I see some noteworthy gains in size overall for the upcoming season. Ahmir Crowder has gone from 255 to 280. Brennan Jackson is now 6-5, 260, up from 235. Christian Mejia is 260, up from 245.
Lamonte McDougle has dropped 5 to 295. Two others are unchanged: Dallas Hobbs is still 285 and Will Rodgers III remains at 250. Jesus Echevarria is down to 290, which likely means he's continuing to improve his conditioning. No longer on the roster are Derek Moore and Preston Hendry.
The same can be said for redshirt frosh OLM Blake McDonald and Syr Riley, who are down to 305 and 320, respectively. Both were 330 plus when they arrived (Riley actually was 360 plus). In watching them in early practices last August, I immediately saw a redshirt year. The conditioning program is doing wonders - again. Cade Beresford has bulked up to 295 (from 275), which means he'll likely be ready for battle this season.
