As in, who makes a name for himself like a Quinnen Williams or Terrance Cody? Any position is fine, not just DL. I have my eye on a couple of guys. On offense I think one of the running backs will be that guy, not sure which one. On defense it could be Dale but I have a feeling Patrick Surtain is gonna be a beast in coverage.

We really need one of the young inside linebackers, to step it up.

I think "we" all know about DJ Dale, but the rest of the country will know by Nov.

I agree on BR. Young man has been very patient in a loaded backfield for 2yrs. No doubt he has the talent.

Plus... always like to see the homegrown talent be successful.

I could certainly be wrong, but Benton and Moody seem to have a higher ceiling than Lee. I fear Lee's too stocky and not long enough. But we'll see.

Shane Lee

We need him to be a run stuffer.

DL: LaBryan Ray is my guess. He's already shown flashes and now I think he shines in a full time role this year.

My super secret hidden gem is Christian Barmore. Raw coming out of high school, but showed the potential to be a force. Was a 2018 scout team "star" (just like Q. Williams before the whole nation got to witness his dominance).

LB: Shane Lee for ILB, but I also think McMillon will be solid.

OLB: Chris Allen will play a lot, and deservedly so. This kid will get after the quarterback. Period. I know losing Anoma hurts, but I am admittedly biased towards southern kids and I think Allen will end up being the better player. These kids from LA, AL, and FL just seem to have a different "toughness" to them.

DB: Surtain isn't a gem, he's already a baller and a likely first round pick when his time comes. Jobe on the other hand is relatively unheard of in our league, and I expect him to have a very solid season. If Jobe is as good as advertised (Saban had very high remarks for him), I think our secondary could be really mean this year if we can let Jobe take an outside corner spot and move Diggs to Safety (in place of Mayden).

Im going to come out of left field with Jarez Parks. He's definitely hidden although he is a Top 100 247 guy.

You know, it wouldn't surprise me to see a young Olineman or 2 crack the 1st unit. We assume it will be:

Alex Leatherwood, Emil Ekiyor, Chris Owens, Matt Womack, Jedrick Wills

but it might not shake out that way. At minimum, I hope some youngsters make a valiant push for PT.

Jarez Parks. Partly thinking with my heart on this one. But I do think he will be solid
