CSU QB Richard Mounce Will Not Return
"I've been involved in athletics since I was 6 years old and I have always enjoyed competing, but it's time to move on to the next thing in life," Mounce said. "I have an opportunity to graduate in May, and while I know I will miss football, I feel like God is leading me in a different direction at this point in my life."
Best wishes to Richard Mounce in all of his future endeavors. He is a talented athlete, but more imporantly a great young man who has life in proper perspective."I had an awesome time being a part of this football program and this university, and I will always remember CSU as a special place," said Mounce. "I chose CSU for a reason and I have no regrets. I know this program will do fine. I will miss the guys and the coaches a lot. There are a lot of great people associated with this team. I will be pulling hard for them."
I am disappointed in seeing him graduate and move on. Our offense really took off after he was inserted as the starter this year. The guy was a warrior and demonstrated a strong, accurate arm with excellent decision making and leadership abilities.
I hope there is a plan in place and someone capable of leading the offense next year, or maybe a transfer. The previous starter to Richard Mounce was Malcolm Dixon and I am not confident in his abilities at all. He does not appear to be smart enough or make the decisions necessary to be an effective QB. He has skills that would be better suited as a WR, like he was when he started his career at CSU. He came in as a WR and transitioned to a QB. IMO, he should go back to being a WR.
In addition to Richard Mounce and Malcolm Dixon (SO - 2 years remaining), we have these QBs on the roster...
Briar Van Brunt - 6-3 - 195 - FR - Warner Robbins, GA - Northside HS
Derek Hatcher - 6-1 - 180 - R-So. - Orange Park, FL - Ridgeview HS
