RB Alex Barnes - Justin Silmon OR Dalvin Warmack - Mike McCoy/Tyler Burns
FB Winston Dimel - Chase Johnston
WR Byron Pringle - Corey Sutton
WR Dominique Heath - Isaiah Harris
WR Carlos Strickland - Zach Reuter
WR Isaiah Zuber - DJ Render
TE Dayton Valentine - Blaise Gammon OR Nick Lenners - Kaeson Risner
LT Scott Frantz - Nick Kaltmayer - Ajhane Brager
LG Tyler Mitchell - Adam Holtorf
C Reid Najvar - Evan Curl
RG Abdul Beecham - Bryce Fitzner
RT Dalton Risner - Breontae Matthews - Alec Ruth
PK Matthew McCrane - Blake Lynch
DE Reggie Walker - Bronson Massie - JC DE
DT Will Geary - Matt Seiwert OR Ray Price
DT Trey Dishon - CJ Reese - Jordon Robertson - JC DT
DE Tanner Wood - Kyle Ball - Davis Clark
LB Elijah Lee - Sam Sizelove - Jayd Kirby
LB Elijah Sullivan OR Justin Hughes - Trent Tanking/Ian Rudzik
CB Duke Shelley - JC CB - Jonathan Durham
CB DJ Reed - JC CB
NB Cre Moore OR AJ Parker
SS Kendall Adams - Sean Newlan - Brogan Berry
FS Denzel Goolsby OR Elijah Walker OR Jordan Noil OR Evan Fields
P Nick Walsh - Mitch Lochbihler
On offense we have to replace Deante Burton, Charles Jones and Terrale Johnson.
At WR we will have Carlos Strickland, Corey Sutton, DJ Render, Isaiah Harris and Zach Reuter all stepping in.
At RB we will have Alex Barnes, Justin Silmon, Dalvin Warmack, Mike McCoy and Tyler Burns.
At OG we will have Abdul Beecham, Tyler Mitchell, Adam Holtorf, Bryce Fitzner, Evan Curl and maybe Breontae Matthews who I could see move to guard some.
On defense we lose Jordan Willis, Mike Moore, Donnie Starks and Dante Barnett.
DE returns Reggie Walker, Tanner Wood, Davis Clark, Bronson Massie, and Kyle Ball. Expect Cats to add 1-2 JC DE's to come in and compete next year.
LB returns Elijah Lee, Elijah Sullivan, Justin Hughes, Jayd Kirby, Trent Tanking, Sam Sizelove, And Ian Rudzik. Could see a JC LB added but doubt it.
CB needs at least 2 JC transfers to come in and compete. We lose Donnie Starks and Cedric Dozier. Need more depth behind Duke and DJ. AJ Parker comes off redshirt and Cre Moore returns with Jonathan Durham. Hoping we land Tareke Lewis and Octavius Morgan.
At safety we lose Dante Barnett but have Elijah Walker coming in from Juco Ranks hopefully in Dec.
add in Jordan Noil, Sean Newlan, Denzel Goolsby and Mario Smiths son and we should have plenty of kids to compete at safety. Also if we add Evan Fields from the HS Ranks he will be in the mix.
Overall lots of returning experience and depth in 2017. Pretty exciting when you also look at the schedule.
Question will be does HCBS return to make one more run or does he hand the keys over to BV or Fleck.
Happy Thanksgiving!!!
