How are we with D-LINE depth?

Excellent. We have Farrell and Logan back. Roy was a monster last year as a freshmen. We have Eric Taylor and Guillory, but I have no idea if they are ready to be in the rotation. We have Evans, who was very good last year. And we have incoming freshman Maason Smith, who is going to be a force next season.

That is a lot of guys to fill two interior line positions, one of which leaves the field half the time in favor of pass rushers.

The DE positions are deep enough and talented. We return Gaye, Ojulari and Anthony, which gives us three studs to man two positions. Then we have Webb, Cherry, Landon Jackson, Zavier Carter, Bryce Langston and Savion Jones.

I think even if we don’t get Davis we need to dip into the portal for a plug and play starter at LB. That position is probably the one of most concern to me

I have no concern. We have Strong, Baskerville and Clark. The latter two are very good players and supposedly Strong is plug and play. We also have three highly rated freshmen from last year. Surely one or two will develop.

Does the absence of a DC/DL affect 2021 recruits at the moment?

We currently sit at #5 in recruiting rankings. Could we make a push to #2 or #3?

What positions are a need for us to round out to 25 recruits?


No. With 4 of the 5 guys from last years starting unit, and maybe Dare as well, maybe 1 OL vs. 2 or 3 had those guys not come back. IF Thomas the WR from Walker wants in, you take him.

We have to be waiting for someone in the NFL Playoffs. Maybe from the Saints?
