He’s another one that was big time at JUCO and hardly played this past year. 4th Team All-American at JUCO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does he make us better? 🤣 Expand You're right lol. I don't know how good he will or won't be, but at the very least he gives us depth at a position where a starter upgrade isn't a big need. David and Anderson should be in line to start. David looking promising earlier in the year, but was out all of conference play. Anderson started a number of games as well and looked the part. However, nobody behind them really played last year aside from Lewis who would rotate from NB. Edited December 21, 2024 by LZIp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Closest thing on the roster we have to a power back, not named Bullock. Not expecting big numbers from him, but if he can get a few tough yards whenever we need them, then it’ll be a great pickup.

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.

He’s a big boy who I believe got in on special teams some. I think Morris will slide over to center as he’s played there in spots in place of Williams if I recall. @catdaddyp is Alex Fox another guy we should be on the lookout for in the interior? Think he was injured most or all of last year. Edited January 2 by LZIp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Yeah, looks like he had a bunch of good G5 offers. His bio says RT for Zips. Hopefully a plug and play starter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
