Did this for fun so dont hate on if I missed anyone. After yesterdays huge win and with only 4 games left, im excited for the future. I was looking to see what we have next year and what we lose. Besides a major question mark at QB liking what we have at all positions.
QB- Shirreffs/Boyle/Davis- Shirreffs should have best shot. I was a major fan of Boyle but he just doesn't look capable of leading a D-1 team. Biggest question mark of team.
RB- Max/R.J./ Arkeel/ and Josh Marriner. Clax/Walsh- Solid group. Max would be great for short yardage.
RJ and Arkeel split major carries. Arkeel with the homerun ability. Exciting group for next few years. FB getting better blocking out of Clax every game. Backs need to hit the weight room hard and work on ball security.
WR-Thomas/Lucas/Abrams/ Lemelle/Bradley/Beals- This position takes a major hit with Davis and Foxx leaving. But none the less could be a position with no superstars but a bunch of good quality depth. Beals looks great on recruiting videos.
TE-Bloom/McQuillan/Myers- Both have pretty good hands. Getting better at blocking. Myers I have seen in HS was man among boys. Has great hands. Need work on blocking as a group.
OL-Levy/Samra/Knappe/Hopkins/Crozier/Shaf/Rutherford/Oak/Bockeloh- IMO 2nd biggest question mark. Offensive line is day and night since the BYU game. With a year in there belt and another offseason in the weight room, could become position of strength. Bonding will be huge with all the underclassmen.
DL-Adeyemi/Fatukasi/Meyers/Campenni/Blackwell- Solid group stopping the run. Would like alittle more speed but overall good group. Blackwell a major space eater.
LB-Vann/Ashiru/Stewart/Joseph/Ormsby/Diggs/Carrezola/Britton- This group is outstanding. So much production this year out of so many underclassmen. Should be strongest group on our team. I loved what I seen out of Britton in Blue/White game. Starting group of Vann/Joseph/Stewart or Diggs/Britton. Love the speed/size in group. Could drop a couple to DE to give us some speed off edges.
DB-Williams/Summers/Adams/Obi/Floyd/Lee/Hadley- Losing Byron hurts. Byron very underrated tackler. Very athletic group. Great coverage. Safeties are big and physical.
Special teams. Wain/ Puyol- Solid punter and Kicker. Bobby has huge leg. Both will get stronger in offseason.
Special returners- Newsome/Lemelle- Newsome can bring the ball to the house on any touch. Lemelle was a decent punt returner frosh year. Maybe someone else steps up.
Diaco/ rest of coaches- a learning year for BD. Learned a lot on the fly this year. Should be much improved. O coordinator opened up more of playbook as O-line got better.
Future looks promising for us. Got a lot of young players great playing time. Lets go Bowling boys.
Just glancing at the roster and looking ahead to next year.
