While listening to Sports Today, they mentioned Bower & Neal could see some meaningful PT at DE, Kendall Beckwith could push for a spot at outside LB and Rickey Jefferson was ahead of the curve at SS. ( which apparently he didn't play a lot of in HS)
* Not really that shocking. Tre'Davious White is expected to fit into the nickel from day 1.

definitely going to need multiple freshmen contribute on the DLine

RJ must have really looked good during the summer because Miles named him as a freshman who could see a lot of time.

Lewis Neal, through his recruitment, seemed like the most likely DE to see the field early. He's not a prototype DE size wise, so he's really developed his technique. Plus he's quick as hell. I see him as a 4 year contributor, size being something that will keep him in college longer than his talent would dictate.
Jefferson played mostly CB and WR in HS. His cover skills will help at SS, and he seems to be a pretty heady player. I think a lot of comparisons to Brandon Taylor will be made.
Bower was a big pick up. Locking him down allowed us to stop pursuing another DE in this class that may not have been an early PT guy for us, which was a need. We needed to get DEs that could step on the field right away. He still could potentially beef up, just like Frank Herron, but I'm glad we'll be getting to see him early at DE.

i could see all of them having roles, obviously white will see the most pt
Interesting that jefferson is making noise at ss, thought he'd be better suited at fs. Thompson better watch out

We are going to be so freaking monstous the next few years. (hopefully more)

question, what all drills could the DEs have been doing to impress the staff this early?
I know they are working out over the summer and the skill guys do 7 on 7 but what else could the lineman be doing to impress the coaches so much?
is it strictly strength and conditioning that could have our coaches so high on them?

Did they mention Frank Herron any? Haven't heard his name all summer.

Practice hasn't even started yet.

I said since i saw bower in june that he would play. the dude is physically imposing and looked bigger than danielle hunter. Guy is a monster. I expected beckwith and white to play. I have high hopes for neal but wasnt sure he would see the field before herron and bower. ricky came out of nowhere. I figured hed play safety for us, but not as a frosh with thompson and martin on the team.

I think it would be cool if Jefferson came around and became a great DB for us. Is that TE slated to start week 1?

So, have we finally put to bed the myth that Miles favors upper classmen?

People are always trying to figure out which freshman is going to be a star out the gate. It's like having a girlfriend and always wondering about new pussy. News Flash folks: the studs we already have will prob play a lot better than the new guy on campus
