2012 Senior Leadership
Regular season complete, on hold waiting for Bowl Selections, took a quick look at our senior class leadership for next year. Appears we are in good hands with 14 solid guys. Any thoughts on potential captains? Here's the list:
Denard Robinson
Darryl Stonum
Roy Roundtree
Brandon Moore
Ricky Barnum
Elliot Mealer
Rocko Khoury
Patrick Omameh
Craig Roh
Will Campbell
Brandin Hawthorne
Kenny Demens
JT Floyd
Jordan Kovacs
GO BLUE!

Denard, Kovacs and one more

I'm thinking a rep from the trenches -- Roh?

Denard and Kovacs seem like locks at this point. Other than that, maybe JT? Demens? I doubt Stonum gets it after his suspension, but you never know. The players know these guys more than I do, obviously (I don't think many would have pegged Koger as a captain, but he's a leader on the team, for example).
On a related note: BWC is going to be senior? I guess that's right. Poor guy, we will have hardly known him.

I think that they would be great, and Roundtree's Donald Duck pregame speeches would be epic!
November 27th, 2011 at 3:44 PM ^
and the other one im betting is Roh or an OL like Omameh or whoever else has seperated themselves.
November 27th, 2011 at 3:45 PM ^
I wouldn't be surprised to see Omameh as a captain.
November 27th, 2011 at 3:45 PM ^
The first two are givens and I feel as if from what ive seen of Omameh, he is a very well spoken outgoing individual who for lack of a better phrase "gets it". I feel like the loss of RVB and Molk takes a bigger toll on the team from a leadership standpoint than anything.
November 27th, 2011 at 3:50 PM ^
I like how Brandin's name is spelled
November 27th, 2011 at 3:54 PM ^
I'd like to see Mealer, Omameh, or Khoury
November 27th, 2011 at 4:13 PM ^
Barnum, Khoury, Omameh, and Mealer will be instrumental in next years success. Our run game will be sweeeet. Next year we'll have 2-1,500 yard rushers.

I'd agree that Denard and Kovacs are both locks. I'd like to see Roh as the third captain. I've always really liked him and his potential, even though he has disappointed me a little this year. I'm not sure if the whole RichRod defense hurt him when he was switching from DE to LB all the time but I feel like he has great potential for a fantastic season next year after one more year with Hoke and Mattison.

I know he's not a senior, but he's got the most experience on the offensive line, and that is a usual source for captains. Two year captains are rare, but I think Lewan really matured this year. I think the offensive captain will be Denard, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's Roundtree or Lewan. Of course, it could be someone else who is a real locker room leader type that we don't know about yet. I wasn't expecting Koger to be named captain, but he did a great job by all accounts.
