Can't wait to see next years monster blockers take the field and blow out defenders (even those 5 star players at Oregon):
TE Noah Gindorf JR 6'-6" 266#
LT Dillon Radunz SR 6'-6" 301#
LG Nash Jensen JR 6'-4" 331#
C Karson Schoening SR 6'-5" 300#
RG Zach Kubas SR 6'-4" 298#
RT Cordell Volson SR 6'-6" 312#
TE Josh Babicz JR 6'-6" 252#
FB Hunter Luepke SO 6'-1" 246#
This starting front 5 (without TEs and FB) average 6'-5" and 308.4 pounds. Lots of experience and toughness on the Bison O-Line! Add to that the size, catching ability and experience of 2 returning TEs. And then there is the outstanding punishing FB we have in Luepke who can run and catch well for a big man. Going to be fun to watch with the stable of 4 or 5 good RBs we have coming back! And we got Lance as our QB and Watson and Sproles for WRs!
Might be a couple changes to the above positions, but I just picked starters and a backup from last year and filled in one of the open guard positions with a Senior.
That's a great group.
A few questions for the season.
Will Seth Wilson still have the same speed and agility he had prior to his injury?
Will Braylon Henderson be a playmaker at slot? Is Kaden Kuntz 100% healthy? Will he get some reps at slot? How about Raja Nelson?
Who will get most of the reps behind Christian Watson and Phoenix Sproles at WR? Is Zac Mathis 100% healthy and will he take a step up this year? Will D.J. Hart be a future star at WR?
Is TK Marshall a future star at RB?
Will Luke Weerts move outside at LB?
How will Dylan Evans and Javier Jerritt do at DT?
Who will emerge as the backup CBs? Will Courtney Eubanks gets some reps?
Yes, Seth Wilson is a future All-American and will prove it!
Be careful of your presumptions. Jake Lippe could be the starting possession receiver with Sproles working the slot. Mathis could also be taking snaps at wide-out.
If Weerts moves outside it will be a WTH? moment. We could see Wlodarczyk playing LB like Kazor did last year.
Bison may actually have a lot more interior DL talent than edge talent for the first time in __________________
If Dom Jones stays at safety I will be surprised. He looks like a prototypical Tampa 2 CB to me.
Don't forget about Jayden Price as nickel CB or dime DB.
Toooo much talent at RB to even think about Marshall yet.
As someone mentioned in an earlier post, any chance Quinn Alo gets moved back to DT? In the first place why was he moved to O-line Guard from D Tackle? Did the Bison just have a shortage of mature offensive Guards last year, or was Quinn not doing well on the D-line at this level? Seems at 6'2" and 301 pounds he would be a great run stopper in the middle of our defense as we have a lack of D-line players above 280 pounds.

He had the advantage of time. The timing of the injury has given him so much extra time to rehab the right way. A lot of times these guys hurry the process and screw up their futures. I really hated it when DeLuca came back right away from the meniscus. I don't think he ever recovered his previous speed and explosion.
Real good vibes concerning Seth though. Really hope they use him extensively in the pass game.
Ross Uglem's picks for starting linebackers in 2020: Kaczor at SAM, Hankey at MIKE and Weerts and Mercadel either rotate at WILL or there is a competition for that spot.
