I wouldn't go near that far. A couple might not end up being DEs but you can't say we don't have a ton of DEs compared to TEs. I also forgot Mingo in there.

We have young Dickson coming in who is a TE. Edwards is a TE and didn't play much because he's a true freshman.

You expect a true freshman to play at TE? Edwards was NOT a true freshman this year BTW.

quote:
Peterson will likely stay at TE.

That's only a "maybe" and he's not really a TE at his size.

quote:
Not to mention Nick Jacobs coming in this year plus Mitch Joseph, as blocking TEs.

Jacobs is starting to project as an OT and Joseph is pretty useless.

quote:
You don't need 15 TEs on the roster...

We might be lucky to have even 4 on the roster next year. That includes Peterson who really isn't a TE and is just listed as one. No idea why you think we have way more TEs than DEs and ones that are capable players next year at that. TE is a much bigger need at JUCO.

quote:
Logan and Brockers will be DTs. Hicks is a DT.

Those are maybes at best. Logan is pretty small and Brockers/Hicks can play both DT and DE.

But that's the point - you don't need 15 TEs. No one has that many on their roster.

Did a true freshman named Richard Dickson not play? Sorry Edwards was a RS freshman. Not that huge of a difference...

It took him one offseason to get from 215 to 240ish. He looks about as thick to me as Richard Dickson... don't see what the issue is or why it's so impossible for him to add 10 more pounds of muscle...
