Portland Schedule Almost Complete

Trappers to open schedule at Penn State

Portland, Maine - It was announced early today that Portland would open their inaugural season with a serious test, at Penn State. The Trappers will also travel to Syracuse at some point to face the Orange. In addition, Portland agreed to a home and home series in 2016 and 2017 with future C-USA foes Western Kentucky, Marshall, and North Texas as well as New Mexico State and Idaho from the Sun Belt conference. This leaves the Trappers with just two open spots on the schedule needing filled.

To anyone following along so far: First off let me start by saying thank you for following along. I know it's boring right now with no games being played, but I want to make sure I lay out everything during this first season. The games will come soon, I promise.

This has the makings of a great dynasty here, man. Looks good. I expect this one should last a good while.

Sucks you had to kick out my UAB Blazers though.

Thanks for checking in man, I hope to take this dynasty out to at least 10 seasons. Will probably need that long at least to make these guys national champions, my recruiting rules make sure of that. Sorry about kicking out your Blazers though, they were just the easy go to for kicking out a team

I actually really like it. I wish I had done something similar for Sonoma. It's fun that it really lays the groundwork

Recruiting Watch

Who are They?

Portland, Maine - We learned last week that the Trappers had 12 total commits so far in the 2015 recruiting cycle. You've already met 8 of them, here are the 4 newest signees;

Benjamin Martindale, 1* FB, Essex Junction, VT
Ben is the very definition of short and stocky at 5'9" and 222lbs. He has decent speed for a fullback and should help seal the edge on sweeps and toss plays. He may see time as a short yardage running back as well.
Scouts Initial Rating: 56ovr
Scouts Actual Rating: 53ovr

Mike Reid, 1* CB, Valley Falls, RI
Mike has good size for a corner at 6'1" and should match up well against any taller receivers he faces. Has the ability to go up and defend jump balls, as well as the speed to defend the deep passes. May see time as a return man as well.
Scouts Initial Rating: 55ovr
Scouts Actual Rating: 62ovr

Erik Morton, 1* WR, Utica, NY
Erik has the height to play the outside at 6'3". Needs to work on catching the ball, but can develop into a reliable number one target in a year or two.
Scouts Initial Rating: 53ovr
Scouts Actual Rating: 54ovr

Jarvis Hayes, JUCO 1* K/P, Tiverton, RI
Jarvis will come to campus as a Senior, having only one year of eligibility left. Has a strong leg, but struggles with his accuracy. Jarvis will likely handle the kicking and punting duties for the Trappers in 2016.
Scouts Initial Rating: 79ovr
Scouts Actual Rating: 79ovr
