- Hoke said Brendan GIbbons is on pace to be the starting placekicker, leaving Wile for kickoff, and Wile/Broekhuizen for punting.
- Freshman LB Desmond Morgan is expected to play this fall.

Desmond Morgan expected to play this fall, too. Interesting. Looks like two of the least hyped D players (Frank Clark and Morgan) are the two that stand to play the most this year.
EDIT: My opinion/guess. You can probably throw Greg Brown in there too.
