There are a few players that I have a very keen interest in, so I thought we needed a thread, feel free to add anyone that sparks your interest:
No order, maybe number:
- Darius Shackleford; the kid is from Newark, 6-4 WR. Now not Newark Catholic, but still a larger program. second-team All-OCC Ohio Division honoree…led Licking County in receiving yards (587) and receptions (46). How he only had 4 TDs has me concerned.
- Alvin Bailey: This is the Florida transfer QB. Was a WR for UofF and should be at YSU. Played in a state champion 2-QB system in high-school.
- Jonathan Pollock: This is the Rutgers transfer at LB. Very highly decorated in HS, even played on two national HS all-star squads. Maybe I am too old, but I remember the day when all of the best LB's in the country wanted to play for Rutgers. Possible injury problem.
- Nathan Mays: QB. I really would like to see this guy get his opportunities and make the best of it. He is the perfect QB for our system.
- Avery Moss: Was a DE transfer from Nebraska and did play quite a bit last year. He needs to earn a starting job and show us what he can do.
- Kyle Hegedus: St. Eds caliber player at Safety. Seemed to excel at the return game. I think this kid has something. I suspect he will not be redshirted as he fills too many needs.
- Solomon Warfield: Another St. Ed's kid at Safety. He played many games for us last season. If he pans out, then we could redshirt Hegedus..
- Avery Larkin: CB out of LaSalle. He needs to step up for us this year and take a starting job. Last year we used at DB when coach Carl was using 6-guys.
- Jermiah Braswell: Toledo Central guys with brains. Just wish the best for him, I like the guys with brains and brawn.
- Jalyn Powell: Michigan State transfer. Saw limited action last year. Like a couple of the other FBS guys, he needs to step up his game.
- Billy Nicoe Hurst: California League JUCO at DB.
- Damoun Patterson: WR From Utah State and then transferred to a JUCO. Had interest from FBS schools.
- London Pearson: Can anyone confirm if he is here or at Marshall? There were 2 TB's I did not recognize at practice.
- Nathan Pittman: LB Like others he need to see if he can earn a starting job.. I like his size and he tackles well.
- Joe Alessi: TB: He will come off of redshirt this year, Looks bigger than 196lbs.
- Jayson Gobble: TB: A true frosh with Lots of great numbers and 1st-team all state.
- Christiaan Randall-Posey: LB. I have high hopes for this guy. Another guys with brains and brawn.
- Stefan Derrick II: Another California JUCO and WR ...lots of stats.
- Shereif Bynum: DL all Detroit and all-Michigan 1st-team. Coming of RS year.
- Simon Smith: DE all state played in the Ohio N vs. S game. Also coming off RS year.
- Donald Mesier: DT. Took his RS year after 2-years at Mesa CC.
- Nate Needham: P/K Looks like he will start at punter. Sheely is gone.
