I'll have to learn the roster first.
I don't even figure out who we have until halfway through the season, and then it all changes again the following year.
College football is broken.

Where do you feel Zach Weeks is? He was good enough to come in a bit this year.

No way Anderson, Brown and Duece don’t play on DL. They might not start but by midseason they will be heavily in rotation.

In our Odd front looks I could see this being the deal.

Spears could play Star and Benfield play safety.

STAR: Zach Weeks.
Star has a lot of responsibilities and WE need somebody with "Fast Information Processing Skills" that can handle the assignment overload and not get lost mentally.

TJ, PJ and DJ all starterd?
Posted on 1/21/26 at 3:22 pm to redfishfan
Also it's pretty much confirmed that Spears takes on the STAR role and Benefield replaces AJ Haulcy at FS

you must be fun at parties
Posted on 1/21/26 at 3:25 pm to SammyTiger
Spears is going to Star. Benefield and Cooley will be the safeties.
Posted on 1/21/26 at 4:15 pm to iamandykeim
Dick Anderson is going to play a lot.

This is a cheap take, but there will be around 15 different “starters” on defense.
Baker is loaded with talent and the guys on the field will be package driven

I mean, that is filthy. And each position has 1. experienced depth and 2. Young talented third string depth

Not sure Keys has the speed for Star

Pretty sure Mascona was the person who said they're looking at Spears for Star.
Which means anyone on the roster besides Spears will play there.
