Here we go again. What are your thoughts? Here's mine.

Quarterback:

Zach Calzada - Redshirt. If Foster didn't see action in any games despite the 4-game rule, I sincerely doubt Calzada will unless Blumrick leaves.

Running Back:

Isaiah Spiller - Play. Unless Deneric Prince plays his way into significant carries, the majority of the carries will be split between Corbin, Jackson, Richardson and Spiller.

Wide Receiver:

Dylan Wright - Play. You don't keep a talent like that off the field.

Kam Brown - Play, then redshirt.

Kenyon Jackson - Play, then redshirt.

Ainias Smith - Play. He'll return kicks and punts as well as play WR (Fisher said he would primarily be on offense)

Tight End. This isn't even in question. Both will play and play a lot. Cupp may even start.

Offensive Line. Green will play and possibly even start, the other two will redshirt.

Defensive Line.

Leal - Play, possibly start. He's simply too good not to.

Hunter - Play.

Jones - Play, then redshirt.

Mowry - If he qualifies and signs, play, then redshirt.

Linebacker. All five will play barring injury. One of them may start (Brown or White)

Cornerback. Both will play and Blades will probably start.

Safety. Both will play.

Kicker. Play, but redshirt unless Small gets hurt.

I really like the 4 game and can still redshirt rule.

I think at least 1 LB will redshirt at some point. Orebo being the most likely candidate so they can get more weight on him. I would say 1 DL as well. Injuries are of course the wild card.

I would be absolutely shocked if Orebo plays at all this year. Dude needs a year and a half in the weight room. I would bet at least one other LB redshirts too.

To put it in perspective, here are the players from the 2018 class who didn't play a single down before redshirting, INCLUDING those who are transferring:

James Foster
Colten Blanton
Luke Matthews
Tank Jenkins
Barton Clement
Tyree Wilson

The others all played against NW State
