Freshman and Sophomores currently on the roster...

[tjb74]

Since this will be a slow few weeks and the biggest bonus to playing in a bowl game is to get the young guys on the roster some extra work, just wanted to look at some guys who we may become more familiar with next year.

We know the guys who are playing this year already (Keene, Titus, Brandon Adams), does anyone have any thoughts on some of these guys?? Alphabetical order along with their 247 ranking coming out of HS.

Matthew Alexander(FR) DL 6-3 280...(.8322)
Patrick Barnett(FR) OL 6-6 300...(.8322)
Charlie Browder(FR) TE 6-7 260...(.8485)
Kervins Choute(SO) DL 6-3 285...(.8343)
Dallas Corbitt(SO) DL 6-5 240...(.8706)
Keenan Culpit(FR) DL 6-2 255...(.8269)
Jordan Davis(FR) TE 6-4 250...(.8342)
Jaiden Francois(FR) DB 6-0 190...(.9047) transfer from Nebraska
Jordan Johnson(FR) WR 6-2 185...(.9822) transfer Notre Dame
Cole Joyce(FR) LB 6-1 235...(.8560)
Malachi Lawrence(FR) DL 6-4 270...(.8477)
Kadeem Leonard(FR) LB 6-3 230...(.8390)
Adrian Medley(SO) OL 6-5 305...(.8654)
Ethan Mort(FR) OL 6-6 290...(.8526)
Quade Mosier(SO) LB 6-2 225...(N/A)
Paul Rubelt(SO) OL 6-10 330...(.8572)
William Wells(FR) DB 6-2 185...(.8336)
Leander Wiegand(FR) OL 6-5 290...(.8449)
Anthony Williams(FR) RB 6-0 215...(.8389)

At first glance I am a little worried about depth behind Bethune and Jean-Baptist at LB and who steps up at OL with 3 starters leaving?? Thoughts??

Are we sure 3 OL are leaving? I think Sneider and Jackson have 1 more year if they want it. Tatum is out of eligibility.

All 3 of them walked on Senior Day so going off that I would say they are done. But I know Jake Hescock walked on Senior Day last year and then came back so I guess it is possible.

From your list, A. Medley got some run briefly this year with the starters when Matt Lee was out (Louisville game some, Temple game some). Schneider bumped over to center, Medley got some reps at left guard. I think he’s a good candidate to fill in somewhere on the left side (we will need a tackle and a guard).

Gus tried to utilize Browder’s size a couple times this year in goal to go situations, throwing him jump balls, but he failed to come down successfully with any of the attempts.

Wells obviously got the big sack late in the game against USF. He’s actually played a decent amount late in the season.

Short response, if recall Quade Mosier played a few snaps this year. Also wondering how the big guy from Germany is progressing Paul Rebelt 6_10 330. He has the size to play basketball.

Rubelt is always on the ESPN+ show. Not doing anything, just in meetings and OLine pep talks.

 

[Knight Strength]

None of them have played much at all but looking forward to seeing many of these guys in the future.

Well size is not always the key factor for offensive lineman. It's all about the foot work. I hope he gets to play. At least put him in to block field goals.

Nice list: Definitely going to needs some players to step up at linebacker. Maybe possible for a DB to move into the LB position

Johnson from ND, I need to see what 5 stars looks like compared to what we already have.

Johnson played this year. He just wasn’t very good.

Yeah with Brandon Johnson and Craig-Myers moving on you would think he should get a ton of playing time to show what he has (if anything).

Yes certainly in the upcoming camps he'd get more reps just by nature. No Kaedin Robinson either so he's one of only a couple WRs on the roster with any size. Tyler Griffin comes in and has great size. It's gotta be now or never for someone like Jordan.

I don't recall him getting notable numbers of snaps in game, and never registered a catch. So yeah, maybe he's just another 5-star bust.
