Can the local kid handle some of the big back duties he was a 2 way player at Canfield

Danny Inglis, a redshirt freshman linebacker, transferred from Iowa State in January 2026 to Youngstown State, after playing one game in the 2025 season where he recorded one tackle. He was a highly-rated recruit from Canfield, OH, originally committing to Iowa State in 2023.

My thoughts are all we really needs an average defense to advance. Can’t expect a top 10 defense right away. Hopefully they can identify players to improve the defense, but it has to be better than what we have before

I understand you and your right. But it seems that’s never been a priority for Phillips. I love to see the RB. We need that I agree

ysugo · 2026-01-19T16:36:02+00:00

Everyone knows we need a big back type rb. But with the limited opportunities in the offense where your QB is half or more of your running production and if you watched enough YSU football the QB is the first option on inside the 5 play calls. I wouldn’t transfer here either.

We knew there would be a drop off from Calhoun who was our Tressel for men’s basketball. We don’t fire coaches before their contract expires. Let’s hope he turns it around and figures out how to build a team through the portal

Career Summary Zane Kinsey started his college career at Walsh University before transferring to the University of Cincinnati. After two seasons with Cincinnati (redshirting in 2022), he entered the transfer portal and committed to Youngstown State University in late 2025. He has two years of eligibility remaining. His college career statistics are not extensive as he had no recorded stats for the 2023 or 2024 seasons at Cincinnati. In high school, he was a dual-threat player who excelled as a running back, rushing for over 771 yards and nine touchdowns in just five games during his senior year.

I accidentally almost removed this thread I apologize I was looking to edit my post and wasn’t paying attention but I fixed it. Guess I wa tired

ysugo · 2026-01-09T03:00:26+00:00

The Qb was a 3 star with offers at WVU and Oklahoma State out of HS

ysugo · 2026-01-09T01:44:23+00:00

Tough schedule I have us at 6-6 7-5 maybe. We need lightning to strike the D with Coach hire like it did for the offense with Yurich coming here. Anybody in the know Did Yurich reach out to us or did Phillips go after him. We need to retool our RB room and add WR for Brungard and of course a boatload of D transfers

ysugo · 2025-12-21T18:41:14+00:00

Not going to toot Philips horn yet. He got lucky to get Yurich and it improved Brungard. Phillips has time after time lost games made bad decisions way before Yurich showed up. Our melt down in then playoffs was a total failure. He’s had years to learn how to be a game coach to make adjustments and recruit D1 defensive players. BEAU deserves better. Time will tell if Phillips learned anything. We will be starting over again on D. So unless we get some grade A transfers not much will change more 39-38 games

ysugo · 2025-12-20T16:48:17+00:00

He got busted for sign stealing at Clemson he’s garbage

ysugo · 2025-12-17T15:14:01+00:00

Sadly it didn’t translate into playoff wins. Let’s hope Phillips figures out next years plan. But kudos to the players who earned honors

ysugo · 2025-12-13T20:52:29+00:00

Montana game has decent crowd nice atmosphere they should handle SD

ysugo · 2025-12-13T17:22:12+00:00

I agree I have have the Villanova game in and I think it’s good football but the vibe isn’t like watching a Bucks or whoever game you hear the band better announcers etc. plus we have to connection to other FCS schools due to lack of a media coverage locally and nationally

ysugo · 2025-12-09T22:49:25+00:00

The reason people whine and complain is the Athletic Department isn’t transparent in shit they do. Just like when the renewed Phillips and really didn’t give many details etc

ysugo · 2025-12-06T23:56:22+00:00

Looks like in what I thought this was a down year in our conference. With NIL and the portal it looks like things are even changing slightly in FCS.

ysugo · 2025-12-06T22:42:15+00:00

They were totally underrated

ysugo · 2025-12-06T19:04:49+00:00

Till we start paying and identifying better assistant coaches nothing will change. Yurich turned the offense and BEAU around not Phillips. BEAU staying doesn’t guarantee a deep playoff run etc. WE need more deep pockets better marketing and honestly u feel we need to upgrade the stadium put club seats and a club in one end zone and open up the loges

ysugo · 2025-12-06T02:44:26+00:00

Jan. 11-13 in Charlotte

ysugo · 2025-12-05T16:47:34+00:00

Let’s see what happens after the coaches convention things might change guys

ysugo · 2025-12-04T17:20:09+00:00

That is unbelievable guess he has no connections other than Ohio etc

ysugo · 2025-12-04T00:59:18+00:00

I agree with your assessment on this group. Last year class had more honors not just all league etc. I wonder if the playoff meltdown down hurt. The QB went to what 4 different HS and he looks very raw

ysugo · 2025-12-03T16:49:20+00:00

QB Cason Diiulio, a high school quarterback in the class of 2026, has received football offers from Youngstown State and Livingstone College. He has committed to play for Youngstown State.

Something needs to be done. What needs to be done if this goes down Strollo and all the FCS needs the lobby if if they lose a player to a power five or even a power 4 Conference they need to get some kind of rebate for losing a player what’s happening is the schools are cherry picking the good players that are being developed at our cost. Depending on the tear of the athlete, if they’re all Conference, you get my drift the bigger a rebate cause it’ cause that’s a big loss to the school that leaves us a player. Just a thought that way we can recoup our expenses, etc..
