’ll never guess who played a key role in luring Hannan to San Marcos: Former Bobcat quarterback/receiver Chase Wasson, who transferred to Oklahoma two years ago.
“We were roommates for a semester at Oklahoma and he told me about Texas State. I wanted to be a little more close to home, so I decided to come here,” Hannan said.
Hannan is currently enrolled in summer school at Texas State, and is not yet on the “official” roster. His name has been taken off the roster on OU’s official website.
The 7-on-7 workouts are entirely voluntary and no coaches are allowed to assist or watch. Players coordinate the times and places, but the workouts usually take pace on Tuesday and Thursday nights.
