Introduce your team's offensive skill positions/players to the SECRant

Posted on 8/15/13 at 8:46 am
This thread is intended to be educational in nature. Most of us are familiar with our own team intimately and only generally familiar with the other guys. If this works, we can do offensive line, defensive line and defensive skill positions as the season approaches.
Auburn
QB - Right now it is a battle of superb athlete who has a cannon for an arm in Nick Marshall and true freshman Jeremy Johnson who is more of the ideal size and pocket passer type QB who can run a little. I expect NM's maturity and experience to win a close race to start. His athleticism, escapability and ability to make big plays with his feet will be important for this team.
RB - Returning starter and 1000 yard rusher Tre Mason will get plenty of touches and be a primary part of Auburn's offense. Newcomer and JUCO transfer Cameron Artis Payne will also get lots of touches and an opportunity to become the feature back. While both Mason and CAP are every down type backs, CAP has more ideal size than Mason, while Mason has experienced success already at RB in the SEC.
Cory Grant and true freshman Jonathan "Rudy" Ford, who has been impressive in fall practice, will likely get carries as the speed back in Gus' offense.
FB/HB - Jay Prosch, among the best in the SEC and country, will play almost every meaningful down in packages using a FB, assuming he stays injury free. CJ Uzomah, exceptional athlete who played QB at times in HS, will back up Prosch at FB and play all over the field at HB, TE and Wide out.
TE - Uzomah and Brandon Fulse will get most snaps at tight end and also be used as receivers in some packages. Both were highly recruited players that have shown small flashes and are expected to take a step forward this season to fill the roll Lutzenkirchen played for AU in the past.
WR - This is a very congested position with a lot of very talented but unproven players fighting for playing time and catches. Quan Bray, talented player out of Georgia and leading returning receiver, seems to be the primary guy right now. Speedster Sammie Coats will get plenty of opportunities, as will Ricardo Louis (who has had a couple of good scrimmages this fall), Jaylon Denson, Trovon Reed, and true freshmen Tony Stevens and Marcus Davis.

QB: Jr. Justin Worley will start the season. 4* true frosh Josh Dobbs or 3* true frosh Riley Ferguson will be starting by season's end imo.
RB: Same as last year. Rajion Neal and Marlin Lane will split carries here. Neal is faster, Lane probably better vision and patience. Neither are elite SEC backs but both are more than serviceable. Neal was on pace for 1K yard season prior to his injury last year. With the same group blocking for them, I'd expect similar results.
TE: This will be an extreme weakness for our team in all likelihood. Earlier in camp a walk-on was running with the 1s here.
WR: MarQuez North, who was the #2 WR in the nation behind Treadwell last year, is expected to start game 1 on the outside. He has been arguably the best player regardless of class so far in fall camp. Pig Howard, a sophomore who played a small role as a true frosh will get the start in the slot.
The other outside receiver could be true frosh Josh Smith, redshirt frosh Jason Croom, or any number of guys. Very crowded list of young guys who are unproven at this position. I think this will be a strength this time next year though.

QB - AJ McCarron. I guess Alec Morris is the backup. Has a huge arm and is kind of fat. Freddie Kitchens 2.0. Then a bunch of freshmen.
RB - Tj Yeldon. Kenyon Drake, Jalston Fowler, Dee Hart, Derrick Henry. Guessing the other freshmen will be redshirted.
WR - Amari Cooper, Christion Jones, Kevin Norwood, and Kenny Bell all have significant experience. Deandrew White is back from injury and showed promise last year before his injury. Robert Foster is the freshman everyone is excited to see. Feel like I'm forgetting a couple. WR is VERY crowded on the roster.

QB- The HBC has two very capable quarterbacks in Connor Shaw and Dylan Thompson. Connor is a good athlete, and is not a bad passer he will be our starter. Dylan is the better passer of the two but is no slouch and is more elusive than he is given credit for and will play this year in some form or fashion.
RB- USC has a very good stable of RBs Mike Davis, Brandon Wilds, and Shon Carson. Not to mention a very talented true freshman David Williams. Mike Davis will be the starter but Brandon Wilds and Shon Carson will play. Brandon Wilds became the starter in 2011 after Lattimore Shon Carson and Kenny Miles went down with injuries.
TE- This is a very good group. IMHO we have the best TEs in the country. Busta Anderson is a big strong player that can block and all he does is catch Touchdowns he is the starter. Busta has 27 receptions for 10 Touchdowns. Then here comes Jerell Adams 6-foot-6 240 lbs can catch and run like a deer. We also have Drew Owens 6-foot-6 250 very athletic fell behind on the depth chart because of an injury last season. Look for the TEs to make a lot of plays this year and our offense using a lot of two tightend sets.
WR- Starters Bruce Ellington, Nick Jones and Shaq Roland or Damiere Byrd. A lot of talent and speed, but Roland has to prove himself as a sophomore and show why he was a 5* product and former Mr. Football winner for the state of SC. Shamier Jeffery is also trying to make a name for himself this year and get from underneath the shadow his big brother cast (Alshon).

Florida:
QB - Junior Jeff Driskel is the clear cut starter. He is big (6'4, 235) and can make plays running the ball. He actually was the 2nd leading rusher on the team last year and had over 400 yards and 4 TD. He completed 64% of his passes last year, and although he was tentative at times as a first year starter, all reports out of camp is that he is in total command of the team and the offense. He is backed up by JuniorTyler Murphy, a dual threat QB that's done well as a back up, but has never thrown a pass in a live game situation.
RB - Sophomore Matt Jones has been completely in command of the #1 RB position, and even though he is sick and missing camp right now, he is still the clear cut starter once he returns. He had 275 on 53 carries last year and 3 TD. He is BIG and physical (6'2, 226). He is a one cut runner and has good speed for his size. Junior Mack Brown and Freshman Kelvin Taylor are battling it out for the #2 position. Both are over 210 pounds and strong. Brown is more of a straight ahead runner, and Taylor is a physical back who is extremely quick in space and can make people miss. Taylor is projected to win the #2 spot. He's a special talent.
FB - Hunter Joyer will spend most of the time in the FB position. He is one of the best blocking FB's in the SEC. He isn't used much to run or catch passes, he is generally used just to block.
TE - Florida has 4 TE's that are battling for playing time. Tevin Westrbook and Clay Burton are the big, massive blocking TE's. They won't catch many passes, but they are both big, strong, accomplished blockers in the running game (260+). RS Freshman Kent Taylor is more of a hybrid pass catcher and is still struggling with blocking, but is fast and a match up issue for TE in the passing game. At 6'5, 224 he makes an ideal target in the passing game. That being said, RS Freshman Colin Thompson seems to be the guy that can both block and catch and will probably be on the field most of all at this point. He is 6'3, 252, and he can run, catch, and block.
WR - The position is stronger this year than last year. RS Junior Quinton Dunbar has stepped up as a clear #1 WR for this team. He is big and physical at 6'1, 195 pounds and while he doesn't scare you deep, he is tough to cover on short and intermediate routes. Senior Trey Burton, who is a tough match up in the slot at 6'2, 225, will catch a lot of short passes and will also probably still be used all over the field. Senior Solomon Patton is a little speedster that has stepped up a lot this year. He will be used a lot in reverses and jet sweeps, but will also catch passes this year. Two newcomers will make a huge impact this year. True Freshman Demarcus Robinson is 6'2, 200 pounds and will start opposite Quinton Dunbar. He is fast, and a big time playmaker. He will make a big impact on UF's passing game right away. True Freshman Ahamd Fulwood has also made his presence known, and at 6'5, 190 gives UF a big, aggressive target in the passing game. He will play a lot right away for Florida. Sophomores Lattroy Pittman, Raphael Andrades, and true freshman Alvin Bailey will add depth to what could be a sneaky good receiving corp for the gators in 2013.

Can we do defense instead 
QB - Jeff Driskel - Top recruit of his class, has the arm and running ability to be a threat to any team, but his head hasn't been right yet. Doesn't progress reads, doesn't feel pocket collapsing, doesn't throw receivers open. He has a ton of upside, but right now he's average.
RB - Matt Jones - Stud. Beginning of last year he had a hard time just taking what the defense gives. He danced around to much instead of just getting through the hole. Once he learned, he became a threat instantly. Speed and Power. He finally started getting carries towards the end, see his 81 yards vs FSU. Kid should be a stud.
FB - Hunter Joyer - Top 3 fullback in the country.
WR - Q Dunbar - Good player. Not exactly what you want for your number 1 wide out though. Good blocker for sure downfield though really helps the run game.
WR- L Pittman - Not sure if he starts or not still don't know what's going on with Debose going down. Coaches praise him so he may be good.
WR - Demarcus Robinson - I think he starts as a true freshman. He may be the best playmaker on the offense by the end of the season.
F back - Trey Burton - Mister do it all. One of my favorite Gators. Works hard, does his job well. Really a good x factor for us.
TE - Clay Burton - I suspect he starts because he blocks well. Really worried about TE this season.
Offense should be better than last year. Still iffy on it though. Hopefully the same gameplan works. Don't turn it over, control the clock, and wear down the other team by brute force.

