2024 has to be the year because in 2025 we will be depleted.

The likelihood of the vast majority of starters being gone is extremely high.

Offense
OL Campbell, Jones, Frazier, Dellinger
WR Lacy, Daniels, Hilton
TE Taylor


Defense
DE Jones/Shand, Swinson
DT Guillory, Lee
LB Perkins, Penn
DB JK Johnson, Alexander, Gilbert, Burns, Ryan

Obviously Sage might not start at nickel, but we lose a rotational piece with tons of experience.

I didn't put West Weeks because I thought he'd come back as a redshirt senior.

I don't think Nuss leaves unless he gets a first round grade. If he's as good as we all think he could be, he will get that grade.

I put Taylor because he has elite talent behind him. I doubt he stays If he put up 5-600 yards and 5-6 TDs.

Just talking starters alone, we could lose 7 (low ball), and up to 9 on offense. On defense we could lose anywhere from 8 to 10 defensive starters. Of course we'll have plenty rotational guys, but the starters are older and more experienced and I'm banking on at least 8 starters being 4th+ year players and one being a 3rd year (Perkins).

I do not see them going ham on the portal either as they try to build through the freshman.

Me personally, I think this 2024 season can be a 10-2 and playoff appearance season.
