Summer 2 Deep Projections

Advertisement
Looking over the roster I’m much more confident than I was last year.

QB - TE - DL - S seem to be positions of great strength

RB - I will miss Dallas. Wish we could have seen him in this offence. He was criminally underused last season. But I am intrigued by what the young guys will do.

WR - there is talent, but unproven. If Lashlee puts them in a position to use there strengths I believe we will see a huge improvement in their stats.

OL - So much more experience and depth compared to last season. Hopefully we get some blow outs to give Nelson, Rivers and Walker (if he’s eligible) some valuable experience.

LB - I will miss the leadership and steadiness of Shaq, but am excited to see some new (more athletic athletes this year).

CB - I still think that the guys we have are good not great. They had their ups and down last year, but more experience and the pass rush should help them.

K - I think we lost at least 3 games last year because of the **** show we had at K. Whether it was missing easy kicks or going for it on 4th instead of even trying it took points off the board and killed momentum.

This is who I have in the 2 deep right now:

QB - King - Perry/TVD
RB - Harris - Knighton
TE - Jordan - Mallory
WR 1 - Wiggins - Smith
WR 2 - Payton - Pope
Slot - Harley - Pope
LT - Williams - Nelson
LG - Clark - Traore
C - Gaynor - Clark
RG - Scaife - Reed
RT - Campbell - Herbert

DE - Rousseau - Phillips
DT - Ford - Miller
DT - Silvera - Holly
Edge - Roche - Harvey

MLB - McCloud - Joyner or Jennings
WLB - Brooks - Huff or Steed
Striker - Frierson - Smith *Carter

CB - Blades - Williams
SS - Hall - Carter
FS - Bolden - Williams
CB - Ivey - Couch
Nickel - Couch - Blades

KR - Chaney/Knighton
PR - Pope
P - Hedley
K - Borregales

Hoping the Kool-Aid is legit this season.
You lost me when I saw K. Herbert on the two=deep. Herbert is not a D1 player.

QB1 - D'Eriq King
QB2 - N'Kosi Perry
QB3 - Tyler Van Dyke or Peyton Matocha
QB4 - Tate Martell

Redshirt: TVD (might play 4 & shirt, more than likely will only get a chance to play vs Wagner & 2nd half vs Temple or UAB).

RB1 - Cam'ron Harris
RB2 - Don Chaney Jr
RB3 - Jaylen Knighton
RB4 - Robert Burns

XWR - Mark Pope/ Michael Redding/ Keyshawn Smith
YWR - Mike Harley/ Xavier Restrepo/ Marshall Few
ZWR - Daquris Wiggins/ Jeremiah Payton/ Daz Worsham

Redshirt: Daz Worsham (maybe)

TE1 - Brevin Jordan
TE2 - Will Mallory
TE3 - Larry Hodges
TE4 - Dominic Mammarelli

Redshirt: Dominic Mammarelli

LT - John Campbell/ Zion Nelson/
LG - Jakai Clark/ Ousman Traore/ Jalen Rivers
C - Corey Gaynor/
RG - Delone Scaife/Cleveland Reed/ Za'lonte Hillery
RT - Jarrid Williams/ Adam ElGammal

Redshirts: Navaughn Donaldson, Issiah Walker, Jalen Rivers & Chris Washington. (Rivers might play as a backup rotational Guard, but if you're expecting him to start its not happening, unless others ahead of him are injured. He'll play 4 & shirt.)

SDE - Gregory Rousseau/ Jaelan Phillips/ Jason Blissett
DT - John Ford/ Jordan Miller/ Jalar Holley/
DT - Nesta Silvera/ Jared Harrison-Hunte/
WDE - Quincy Roche/ Jahfari Harvey/ Cameron Williams

Redshirts : Chantz Williams, Elijah Roberts & Quetin Williams (one of them may play their way into the rotation, but it's doubtful, barring injury they'll all play 4 & shirt.)

WLB - Sam Brooks/ Avery Huff/ Tirek Austin-Cave/ Corey Flagg Jr
MLB - Zach McCloud/ BJ Jennings/ Patrick Joyner

Redshirt: TAC & Flagg; although I will say given the lack of depth maybe they get a chance to play as backups in rotation, especially TAC, if healthy I think he can get valuable reps.

Striker - Gilbert Frierson/ Keontra Smith/ Keyshawn Washington

Redshirt: Washington

Field CB - Al Blades/ Christian Williams
NCB - Te'Cory Couch/ Marcus Clarke
Boundary CB - DJ Ivey/ Isaiah Dunson

Redshirt: None, can't afford it.

(And yes I want/hope Christian Williams beats Ivey for the CB2 spot, I just have no faith Diaz/Baker/Rumph will really bench Ivey until they feel they have no other choice, which means he's gonna have to get torched some more before they pull him lol)

FS - Gurvan Hall/ Avantae Williams/ Jalen Harrell
SS - Bubba Bolden/ Amari Carter/ Brian Balom

Redshirt: Harrell & Balom; I personally wouldn't shirt Harell, but his arrival might be a bit delayed with his academic situation.

Keyshawn Washington is also listed as a Safety, if they keep him at Safety he'll definitely be a SS, but no matter whether they play him at SS or Striker he's a Redshirt either way.

KR - Jaylen Knighton & Mark Pope
PR - Mark Pope or Mike Harley & Xavier Restrepo
Who wpuld ve learning the center position behind Gaynor?

I agree he was not good last year. The Duke game was especially bad. Maybe Justice’s coaching will help him (Barry’s coaching technique with the OT’s was bad) As well as Offensive scheme being better.

Nelson was bad last year as well. Maybe in camp Rivers will step up.

Williams allows us to have more choices. We could also move Scaife back to RT and put someone else at G if needed.

At least we have more options than last year
