5 walk-on fullbacks stands out.
February 29th, 2016 at 6:00 PM ^
I love walkons.
Can't wait to see who rises to the occassion.

I still remember being excited about his HS highlight tapes. I know it was Utah, but he was a big kid making guys miss, running guys over, and outrunning guys.
I thought he might even get a run at RB, ala some of the big backs of the big ten. I was happy to see him get some carries and show off what he could do. Not just a wasted redshirt, but a wasted talent in his previous 3 years.

My money is on Dickow.
February 29th, 2016 at 7:38 PM ^
He used to be a OG in high school so he must be used to taking on linebackers.

coming off an injury, I was thinking it was bad weight until I read the article and saw a picture of him. He does not look like a guy pushing 300. Man, what a possible threat at TE with possible pass blocking and pass catching. i'd hate to be the DB that has to cover or take him down.

No, that's not until August when ALL the jersey numbers are known.
February 29th, 2016 at 5:52 PM ^
Granted I didnt research this statement like WD would but it feels like interesting, easy analysis that I first saw on mgoblog is being replicated by mainstream media

We have so many players from the state that we just call them "New Jersey Numbers" now???
February 29th, 2016 at 5:54 PM ^
Is everybody a TE now?

too many #8s. Either Wheatley or O'Korn has to change.
February 29th, 2016 at 7:41 PM ^
Probably Wheatley since O'Korn just moved there and is more likely to start than Wheatley is right now (Butt is obviously in front of him)
February 29th, 2016 at 9:08 PM ^
6 (like Dad, but taken by Kareem Walker. Maybe)
18 (Peters likely to redshirt)
23 (2^3, Kingston Davis likely to redshirt)
26 (2+6)
28
38 (over walkon LS Brandon Deeg)
42 (4*2)
44 (4+4)
48 (is retired)
80 (Taken by Khalid Hill)
88 (Taken by Jake Butt)
98 (is retired)
Hmmn...I'd wager 6, 18 or 28

His legs can't handle his current weight.

very easily and Drake Harris appears to be one of them. This brings into question his future as a football player here, his hamstring problems notwithstanding.

both play defense, then perhaps Ahmir Mitchell to safety is not a foregone conclusion.
Which would be great by me. I enjoyed Ahmir's WR tape, and would love to see what he can do as a WR.
February 29th, 2016 at 6:33 PM ^
Agreed. I think he brings a skillset to the table that the other receivers in the class do not.
February 29th, 2016 at 7:44 PM ^
So for the time being we're good.

ALL WEIGHT GAIN IS GOOD.
ALL WEIGHT LOSS IS GOOD.
TY WHEATLEY WILL BE A 338 LB TE in 2 YEARS AND YOU WILL CALL HARBAUGH GENIUS.*
*Wheatley doesn't even look "beefy" in that photo - sheesh he can wear 290 lbs well.

Unfortunately, Winovich is tracking that career path like a Ross Taylor Douglas where they keep moving him over the field on offense and defense trying to find a spot anywhere he can be useful.
Considering the urgent needs at LB I suppose that leaves us with Furbush and Wangler as 2 of the remaining 4 LBs in that class who have a chance to actually play it.