Texas A&M
QB - I believe you all know Mr. Manziel. The question mark is his number 2. We've got Matt Joeckel (JR, Luke Joeckels twin) who is a moderately talented pocket passer, Matt Davis: pretty big dual threat guy who red shirted last year, didnt look hot in the spring game but he is still a playmaker, and Kenny Hill: true freshman, another dual threat playmaker who I actually believe will win the backup role despite only going through fall camp. Hill ran a very similar offense in HS and our coaches say he knows how to operate the no-huddle without shouting or giving anything away to the defense.
RB - Returning starter Ben Malena is currently penciled in at no. 1 but I don't expect that to mean much. Ben is one of the hardest working guys on the team and a big leader but "behind him" are two 5* studs. Trey Williams is extremely talented and played really well last year as a frosh but i think the real story is Brandon Williams. He is a transfer from OU so he sat out all last year but everything points to him being our guy. We also have an Oregon transfer Tra Carson, who will be the short yards guy, a big bruiser at ~230 lbs.
TE - Returner Nehamiah Hicks has never been a star but coaches are excited about his progression, especially as a blocker. Next is Cameron Clear a Juco player whos been on campus since spring, he's 6'6 and ~270 lbs and just looks like the single biggest man I've ever seen. Very skilled blocker and we plan on using this guy a lot to create mismatches with our other skyscraping recievers.
WR - Interesting position with tons of talent but very young, look out for our WRs in the next years as they progress. Mike Evans (6'5) will be our obvious #1, Kalcome Kennedy is almost guarenteed to start too. Behind them the competition gets interesting. 5* frosh Ricky Seals-Jones will almost certainly play a ton at 6'5 240 lbs with freakish size-defying athletical abilities. Ja'Quay Williams (6'4) arrived last spring and looks promising. Sebastian Larue and Laquiviante Gonzalez are both speed demons who will get playing time but also work on special times as returners. Derel Walker and Sabian holmes looked very improved in spring ball. RS(FR) Edward Pope (6'4) Co-offensive MVP of scout team last year, played very well in spring as well.
SUMMARY:
QB: Hesiman winner up front, but need a solid backup.
RBs: deep and talented stable, expect A LOT of rotation between Malena and both the Williams.
TE/WR: Only two good vets and lots of top young talent. VERY TALL. We could potentially play 3 guys at once who are all 6'5.

QB - Aaron Murray is the starter, obviously. He should break all the meaningful SEC career passing records this season. Hutson Mason will be the backup and will start next year. He would start for several SEC teams and is capable of getting the job done. The other QBs are Christian Lemay, Brice Ramsey, Faton Bauta, and Parker Welch.
RB - Todd Gurley and Keith Marshall. Gurley needs no introduction; he's a monster. Marshall is fast as shite will play with more weight this year, and that should help him. He was no slouch last year either. The third RB will be either A.J. Turman, J.J. Green, or Brendan Douglas.
FB - Quayvon Hicks is going to destroy people. He's a beast. He had numerous BCS scholarship offers as a DE coming out of HS. He now has a year in the system and should be good to go. He will be backed up by Merritt Hall, last year's starter.
WR - Malcolm Mitchell will be the most dangerous target. Michael Bennett is very reliable and was emerging as Murray's go-to guy before his injury last year. Chris Conley has the best hands on the team. Jonathan Rumph is a JUCO transfer who has all the tools if he can get the playbook down. He's 6'5", so he should be useful in the redzone at least. Rantavious Wooten is a smaller, quicker receiver who is very effective when healthy. He got in a car wreck last year that has caused some lingering concussion issues that UGA is being very careful with. Blake Tibbs and freshman Tramel Terry, depending on his injury recovery, could also contribute.
TE - Arthur Lynch and Jay Rome. Lynch is preseason 1st team All-SEC. Great blocker, solid receiver. I actually think Rome is a better receiver. He's a great athlete and uses his basketball background to position himself well. He was the top TE in the nation in HS and played for the UGA hoops team as a freshman. He needs to improve some as a blocker.

