Elijah McAllister
Elijah transferred from Vandy to AU and provides immediate depth at a position that lacked experience and depth. The edge spot. He’s a big bodied edge player that isn’t particularly dynamic but can rush the passer and set the edge as well. With the lack of experience any transfer edge would have been a blessing. One with experience in conference is a huge plus. He knows the ins and outs of the long season an SEC schedule can be. He was a captain on the Vandy squad and will probably be a team leader at AU as well however I doubt he will be a captain.
Elijah is not a 15 sack a season guy or doesn’t appear to be but he fills one of the biggest needs the roster has at the edge position. Behind him will be Dylan Brooks and Faulk so McAllister seems like a great guy to motivate these younger players. Team leaders and positional leaders are incredibly important to a new staff and even tho he’s a new comer I expect him to fill that role as well. I expect McAllister to start at Edge.

Mosiah Nasili-Kite
Kite comes to AU from Maryland. He is a big body for the interior DL. I’m expecting him to play the NT spot or the 0 tech. I’m not sure if that is where the coaches want him so I’m speculating a little. He’s 6’2” 300 lbs so for me that puts him at the nose. Hunker down and be immovable. Anyway, Kite plays with good pad level but isn’t much of a pass rusher. From the small amount of film I have watched he appears to be gap sound. I have high hopes for Kite to bring experience and good sound play to the interior DL. I know we have a lot of Jayson Jones fans around but I expect someone to push Jones for the starting spot. I’d throw Kite right into the mix for a possible starting role.
