Offer to JUCO DT Darien Jackson. Also, it looks like Anthony Leonard is our new DL coach.

May turn out to be a really nice pickup. Outside of his other offers, he was scheduled to visit JMU as well, but I don’t know if that visit happened. I think he has 2 years of eligibility remaining.

Agreed. I imagine Mitchell and Fox will see some type of rotation this year.

We seem to mostly be targeting OTs at this point. Although, I wouldn’t be surprised if we see further movement before the 2025 season kicks off.

It’s possible, but I don’t know if the staff wants to throw that much responsibility on him in Week 1. Maybe as the season progresses McManus will take over. It’s a lot to ask for a freshman OL to be physically ready and make all the calls. Although, could get by with the calls part by having a veteran guard do it instead. I’m excited about Morris. I think he’s in line for a breakout year.

Offer to WR Artis Cole of ULM. Former JUCO.

He and Brown-Demery are studs. We’ll have to enjoy them while they’re here.

Offer to OL Cole Morgan of Michigan. Did not play at Michigan. Was a PWO that had multiple G5 and lower offers coming out of prep.

Offer to CB Tyrell Raby of Middle Tennessee State. Started 13 games for MTSU over the past 2 seasons.

Offer to JUCO DT Desean Watts.

Offer to OL James Faminu of Temple. Started games at LT, LG, and RT.

Offer to OL J’Shun Bodiford of Middle Tennessee State. Former JUCO. Started the first game at RT for MTSU before getting injured for the season.

He dominated at JUCO and looked substantially better than Nunnally coming out of JUCO - good enough to get a P4 opportunity. Of course that doesn’t mean he’ll any better, or as good as Nunnally, but it’s at least a comparison point. He’s a guy to be excited about and will join a really young DE room with loads of upside. Now we need to address DT. Happy New Year!

DE that we were in on coming out of JUCO last year. Played in 3 games at Arizona this season.

Offer to RB Hahsaun Wilson of Charlotte.

We’ll land some good players. It’ll be difficult to retool the lines of scrimmage at a high level with no NIL funds, but we’ll see what happens. There are a number of offers out there that we don’t know about. I’m just posting the ones that have been placed on social media.

Offer to WR Tim Grear of Fresno State.

https://x.com/fisher21d/status/1873496820963500123?s=61&t=_TFqePY4lFXUo5BavIxA3w Offer to DT Dylan Fisher of Ohio Dominican (DII).

Offer to JUCO WR Devin Ellison.

In case anyone needed one more swift kick to the nether regions, Jordon Simmons has hit the portal.

Offer to CB Ben Kamara of Upper Iowa (DII).

Offer to OL Rene Miller of Alcorn State.
