we have 4 DEs on the roster, and two have been in the program for 3 years and contributed very little (Maclin, Allen). I would say there is an opportunity at DE.


True, but one of them, Allen, was expected to be a contributor this year except for injury, another, Hunter, is being proclaimed as a stud, and of course there's Rasco. Only two start. I think the best newcomer will be fourth or fifth on the depth chart, and I give Beckwith a 1 out of 3 chance to be that best newcomer. So, long shot. Remember that Seals-Jones was a can't miss stud until we saw him in the all star game. Beckwith looked a lot better than that, but he wasn't dominant.

Defensive Line Breakdown:

This is what we have coming back:

WDE:
Rasco
J. Allen

LT:
Freak
M. Johnson

RT:
Ego
Q. Thomas

SDE:
D. Hunter
J. Maclin

This is our Dline haul as of now:

DE:
Frank Herron
K. Beckwith
Michael Patterson
Lewis Neal

DT:
M. Bain
Greg Gilmore
C. LaCouture
Tevin Lawson

We will literally be doubling our bodies in the recruiting class.

I don't think its any stretch to say that Herron, Beckwith, and Gilmore could all see some time.

NONE WILL START!
