Grad Transfer Olu Oluwatimi is both the biggest at 310 pounds and probably the top candidate for having the biggest first year impact with Vastardis moving on.   Getting spring practice to work with our qbs and the rest of the offensive line will be a huge plus.  Connor Jones is the other offensive lineman enrolling esrly.

5 star Will Johnson probably also makes the list of those with potential for early impact.   While (barring transfer) all the corners who played meaningful minutes are returning, none have the physical tools of Johnson.     He is joined in the db room by newcomers: Kody Jones,  Myles Pollard and Keon Sabb

Could Derrick Moore see early time as a situational pass rusher?   He us joined on the defensive line by Mason Graham

Both qbs (Alex Orji and Jayden Denegal) enrolled early.  If the loser of the McNamara/McCarthy battle transfers, we have no clear #2 QB

While it is going to be hard to break into the wide receiver room, Tyler Morris has a connection with McCarthy playing with him at Nazareth Academy and has the athleticism with a 6’6” high jump.   He is joined in the wide receiver room by 6’3” Darius Clemons and 6’4” Amarion Walker.

Rounding out the early entrants is tight end Colston Loveland

You’re not going to have anybody get over 100 yards consistently when you have a top 10 Rushing attack in the country. Unless you plan on putting up 400+ total yards weekly or moving to the Big 12. Our receiving room is more than good enough. Not including Pickens who didn’t play all year I’d take our WRs over Georgias group easily. You won’t see any crazy wide receivers stats until we get better QB play.
