For me it is nose tackle Tevinn Cantly. He was recruited by Dodge as a project who came on late in his high school career (perhaps he didn't play until his junior year?). He had that one thing you can't teach -- size and a fair amount of speed but was raw.

Dodge or more likely Mendoza tried to play him at defensive end which was one of many personnel mistakes they made. He underachieved in his first two years and suffered some injuries. I was ready to write him off but last season he started to really show me something. The guy is 6-4, 300 and pretty quick. Something mentally clicked in him last year...his game seemed to get more physical, more intense...

We know that Big Dick Abbé is starting to come on and Boutwell is already a key contributer. I just have this feeling that Cantly could surprise us and have a big year.

BULL!!!!....Mustafa Haboul...freshman from Arlington Martin.

Truss - if I had chosen a true fresh The Bull would be in the mix for sure. Can't wait to see this kid in Apogee!!'

I'm partial to #90 as well. I still think that Boutwell would make a better DE than a tackle but he just keeps improving. He'll probably come in at 270 this fall which will still be undersized for the position but he'll do his job and the DL will be better for it.

This team does not have a lot of playmakers. Can he be one who steps up to the plate ? Impressed me at the Spring game with his speed & quickness

275 right now.

Will Wright

Wright will have to step up big time this season playing along side Jeremy Phillips and Zach Orr. Losing Stok hurt, the kid was beast plain and simply put, but Wright is probably more inclined in the passing game and more of a physical presence. He has the tools and the size to be a playmaker, he just hasn't shown it yet. Hopefully with another season to develop we'll start to see the front seven take over games, I think we'll have 4 all conference selections from the front seven.

Harry, I like what you're saying, and also feel that Cantly, even when playing hurt, kept coming on stronger and stronger. The manager in our office is "friends of the family" and says that Tevinn is a stud. He'll do his damnedest this year, and I'm sure that more of us will see what you're seeing.

I am going with the oline(sorry for not picking a player). I think under mac these guys are gonna get push and keep the qb upright. Which makes for a good year for the offense.

There are lot of intriguing players and for NT to be successful a lot are going to have to significantly step up their games. Picking one, I am going to go with Phillips; the forgotten lb. He had good freshman and sophomores years and I think will finish out big as a senior. Always has been a big play producer, and I look for him to be one of the best players on the team.

Unfortunately, Stock was one of the guys I was most interested in seeing. I'll go with Chaz Sampson. It would make a huge impact on the offense if he was able to come in and make a difference right away.

      Finishing Out the '25 Class

      Please keep in mind that it looks like shortly they will be changing the roster limits and the amount of players eligible to be put on scholarships. I believe then you will have to keep the minimum of 85 but you will be able to go higher if you choose but with a lower total number of players that can be in the program.

      Finishing Out the '25 Class

      Thank you for this insightful recap Billy.

      Finishing Out the '25 Class

      1. I have us at about 80 scholarship players. This count does not include Makenzie McGill who we almost assuredly need to put on scholarship to keep, and Evan Jackson who deleted his transfer portal post and hasn’t posted anything since. Also does not include high school commit Terrence Lewis who still seems in line to sign in February. That being said, we probably could sign a few more HS guys this February. We have space and likely will have more space after spring to bring in more portal guys this summer if needed. 2. Probably will have a better idea on this after spring when we have a better idea of where we still are weaker than we want to be. We have pretty good numbers at each position. 3. There definitely will be more transfers after spring but pure speculation on who. Larry Moore appears to be passed over at tackle, and I doubt he wants to spend his last season of eligibility on the bench. Same for VJ Bronson at DT. At safety I don’t expect Isheem Young to come back but I could be wrong. He came here because of Caponi and we seem to have been recruiting that position as if he isn’t coming back. BJ Allen at safety looks like he is in danger of getting passed up by multiple guys so he could be better off looking elsewhere for more playing time. I think Zach Evans is similarly buried on the depth chart. I‘d be surprised if any of those 5 guys were still here after spring. Those are 5 spots I pretty much expect to open up just based on guys who are sort of the odd men out at their spots, but looks like they’ll be here through spring to have a chance to carve out bigger roles.

      SMU 's New Facility

      Many people on this board, constantly talk about competing with SMU. We should also pay attention to what TCU and other programs are doing, so we have a bar to set for ourselves. Ignoring the competition, gets us where we are now.
