If he didn't believe he could play on day one, then I wouldn't want him on the team. But that doesn't get you on the field. #1 he is listed at 205lbs. #2 he has to beat out some talented competition who look pretty darn good. I hope he is good enough to start day one, and the fact that the other backer is recovering from a knee injury might help his case, but I don't see him taking a starting job from the 3 guys I believe will be our starters. Croutch, Conner and Popp.
That’s a decent 3.
T.J. Robison came highly recruited as well.
Depth is always a concern. Look for for someone we haven’t mentioned to also push for pt. Gullett played some LB last year.
