Holy 💩 what?!
Former top 20 player in the state of New Jersey. Had offers from Duke, VT, Rutgers, UCLA, Marshall, Temple out of high school. FCS interest this time around but could be quite the get. Competition is going to be solid in the QB room, and he has 3 years of eligibility.
What do you guys think about this hypothetical starting OL?
LT - Kamari Landers
LG - Joshua Blanchard
C - Tyhler Williams
RG - Keylen Davis
RT - Keon Kindred
I don't have an issue with this line, surely it will kick ass. But I do believe Nate Williams will start at RT. He can hold his own with any of these guys yet also provides leadership and heart. He is the soul of the OL and I believe coaches Joe and Rod will want his intangibles.
With that being said I can't wait to see our backs running thru the holes this line will create.
I believe he will technically be a redshirt junior, so 2 years. Maybe 3 as it looks like he missed all of last season with injury, so may be able to get medical redshirt if desired.
With the signing of USF transfer OL Joshua Blanchard it looks like Ball Coach JoeMo & Coach J-Rod got their IOL 💪

Hey MAC, how do you like them apples?!?! 👀👀
We certainly have numbers at DT & DE
DT:
1. Terray Jones
2. Kiawan Murphy
3. Kyle Thomas
4. Andre Proffitt
5. Devon Robinson
6. Marcus Moore
7. Lama Lavea
8. Tyler Carter
DE:
1. Ryan Johnson
2. Ahmad Rabah
3. Bruno Dall
4. Bennett Adler
5. Kameron Cheatom
6. Antonio Smith
7. CJ Nunnally
8. LaJoshua Jackson
Fingers crossed a few of these guys at each position turn out to be more than just warm bodies.
I can't really imagine us adding anyone else at this point for 2023. Good to see the staff agrees with the board though that OL, DB, and DL were the holes. The holes on paper are filled, but lets hope most of these guys pan out into at least solid G5-caliber players.
It's better than the Arkansas States they normally play this time of year.
To repeat, the Athletic Department should benefit the athletes, students, alumni, fans and greater communities around Akron. This game would check all of the boxes.
