I know people are excited about Cooper and Borghi, but offensively we got 4 new outside receivers from this class. I suspect at least two of them will play. It might be the Texas kids (with Fisher and Gray redshirting) but it could be any or all of them. Offensively I think we got some size and speed that we really needed at this position. Nobody has been able to take the top off a defense from the outside since Dom Williams left, and these are players that look capable of doing that. (Tay Martin is somebody that might be able to do it with more experience) So this is the position group I'm most pumped about on offense.
On defense I really like what we got at linebacker, especially with the return of Pelluer and Catis enrolling early. That gives us some size inside that I wasn't sure we'd have. Djibril and Nunn could both end up here or at safety (I suspect Nunn's height may put him at DB unless he shows enough with his hands to switch sides) but both are great athletes. Dubots is coming off his redshirt, and even if he's not starting he seems like an ideal kick coverage player in the meantime. If the 'nickel' position continues to exist in its current form it seems like Djibril and Ross would be naturals there.
I'd LOVE to have another JC DT in addition to the grad transfer QB from Penn St, but really this is a pretty good class. My primary worries now remain DT depth, finding 3 new starters on the offensive line, and the kicking game. I really hope something positives emerges from spring ball regarding the latter two. The QB situation is what it is, but there's no shortage of talented players to choose from.
