With the Spring Semester underway, a good time to re-cap the gains from the Transfer Portal:
Offense:
Bula Schmidt (Fres St) C – 2nd team all conference
Marcellus Marshall (Kent St) OT – 1st team all conference (as a Freshman)
Amari Kight (Alabama) OT – Veteran back up
Chauncy Magwood (Kentucky) WR – 8 receptions, 121 yrds, 1 TD in 2 seasons
Trent Whittmore (Florida) WR – 33 receptions, 425 yrds, 2 TDs in 3 seasons
Defense:
Jireh Wilson (ECU) LB/S – 6’3 220 lbs, 188 tackles, 16 for loss, 6 sacks, 4 ints in 4 seasons
DeJordan Mask (Tx St) S – 136 tackles, 2.5 for loss, 4 ints in 4 seasons
Fred Davis II (Clemson) CB – High 4* low 5* coming out of HS…..34 tackles, 1.5 for loss, 2 ints in 3 seasons
Brian George (Texas A&M) CB – 23 tackles, 1 int in 3 seasons
Special Teams:
Gage King (Az St) LS
On offense, the big gets in a position of need IMO are the linemen. The miss in a position of need IMO is a QB, where all we have now are unknowns and question marks. The WR transfers are kind of a mystery from a why standpoint, but still wish we got Leary. Another miss might be a TE, I’m just unsure what we have coming back except for Holler and Pittman. Whittemore is 6’ 4” so maybe some spot TE duty.
On Defense, I like what we did for the defensive backfield. Davis is loaded with potential and Mask & George are experienced veterans. The glaring miss was LB, which is why I marked LB for Wilson. I really think that will be his position, like a Bryson Armstrong type.
King should be a Day 1 starter at LS.