State
QB
Tyler Russell (Senior) - Threw for 2,900 yards and 24 TD passes. Looked a little shaky the last two games.
Dak Prescott (Sophomore) - The future. Big and can run, prototypical QB for Mullen's read option offense. Threw for 500 yards and 4 TD's last year. Rushed for 130 yards and 4 TD's. Scored 8 times in a limited role. Should see playing time increase this year to prep taking over the reigns next year.
I would feel comfortable if something happened to Russell, I feel like Prescott is ready.
RB
Very deep position for State
Ladarius Perkins - (Senior) Rushed for 1,100 yards and 8 TD's last year. More of a scat back, also has good hands out of the backfield.
Josh Robinson - 5'9" 225 lb Sophomore Downhill runner, Rushed for 350 yards and a TD last year.
Nick Griffin - 6' 225 lb Junior. Was our best runner until getting hurt last year. Averaged 7 yds a carry. Rushed for 235 yards and a TD last year.
Derrick Milton - 6' 210 lb Sophomore. Had a fumble in the LSU game, didn't really see the field much after that. Rushed for 200 yds and a TD.
Ashton Shumpert - 6'2 215 lb Freshman. Been a monster in Fall Camp, not sure if he redshirts but is a major talent who will factor into the lineup if he doesn't take a redshirt year.
Someone else take it from here.
QB
Tyler Russell (Senior) - Threw for 2,900 yards and 24 TD passes. Looked a little shaky the last two games.
Dak Prescott (Sophomore) - The future. Big and can run, prototypical QB for Mullen's read option offense. Threw for 500 yards and 4 TD's last year. Rushed for 130 yards and 4 TD's. Scored 8 times in a limited role. Should see playing time increase this year to prep taking over the reigns next year.
I would feel comfortable if something happened to Russell, I feel like Prescott is ready.

I'll go
Ole Miss
QB:
Really it's Bro Wallace and everybody else right now. If brunetti has to play meaningful minutes at QB it will be a long long year. Devante Kincade is the QB of the future but as a true fresh I doubt he's ready b
RB:
Jeff Scott will start the season and that's all that's really known about our RB situation. I expected all summer for I'tavious Mathers and Mark Dodson to begin usurping Scott but since fall camp has started I've heard so many great things about Kailo Moore and Jordan Wilkins. One of our insiders going as far as comparing them to Cadillac Williams and Deuce McCallister.
TE:
We fricked. Our 4* freshman is out for the season (I think) and our starter Even Ingram is very undersized. We won't be using a TE much this year IMO.
WR:
Stacked. MONCRIEF returns of course and will probably break 1 or 2 rebel receiving records this season. J. Logan is solid and true freshmen Quincy attayboyyo and Laquon Treadwell have shown out all camp. We did lose Vince sanders to a broken collar bone for a few weeks but he will be back by A&M I believe.

LSU
QB - Zach Mettenberger will start and look to improve under new offensive coordinator, Cam Cameron. Stephen Rivers is the likely backup, but could be challenged by true freshman Anthony Jennings for the starting job next year. Jennings could possibly be called upon this year to run a read-option type package in certain situations.
RB - LSU's running back corps may lack some of the depth that it's had in years past, considering that Jeremy Hill was suspended from late April to early August and may need to work himself back in shape. He may still face further suspension from Coach Miles (a 1 to 3 game suspension seems to be what is being floated around). Senior Alfred Blue returns after missing most of last season with a knee injury. Kenny Hilliard has apparently lost a significant amount of weight and will look to improve on his 2012 season. Junior Terrence Magee, a small but powerful runner, will likely see significant playing time also. Freshman Jeryl Brazil, who was recruited as a defensive back, has also been getting some work in at running back.
FB - Senior J.C. Copeland will be the primary lead blocker out of the I-formation. Connor Neighbors should also see some time at fullback as a more athletic, pass-catching type back. Freshman Melvin Jones has apparently been moved from linebacker to fullback and will likely be Copeland's replacement next year.
TE - LSU's tight ends have been used primarily as blockers for the past couple seasons, but may be used more in the offense under Cameron. Travis Dickson is the only returning tight end to have made a reception last year and is the likely starter. Junior college transfer Logan Stokes and true freshman DeSean Smith are both big, athletic guys who could also work their way into significant playing time.
WR - Speedy receivers Odell Beckham and Jarvis Landry are two proven weapons returning from last year. Junior college transfer Quantavius Leslie and redshirt freshman Travin Dural, who missed last season due to a knee injury suffered in fall camp, look to give LSU two receivers with size and speed, which was lacking last year. Kadron Boone and James Wright may see a reduced role this year as freshmen John Diarse and Avery Peterson will push them for playing time.
