- Leatherwood or Baker at RT?
- One the receivers?
- Buggs on the DL I'd assume?
- Harris at RB?

I think Ruggs will be a starter from day one and expect him to be our returner.
I won't be surprised is McDonald or Mckinney force their way into the lineup on defense. They are both ball hawks. A knack for taking the football will get you on the field
Harris is a given. Buggs is a safe bet. Tua is going to play, even if it's just mop up. The tight ends could push for PT. Hentges is solid but not spectacular

Everyone seems to rave about Leatherwood. Would be awesome to have him slide in and duplicate (or come close) to Jonah's season at RT last year and have you two together at the bookends for a couple of years.

We'll be replacing our RG as well. We've got a lot of depth along the offensive line. Lots of talent already on campus. I would only expect one of Leaherwood/Baker to start
If any of the pups at linebacker show a knack for getting to the QB I'd expect them to play situationally. Moses could be a candidate there due to his athleticism

Yea - my expectation was one of our 10 returning 4-star guys would take a step and take over the position.

I know what everyone thinks will happen at tackle and they are probably right but Leatherwood will definitely get an opportunity at LT from what I hear. He is too good to sit either way. We will be young but potentially very good at tackle.
We need Buggs to be what we think he is. It is an understatement too.
Ruggs will at worst be a demon on special teams. He is elite but he will have to work.
There is more than one linebacker that will crack heads on kickoffs imo with Moses likely to crack the 2 deep.
The kicker here is that we will again put a true freshman on the field at quarterback. Smart money is on Tua but I like the underdog. With Jones now going through the spring I like him to see the field first based on reports.

Based on what reports? Tua will be there in the spring too

I have to stop and remind myself our 2nd string LB corp this year were all 5 star recruits too....

Some think if Baker takes RT and Williams moves to LT Leatherwood may get tried at G.

I think Shavers will make some plays. Early enrollee, 6'6 ft, and can run like a deer. He should see the field early. I would love to see him get a few fades in goal line situations.

I read a couple of stories today. One from his former coach and one that I can't share here. I obviously am just giving my opinion that he will see the field before Tua. Doesn't really matter but recruiting rankings at quarterback are subjective to say the least. Barnett was ranked higher than Jalen. Our scout guy said Tua struggled with accuracy during all star week. I think Jones is more accurate and may compliment an innacurate Hurts. Gonna be a big spring.

Heard he runs like a 4.38...and his high school coach said he was the best he'd ever seen at that level...Jeudy and Ruggs could push for playing time at WR too...gonna be interesting to see what Sark does...

I watched jones highlights a month or two ago and I really like him. Thrown on the run well and can throw the deep ball.

He did indeed run it once with the wind to his back. Scouts have said he is a very good athlete but that he consistently runs in the 4.5 range. I am excited about this kid but the top priority for the staff was Henry Ruggs and you will see why. He will probably be our kick returner too. Kid is fast. Real fast.
