Logan is rumored all over this board. I don't know if that's going to happen or not, but it's basically exactly what we need or we'll be in some trouble. Additionally, I think at least one of our young guys may kick inside to the Mcintosh role.So we are legitimately facing going in to our 2018 season opener against LSU with only Martin and Jon Ford as DTs? How is the staff not alarmed by this possibility? We should have taken 3 DTs at a minimum in this class.
As for who'll grow into it:
- maybe someone like DJ Johnson. I've been killed when i've said that, and agree he currently looks like the Chad Thomas role, but it's just a possibility if he outgrows the position. He may be 265 as a True Frosh. About as big as William Joseph.
- Haskins. Again, TE first but what if he naturally grows to 290? Not picking up a Mckitty type this year makes that less likely.
- Bethel. Don't see it yet, but we shall see what his body does. At 6' 3" 260, he'd need a jump to 285+ to make it more likely.
2018 would look like:
Logan/?/Frosh?
Ford/Martin/Frosh?
I cringe at depending on true Frosh as DTs. Don't love the depth chart, but could be worse. I was big on picking up at least 2 DTs this year. Luckily, we should really trust Kul and company.
