(Okay, so I made a bit
of a screw up with my chronological order yesterday and listed the Sean
Brackett fumble first, even though it actually occurred a few minutes AFTER the
moment I’m about to describe below. Sorry about that.)
Seyi Adebayo’s
sheer athleticism has been amazing to everyone on campus ever since his first
visit to Columbia.
So it was understandable why so many people in and around
the program were excited to see what Adebayo could do as he slowly improved
each year going into his senior season in 2012.
On Marist’s second possession early in the season opener, we
all got a glimpse of what could have been.
On 3rd and 8 at the Red Fox 22, Adebayo burst
through the line and brought down Marist QB Chuckie Looney for an eight yard
loss.
But it was to be Adebayo’s one and only sack of the game and
the season. Later in the game he tore his ACL while he was on punt coverage and
was lost for the rest of the season.
Who knows what a healthy Adebayo could have done to help the
Lion defense in 2012, but thanks to a very strong recovery in the offseason,
Adebayo does look ready to pick up where he left off and then some during this
5th year of eligibility.
He’s one of about 3-4 Lions who are really under the radar
coming into the season and will not be considered by the pundits when they make
their preseason predictions.

What do you hear about our scrimmaging Layafette?
Pardon the typo Should be Lafayette.
This is directed at an earlier post, hasn't Ragone (penn QB) played the last 4 years, per the penn website, but you mention home coming back. Is there clarification?
Ragone played only 3 games in 2009. He's a 5th year senior this fall.
Thanks Jake!
