Transfers and where we stand- Defense Backfield

Starting with the Backfield:

CBs:

Transfer in:
Jamroc Grimsley 6'3" 200lbs rated 4 star. No real PT.. does have a PD and tackle.

Quentin Taylor Jr 6'0 and 205lbs. Played all season. He's good in the run game and will absolutely lay the wood. 27 tackles and 5 PD. You can actually watch highlights of him on youtube. I will link in posts below.

Kaylib Singleton 6'1" 190lbs True freshman who saw the field. Not alot. I suspect a back up will be his roll.

Returning:

Kelly Jones. So 4 star
Jett Johnson Jr
Kyle Johnson Freshman 4 star

Our CB room, on paper is already better.


S

Transfer In:

Marcus Williams Has played alot of football. Spent 5 years at Rice. So he is an experience piece.

Signed:
Bralan Womack 5 star and he will see the field.

Returning:

Smith.


I know there were 2 Safeties in yesterday. I assume, we are looking for 1 more that will be on the field. We do have some CBs that came in too. We may end up with another one. Over all, this is an SEC backfield. I do expect that part of the defense to be better.

There are only 2 positions that matter and that the O and D line. And right now according to everyone thats been underwhelming so far.

I would like to know what’s going on inside, because on the outside he’s correct. Who are we going to sign up front? This is not a troll.

Agree

I really hope there is a lot of good going on that we just can?t see. The last 2 years have been rough but there is a lot to sell about this team going into next year

They are the only two that matter, if you have the other spots figured out. Got to pay attention to all of them.

We have actually signed some help on the DL. It's OL thats concerning right now

Still need a legit edge rusher and a war daddy nose guard.

That nose guard from A&M would be a huge addition to the DL. I believe we are about to sign the guy from LSU that will be a center here and hopefully the LT from UAB….but we will see

Dont forget Whitson returns. The NG? Absolutely. Need a beast there

What I do like is the over all attention to getting some players with experience for the here and now with a lot of highly rated talent. We have 1 year to test those younger talented guys. Should they work out, we can retain them and there is our starters for 2027 . That's when I believe our DEPTH will be what we need it to be to challenge.

Getting Whitson back is huge. We also get Trevion Williams and Dinkins back too. We need more but there is a foundation there at least. I agree we need a NT type more than anything.

I agree. We're probably one year away from being where we need to be depth wise.

We're still in it with the guard from North Carolina too. Miles McVay. Would be a massive pick up. And much like Whitson we get Steen back at tackle.

Whitson is a DE/DT. Need a SAM/edge rusher

Sounds like we passed on the LT from UAB. He catfished us apparently. Like 3 inches shorter than his listed height. I’m beginning to get worried about the LT spot. We really have to get someone there on matter what it takes. Promise them money and then fundraise it if you have to. Can’t go into the year without a legit guy there.

Don't forget a fat girlfriend to seal the deal.
