Just my guess......
DE- Joseph/Frank/Battles-Santos
DE- Norris/Willman
DT- Stephen/McBryde
DT- Pruitt/Myers/Campenni
MLB- Smallwood/Donohue
OLB- Stewart/Steg
OLB- Ashiru/Vann
CB- Jones/Hadley
CB- Mack/Williams
S- Adams/Floyd
S- Brown/Melifonwu
I think Rueben Frank could see some time in the DL rotation this year despite the very recent switch and learning curve which I'm excited to see how he looks there.
I hope Norris is the stud he seemed like he could be after last year and I hope he is ready to take hold of the starting spot opposite Jesse. If not Willman will be solid, not spectacular or flashy but he will handle his own. I love really great HS wrestlers so I gotta believe that BBS is going to be a solid player too, kid was a phenomenal HS wrestler.
I'm actually loving the competition for the other DT spot next to Shamar. I think there is many different styles and looks that we can throw at teams. I like Pruitt for now with experience, but Campenni has shown flashes of great run stuffing ability with a low center of gravity. I also like what I've heard about Myers' potential. Among all though if we could get the 6'9 Andreas the Giant to understand scheme, techniques and leverage I think his natural gifts could be a huge asset for us and I hope he develops to the point where we can use him ASAP.
With the LB's the talent and athleticism is there, its just all how well they can mesh and play cohesively. Knowing their plays, holes and gaps to cover will allow them to play instinctive, and then they can play with all that talent and athleticism. Some good depth at the LB position.
With the DB's I think Byron Jones is a lock and going to be a very good CB this year and a great one next year after a full year of playing that position. I give the nod to Mack based on experience but hope either Jhavon beats him out with great play or that Mack has decided he really wants to make something of himself during his SR year. If he can't or Jhavon isn't ready I say we attempt to get either Obi or Lee in the rotation of DB's. Most likely having to move Brown or Adams outside to make room for the bigger Safeties. I say that because I'm not sold on Stevenson or Clark at this point. Haven't heard much about Marder yet either. Maybe Hadley really shows out in camp and was a steal of a sleeper, I know he had bigger programs coming at him late so who knows. But a true Fr. CB would scare me out there.
