A fish out of water could've started for Kent these last 3 years. 

 

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.

Leading rusher at Colgate the past 2 seasons (not necessarily impressive stats but still), and still has 2 years of eligibility.  At minimum should replace Kellom’s production id think. Like this get.

I like it too. He’s actually 10-15 lbs heavier than Kellom. 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.

With Williams in the portal do you think McManus had a real shot at starting center? I know Morris has had some reps there as well.

Expand  

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.

That is true, I think he’s probably close to being talented enough yo be on the field. How do you see the o line as it stands now? Maybe a grad transfer center and tackle?

I bet redshirt freshmen Roosevelt Mitchell will be in the mix at guard next 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.

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.

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

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.

Yeah, looks like he had a bunch of good G5 offers. His bio says RT for Zips. Hopefully a plug and play starter.
