Someone give a guess on the two deep for OL and DL

I’m guessing Hamm is a starter along with Brahms.

The grad transfer will likely start, the healthy JUCO.

That leaves one spot for maybe Alex Jackson Or Sammons depending on whether Hamm is a guard or a tackle.

Seems like guard has a lot of competition.

Manning, Irvin, Stutts, and so on.

I'm going with
LT Zierer or Troxell
LG Jones
C braham
RG Council or Manning
RT Hamm

DL I think will be very deep, probably a 8-10 man rotation instead of the usual 6-8. A lot of the are capable of moving around so it’s hard for me to try to pinpoint 4 out. I know BigKat and Truesdell are starters but does BigKat start at BUCK or SDE? If he’s at the rush spot I can see TD, Handy, or Butler the top juco to compete for the SDE spot. I think those 2 jucos will impact a lot more than we expect. Both of them are very violent and can also get low and get pad leverage. Banks film is impressive to me for a DT, he excelled in run stopping and pass rushing and created turnovers. Butler dominated some of the top juco OTs when he was at independence CC. I could see Bulter starting at DE and BigKat,Hall,TD handle the rush spot. Banks Miller Hardy and Hall are the next players called up depending on which off the starters may be tired or something.

BigKat, Newkirk/Miller,Truesdell, Butler/TD

Hall/TD,Butler/Miller/Banks, Truesdell, BigKat/Handy

Plus there’s plenty more capable of doing something next season. Colby Wooden, Z.Walker(who could also potentially start I just feel the other guys have a tiny bit of a step on him atm but he’s definitely quality depth.

I just noticed on au's website they have JJ Pegues listed as 6'2 298

He will get his shot on offense. Gus is clearly excited about his potential on offense.

If he could be a road grader at HB like Eric Smith or Jay Prosche, that’d be a major weapon for the offense.

You have to think his move to DL is almost certain.

Careful, I suggested this when we were recruiting him and got lambasted.

With the extreme shortage of HB/TEs currently on the roster, I doubt they could spare moving him to the DL.

I too think the two JC transfers for the DL where huge. On the interior, behind Truesdell we have about 5 tackles between Newkirk and Miller. Newkirk poor guy, has been injured, but I dont know what Miller's issue is. He has been here two years now and little to show for it.

Zerier replies to someone on Twitter and said he’s pushing 300lbs and Coffeys weight is from the beginning of last football season lmao I’m sure he’s bigger now he was always a pretty built guy tho some tackles can play at around 285-300lbs and be successful. He’s naturally strong I’m sure he’ll be fine once they start hitting the weights. Also heard Z.Walkers coach says he’s probably the strongest kid he’s ever seen
