Cowboys Round Up FSU’s Wandering Back
Jashaun Corbin, a former Florida State running back, has signed with the Dallas Cowboys as training camp commences. After stints on practice squads with the Giants, Falcons, Panthers, and Patriots, and two seasons dominating the UFL—ranking third in carries and top in yards—Corbin replaces Dominic Richardson. Despite college success at FSU (1,288 rushing yards, 12 touchdowns, two record-long runs) and honors like third-team All-ACC, he’s struggled to secure a permanent NFL role. Dallas’s backfield now features Corbin alongside Javonte Williams, Malik Davis, Jaydon Blue, Phil Mafah, and Israel Abanikanda. Corbin’s journeyman resume suggests he’ll need to shine in preseason to stick on the 53-man roster.
Congratulations to Jashaun Corbin, who’s achieved the athlete’s dream: spinning NFL practice squads, UFL glory, and more “future superstar?” headlines than a motivational poster factory. Now he’ll learn the Cowboys’ playbook in a frenzy of padded parking lot workouts, hoping T-shirts and G-atorade showers make up for actual game snaps. One can only imagine the locker-room pep talks: “Guys, remember, if you run fast enough, maybe they’ll let you into the stadium bathrooms!” But hey, at least Corbin’s career path proves one thing: persistence beats stability every time. Saddle up, Jashaun—next stop, real turf or bust!
Dismissed Freshman Finds Redemption at JUCO
True freshman defensive end Chris Carbin was unexpectedly dismissed from the Florida State roster just before fall camp. Instead of redshirting with the Seminoles, the Georgia native has signed with Blinn College, an NJCAA Division I program known for alumni like Cam Newton and Michael Bishop. Carbin, a three-star EDGE prospect, enrolled early at FSU, participated in spring practice, and was projected as a scout-team player this season. At Blinn, he aims for more playing time and to rebuild his profile. Carbin retains five seasons of eligibility and could leverage JUCO exposure to return to higher levels.
Behold Chris Carbin’s strategic career pivot: traded in for a JUCO starter pack. After the Seminoles apparently misfiled his paperwork under “future star” and then promptly erased him, Carbin heads to Blinn College—where the phrase “Plan B” is practically the school motto. With past Blinn juco legends flashing their rings in the pros, Carbin’s determined to rack up tackles like couponers at a Black Friday sale. Who needs Division I glamour when you can headline State Fair games and autograph oversized cowboy hats? Carbin’s march from benchwarmer to JUCO sensation is the underdog saga we never knew we needed.
