GrayEagle · August 5, 2011

Two impact players are on that list...Cam Feldt, the Arkansas transfer and Kendall Washington, the 76th rated safety this past draft. He accepted very late and could be gray-shirting or just reporting late, I don't know which.

The rest are walkons which usually means that they are either a few pounds too light, a few inches too short or a few steps to slow. However, there are 6-8 of those with better chances than the others.

Nick Crewe probably had FCS offers but chose to try his hand here. He's a possibility.

Ryan Long of Leonard (hometown of the Renfros) has looked good at times but needs consistency.

Tanner Smith is the son of Charlie Smith, a letterman from the 80s

Jeremy Brown has great speed but is just too small

Dimitri Wilhite is pretty much Jeremy Brown revisited.

I wish that we could keep Jason Bruner just to lead the charge onto the field. They wouldn't think that we were samll with his 6'9", 311 pound frame leading the charge. He's actually a long snapper from Mineola who went to Trinity Valley CC.

All appeared in the spring but I don't expect many, other than those listed above, to return for the fall.

A 5'-11" TE?

Merle · August 5, 2011

I think he will be playing more of the h-back role.

If Washington is a gray shirt, he is not allowed to practice with the team or be on the roster. would become eligible in the spring.

Crewe was relatively highly regarded DE out of The Woodlands, but I think he was injured his senior year.

Censored by Laurie · August 5, 2011

I think the Marcus Smith on the roster is the same Dodge signed out of San Antonio...both were 6'4", both went to Warren HS...not sure if his hometown happens to be Fayetteville, NC or if its a typo, but that Marcus Smith was pretty well thought of before he tore his ACL or some-such.

Brown impressed in the Spring...screw measurables, I'd rather have a football player...and to boot he's listed as the same size as James Hamilton and Brelan Chancellor, and they make plays as I recall

Delgado is a transfer from SFA

Colton Clay was in someway associated with henderson State...his is a good football name
