How much does he play in '13?

Not much, if at all.

Most likely will redshirt.

 

[sparkyND]

Welcome!!! So excited about this kid! Just love being Irish these days.

 

[Me2SouthBend]

Congrats on making a great lifetime decision. Can't wait for Mr. Folston to don the Blue and Gold.

 

[pumpdog20]

This is awesome!

 

[ThePiombino]

Welcome, Mr. Folston! God we're loading up.

 

[BeauBenken]

You know how you feel even better about this pick up? By reading the NDatRivals tweets about Folston doing well in pass coverage. Had a 1-on-1 interception and a goal line pass breakup.

Welcome aboard young man.

I'm sorry man but there is no possibly way anyone can say this with any semblance of certainty. We are losing our top 2 backs and then will have the great luxury of having a stable of Folston, Bryant, Carlisle, Atkinson, Mahone and McDaniel battling it out for carries in '13. No one can know right now how that will play out, but I think the one thing we can be sure of happening is that the competition will bring out the best in all of them.

 

[Irish Man3]

Great pick up

 

[NDohio]

Love his comment about willing to share carries as long as the job gets done. Great announcement today. LOVE IT!!!!

 

[AdmiralBackhand]

I love coming back to IE to see this. I thought he was going to announce a bit later in the day. Great news!

 

[WakeUpEchoes]

Would love for Folston to develop into a great flex player for us, like Theo this year. Been reading some 'bama player interviews. They say Theo provides serious matchup problems when he moves into slot. Can't wait!

Not to pile on, but adding to Ironman8's comments, Folston is a tremendously versatile athlete. Even if he fails to win any offensive carries in 2013, he's very likely to end up on ST. I don't think a redshirt is in his future.

Should we burn a redshirt just to put him on special teams? Unless he can crack the 4 man RB rotation we use, I don't think he should waste a year catching a few punts or kick returns.

Watching his film, he was a beast on kickoffs...loves to hit!

Sounds similar to Devonte. Not sure how many offensive plays he got this year, but couldn't have been many.
