I'm stoked about this D, something I had zero warm, moist fuzzies about only a few months ago.
First off, Co Pitman put the beef on these guys, and the big uglies in the trenches who got pushed around last season, should be able to do some pushing back. And when you add guys like Lee Hunter (6'5" 321 Freshman), Marcus Harris (6'3" 288 Transfer from KU) and Tony Fair (6'3" 330 Transfer from UAB)....along with Andrew Leota (6'4" 250 Transfer from NW) it looks like we'll be able to rotate a bunch of quality foosball players across the front.
Our linebackers are as good as any in the country, bar none. Don't know how much depth we have, but ZMac, Pappoe and now, Chandler Wooten, will light bitches up.
DB is where things get real. I thought we would be pretty good back there with a lot of experience returning in Smoke, Roger McCreary, Nehemiah Pritchett (25 tackles), Jaylin Simpson etc. But now, you add Dreshun Miller (WVU), Donovan Kaufman (Vandy) and Bydarrius Knighten (3 year starter at SE Missouri State), all three of which are bad asses, you'll have guys fighting for playing time. From what I just read, Kaufman may start at corner right away.
The piece I read also said that other than maybe the LB from Texas A&M, (Forgot his name) Harvinz is most likely done on D. It said look to add one name from the portal for each room. QB just got checked off. Look for one RB, WR and O-Lineman to finish off the roster for 2021.
