New Commit: Bertrand Berry 6'1 215 DE/OLB Highland HS AZ

Other offers: Concordia College

Notes: Son of former NFL player Bertrand Berry

Bertrand Berry attended the University of Notre Dame and was a four-year letterman in football. He finished his NCAA football career with 187 tackles and 16.5 sacks.

Berry was selected by the Indianapolis Colts in the third round of the 1997 NFL Draft, starting out as a linebacker before switching to defensive end.

He spent most of his time there playing between defense and special teams, starting most of the games on defense. He signed with the St. Louis Rams in 2000, but was cut during training camp.

He signed with the Edmonton Eskimos of the Canadian Football League on September 26, 2000, on October 11 after seeing action in two games. He recorded one tackle in his two appearances.
[
By the 2003 season with the Denver Broncos, he was the starter at defensive end and led the team in tackles and sacks. He was picked up as a free agent by Arizona before the 2004 season, during which he was named as a starter to represent the NFC in the 2005 Pro Bowl.

On March 18, 2009, Berry agreed to a one-year contract.

On January 21, 2010, Berry announced his retirement from the NFL. He finished his career with 232 total tackles, 65 sacks and 13 forced fumbles.

I know the Paul has written about the bright future for Scroggins, but, the constant "we are going to bring in some dudes to supports these young guys", would make me want to hit the portal out of disrespect if I was either Scoggins or Manyang.

Agree vu72. Getting old. Slam on those two.

I'm viewing this differently. Scroggins has been described as a project player and a project is a project no matter what bench in D-1 he is coming off of. I have no inside knowledge on Manyang but I'll speculate that whatever medical issues followed him here may continue. If those characterizations are accurate then where will either go to find big minutes? Meanwhile if Powell brings in a one year impact center who averages 24 minutes per game then I could see significant development minutes for both during the 24-25 season. I am obviously viewing 24-25 as another team development year where reaching 17 or more victories would be a huge step but can we realistically expect much better?

I found this kind of interesting. Indiana State made 9 threes in the first half and the Beacons made 4 threes but neither team made any threes in the second half.

Then why were they brought in to begin with?

Wouldn't have minded seeing Palm and Ola play together when Schweiger was out.

We don't have horses to win, not enough depth on the bench. Out of gas again. Hung around for 30 minutes. Scheweiger was largely ineffective tonight. Lay up drill for ISU in the second half. Palm gave it his best effort.

The final score doesn't tell the tale of this game. We played amazing for 30 mins. They are a good team and shot very well from the field and perfect from the stripe. The coach is working this team and the team is responding.
