Don't lose much on Offense: (2)

RT Free agent Brey Cook is being replaced by Dan Skipper who played at LG last year.

That created a musical chairs on the offensive line sending Denver Kirkland from RG to LT.

The new addition to the line is Frank Ragnow who played quite a bit as a true freshman last year, so overall our line should be better barring injury and the position moves turning out to be a good idea will be key.

2nd TE- 6th round pick AJ Derby who was injured during most of the end of the season when we started winning some games. Jeremy Sprinkle who played a lot towards the end of the season will be the 2nd TE. The talk is that Sprinkle will not be a drop off to the draft pick he is replacing, has bulked up a lot.

Defense:

DT: 6th round pick Darius Philon replaced by Bijhon Jackson. Jackson was the more celebrated recruit. Time to show it as a sophomore. Bigger but not as quick as Philon.

DE: 4th round pick Trey Flowers. Could be mulitple guys but my pick if he can stay healthy (which he never has) is RS Jr. Deatrick Wise.

SLB: Undrafted Braylon Mitchell to be replaced by unproven sophomore Khalia Hackett. (?) This position might only play 60% of downs, coming out in the nickel. Edit: no Williams will probably come out in the nickel so Hackett performing is key.

WLB: 5th round pick Martrell Spaight is being replaced by last year's MLB Ellis Brooks. Supposed to be a more natural position for him. Getting some accolades so we will see. Will be a junior and has started since early freshman year.

JC Senior Josh Williams will go to the MLB for Ellis. Williams didn't show much as a JC junior but neither did Spaight, but I wouldn't count on that happening with Williams.

S Free agent Alan Turner being replaced by Josh Liddell. Liddell played a lot as a true freshman, might be another lightly recruited surprise performer.



Long story short: Linebacker is a concern.

Forgot nickleback 6th round pick Tevin Mitchel will need to be replaced. Several candidates with playing experience for CBB to chose from.
