Wheat is going play OLB at 260?
Cole Smith over 300 is good.
Charles Cross is 290. Is that what we're hoping for?
Power Warren is listed. No opt out.
Tyler Williams is listed. Is that interesting?
JaVonta Payton now rocking #0. Didn't realize that was allowed, but I like it for some reason.
ETA: I thought it might be an error on the site, but it's real:

Early dibs on Camp Tice being the ultimate Leach diamond in the rough!
Jordan Davis listed as 260 as well. Same position.Quote:

New rule change this season allows 0, but not 00 (which I hate, give me a Robert Parrish 00!)Quote:

Also, glad to see Jaylen Mayden stuck around.
It's 120 names on the roster that's why.Quote:

Jevon Banks at 6’2” and 285.
3 technique?Quote:

No, it seems Wheat has been moved from WILL to SAM, so same edge position as Davis. He's listed that way on the roster and Paul Jones confirmed.Quote:

Some that I noticed. I always like to look at the freshmen going into their soph year and the weight gain some attain with a training table and a strength program.
King Ani from 6-4 230 to 255
De'monte Russell from 6-4 230 to 250
Jalen Mayden dropped 10 pounds
Lee Witherspoon dropped 10 pounds
Kobe Jones dropped 10 pounds
Cole Smith from 6-3 285 to 305
LaQuinston Sharp from 6-3 315 to 300
Kameron Jones from 6-5 325 to 305
"Dolla Bill" Johnson from 6-7 330 to 315
Charles Cross from 6-5 270 to 290
TE room...or what was the TE room
Geor'quarius Spivey from 6-5 250 to 240
Brad Cumbest from 6-5 250 to 245
Dontea Jones from 6-4 250 to 230
Some i'm not sure are positives....
Dareuan Parker from 6-4 330 to 355
James Jackson from 6-3 315 to 330 now on the OL
Marquiss Spencer from 6-4 285 to 300
Another notable:
Erroll Thompson from 6-1 250 to 250 Yeah...no change, at least on paper. I thought he was heavier and a step or two slower last year. I'll guess we'll see.
The Sam backers have to play a 4-3 de role at times in this scheme. Saw a quote from one of the coaches not too long ago, so 260 probably a good weight for that in between role.
From what little I know, Errol has added muscle and leaned up a bit so that's a good trade.Quote:

Taury Dixon has been a DB since he's been here from Scooba, moved to WR.
Quite a few guys walked on this year out of juco
I thought we were told specifically that Tyler Williams was not an opt out issue for COVID-19? Something else is going on with him.Quote:

Hell, it looked like he was carrying 15 or more extra lbs last year, but I'm guessing it wasn't that bad.Quote:

Seriously, if you are not in school why would you even need a scholarship?Quote:
