Kevin Toliver
Arden Key
Derrius Guice
Tyron Johnson
Donte Jackson
Maea Teuhema
Brykeithon Mouton
Foster Moreau
Toby Weathersby (improving each week and getting more PT)


All of these guys are starting or part of the rotation at their position and are playing very well. Can't remember the last time we had this many true freshman playing big roles and performing very well at them.

Add in the sophomore class, and it's ridiculous the amount of talent we will have coming back next year. Truly ridiculous.

Brossette has done ok, but Moreau has to be on that list.

Yeah I forgot Moreau... But would you say he's been in a prominent role right now? Been solid on special teams for sure.

Kevin Toliver - Agree

Arden Key - Agree

Derrius Guice - Agree

Tyron Johnson - Prior to his TD catch last week, he only had caught 3 passes for 6 yards. So I wouldn't call his role prominent.

Donte Jackson - Has been steadily improving.

Maea Teuhema - Has played well, but may get demoted with the emergence of Weathersby.

Brykeithon Mouton - I'm not sold on Mouton. He doesn't hit guys that aren't directly in front of him, and hasn't really finished blocks. Fournette gave him several stiff talks after he missed key blocks.

Tyron Johnson has emerged as the WR3 already, jumped Diarse and Quinn. I would say that's a prominent role and his role will grow as he improves and gets used to playing at this level.

Guess I just haven't noticed him out there.

Will add him to list.

That's debatable. The receiving corp looks a lot like 2013 where most of the passes only go to two guys. Additionally, Diarse and Quinn replace the two starters when they need a breather.

Foster Moreau

He has done well for a true freshman. A lot of people questioned recruiting another TE last class, but glad we did in hindsight.

Ok, so is Johnson simply being on the field playing a prominent role? I'm not really trying to debate who plays what position, or even the depth chart. My point is that he has had a minimal impact thus far. Therefore I disagree with the OP listing him as a guy that to this point has played well in a prominent role.
