I think Fatukasi is actually going to be the best of the bunch. He was very impressive for a soph last year.
Freshman, actually. He's got three years left.
In reality he's a Redshirt Sophomore (he sat 21013)... but yes, three years eligibility left.
Last year, he was a RS Freshman.
We need some of our kids to develop the ability to bring heat off the edges.. We need at least one Trevardo typeThe D-Line is definitely a bright spot, not deep, but there are 2-3 potential pros.

How they use Ormsby becomes important. He showed some flashes but when you see his snap count from the season he needs to impact a higher percentage of plays.
That "Trevardo" type player is gonna have to come from whomever fills the role left by Frank last year. Sounds like they've moved Ormsby back to the DE spot (he played a lot at the hybrid DE/LB last year) where he needs to bulk up more closer to the 275 lb range to fit Diaco's system.
The kids I'm looking at for that hybrid spot are Carrezola & Diggs. Those 2 showed me something as true frosh.
I don't think Diggs has the size that Diaco's looking for in that position. My guess is that it will either be Carrezola or Ormsby isn't moving.
Say hi to Andre for me.If all these kids are so good how come we had almost no pass rush? My favorite is Myers - he did not win Diaco's low body fat contest but the kid can play.
This was the problem. We had ZERO OLB pressure last season. Any pass rush we generated came from our 3 DL and that's NOT how a 3-4 should be working. Opposing O-Lines had it easy. We gotta find someone who can bring pressure off the edge. Stewart wasn't cutting it last year and got burned many times. He's gotta fix that or we gotta find someone else.You're still rushing 4 in a 3-4, the outside LBs were just so poor at getting there.
That "Trevardo" type is a rarity. The kid was a 100M track guy. And we had another 100M track guy in Campbell on the other side.That "Trevardo" type player is gonna have to come from whomever fills the role left by Frank last year.
