Ahman Richards- Will be given a chance to start right away. Need him to excel.
Sam Bruce- Slot lacking that big play, exciting, make things happen guy. Bruce is that guy. Will play a lot if not start.
Dionte Mullins - Because the position lacks depth and speed, he too could earn playing time. Fall performance determines if he redshirts.
Dyall Harris- Wild Card. They won't redshirt him. Has to out perform Cager to get meaningful playing time.
Jovanni Haskins- Depth at TE allows him to redshirt. Big time potential. Will be contender for 2017 season.
Michael Irvin- Redshirt. H-Back type. 6'2 225/30 by spring 2017. Can be moved around. Will be very good if used like Jordan Reed.
Travis Homer- Depth at RB will allow him to redshirt. No use in wasting a year. Training and OLine improvements will benefit him.
Romeo Finley- Lack of depth in secondary and his skills means he plays if only in situations and more as season progresses.
Cedric Wright- If he can play CB he may get a shot, but if purely a S then he redshirts.
Malek Young- Has to flop not to play. Will be given every chance to play.
Jeff James- Redshirt. With so many S and DB likely coming next 2 years. May not survive, but who knows.
Tre Johnson- They may redshirt him to get stronger and prepared, but with so many busters on the OL, may be pressed into play.
Tyreric Martin- Redshirt. Gotta get weight up and stronger at DT. See next spring on his progress.
Patrick Bethel- Redshirt. Has to get a lot bigger and stronger to compete at this level and against better teammates.
Joseph Jackson- May be one of those Superstar freshmen DE's or they may save him because of depth at position. If he is as good as I think he is. Speed, Size and Intensity may leap frog him ahead of Chad. Yes I said it. Kid has Superstar written all over him.
Shaq Quaterman- May start or backup Owens, but will play a plenty and be a Freshman All American.
Mike Pickney- Will see the field early and often especially in passing situations. 1st Team ACC Freshman with Shaq.
Zach McCloud- Will also play a lot. After a season he will be a star LB as well.
Jack Allison- Redshirt. Needs to develop physically, weight and strength. Learn the offense like its his own. His comp coming 2017.
