This team is loaded with young talent and with all the blowouts, players are getting reps.
Our DEs next year. Tuszka and Waege. Experience with Logan McCormick and Tanner Sundt. Lots of young talent
Our DTs Cole Karcz and senior Jack Darnell. Guys like Quin Alo and Layne Tucker have a few years in the system. Once again toms of young talent
Linebackers. Lose Marlette and Levi Jordheim. Jabril is the star returner. Jaxon Browne returns. Lots of able bodies with several years in the system like Jaxon Hankey, Aaron Mercadel, Begley, and Beau Pauley
Corners. Bridges and Hayes plus Dom Davis
Safeties - Hendricks and Tutsie
Lots of young talent
Offensive Line. Tackles Radunz and Zack Johnson plus Cordl Volson. Guards and Center, many experienced able bodies
TEs. Loaded. Ellefson, Babich, Gindorf
RBs. Ty Brooks, Seth Wilson, Saybein Clark, Cofield, and Dimitri Williams (who can also play receiver)
WR - Christian Watson and Sproles. Lots of question mark's but good young talent or experienced system players
FB- Brock Robbins, Mahlstrom
QB... biggest? mark, may need to simplify like Eastons freshman year
Dline will be talented but not as deep. But this team will have star power and talent

Agree with much of what Herdbot said but I don't want to rest hopes on "lots of young talent" which usually just means who the hell knows.
DE: Spencer and Waege are the only "sure things" Could be looking at only 2 legit starting calber DEs next year.
QB: Scary transition. Exciting though!
WR: No veteran leader left in the clubhouse. Young kids need to step up with their new QB.
OL: Losing the entire interior is hard to replace, if nothing else from a chemistry stand point.
Those are the 4 biggest concerns I have. Easy to say across the board we don't know about our depth in most positions but that is the case most years. If I had guess, our defense will sort itself out as it usually seems to. QB and WR will be the big questions that persist.

Some assistant coaches have been let go already.

My boss hates it when I shorten his name to Dick, mainly because his name is Steven.
I know it has been a very small sample size but I find myself starting to notice Dallas out on the field and seems to be putting together a nice little ending to the season. The group is still very much an unknown heading into next year but it just seems like he has been putting himself in a position to be successful lately.
Ben Ellefson, Brock Robbins, Ty Brooks, Zack Johnson, James Hendricks. Doesn't always have to be a QB. Plenty of seniors to take the mantle next year.
