2017 Recruiting Updates

Engel will hopefully be good, but if he were as all world as a few people seem to think he would have played last year. CB seems like a huge need to me. I'm just assuming the staff feels good about the guys we have coming back at corner

Agree 100% with you on this. Hoping he ends up being a good player for us but as thin as we were at WR last year, he would have played last year.

He does look good but looks like he has the frame to put on some weight. Hopefully him and Engel can develop so we can have two big fast receivers to cover. Wasn't Engel hurt at the beginning of last year and part of the reason he redshirted?

Yes he got nicked up at camp and missed some time during the install. He will be a major force this year and a huge target. We never had a 6:6 210 WR that runs a 4.5. He will keep all the safeties back and will not be able to play in the box so much. RJ will benefit since he will be able to move back to his normal position.

We don't NEED a DT this year with Metz, Tucker, and Alo last year and Hubbs and Darnell the year before but getting another this year would be a bonus.

Cornerback though is a dramatic need. The numbers are kind if frightening and I hate going out and getting Juco players. They are an 80 percent bust. What's the last impactful Juco we signed. Seems like we're getting too many guys who are safety/corner hybrids and no true cover corners.

Is Hubbs done due to injury?

Is Hubbs done due to injury?

Not that I am aware of but it's possible I missed it. He was injured his senior year of high school though which slowed his development

Very good local player. His dad coached at Warren Central for a couple years. They are one of the best programs in the state. He had played at Lawrence Central (district I live in and the school Tre Roberson attended) but transferred to Warren Central his senior year. He was one of the top defensive players in the state.
