Fall Roster / New uniform numbers

[orangenauburn]

that's 2 whole kids. I'm talking about the entire group of 13 kids listed on this roster.

The defensive back room averages 6'-3/4" and 189

Jason Poles was good size

Kevin O'Neil was a DB/LB

Can't remember on Phil Nash, Ian McIntosh, and Rod Gadson, though I believe Gadson was good size.

 

[Franz69]

Nolton's weight loss is interesting.

 

[Chip]

regarding Hatcher and Brown you're talking about lean athletic 19 year old kids who could probably eat mcdonalds and drink milkshakes all day long and not gain a pound. Sometimes gaining weight isn't easy for this type of athlete. Young kids, they'll likely physically mature as they go.

I miss the days when I could eat McDonalds and drink milkshakes all day long, all washed down with a 12 pack, and not gain a pound.

Now I eat a salad with no dressing, have 2 Coors Lights, walk 4 miles in an hour, and gain 5 pounds.

The DL group is interesting. Looks like they want to keep Chase and Nolton light and quicker over on their side of the line. Locket and Fuentes-Cundiff with good gains should help us hold up in the middle. Okechukwu even bigger at 276 now!

DL	Kevon Darton	5'-11"	271	266	5
DL	Caleb Okechukwu	6'-4"	276	268	8
DL	Chase Simmons	6'-4"	245	257	-12
DL	Braylen Ingraham	6'-4"	301
DL	Denis Jaquez Jr.	6'-4"	254	240	14
DL	Terry Lockett	6'-3"	280	270	10
DL	Jalil Smith	6'-5"	266
DL	Kevin Jobity Jr.	6'-4"	263	247	16
DL	Francois Nolton Jr.	6'-4"	236	252	-16
DL	Belizaire Bassette	6'-0"	262	260	2
DL	Elijah Fuentes-Cundiff	6'-4"	279	267	12

Great to see. Hope the additional weight enables them to hold up just a hair better against teams that want to line up and run straight at us. I imagine that improved depth / having Ingraham as an option will help, too.

Nolton's weight loss is interesting.

Not sure how he fits at that weight in the scheme. I know we would like quickness but he is the same size as LBs. Now if he is moving to lb his weight makes sense.

 

[OrangeinBoston]

Nolton's weight loss is interesting.

Or is it another reason to doubt the weights given?

 

[FrancoPizza]

Ellis not shedding anything at 375? C'mon man what's the deal. Do you want to play or not?

 

[PhatOrange]

These backers should be ready to dominate, especially with the added size and depth in front of them on the DL.

LB	Marlow Wax	6'-1"	230	239	-9
LB	Stefon Thompson	6'-1"	248	250	-2
LB	Anwar Sparrow	6'-1"	225	219	6
LB	Mekhi Mason	6'-2"	228	221	7
LB	Derek McDonald	6'-4"	224	225	-1
LB	Leon Lowery	6'-4"	239	225	14
LB	David Omopariola	6'-3"	232
LB	Austin Roon	6'-3"	231	228	3
LB	Kadin Bailey	6'-3"	223	217	6

The transfer LB Khalib Gilmore is an intriguing prospect. Kid was cornerback in HS at 6-3 185 and now goes 6-4 225.

 

[sutomcat]

I swear someone had mentioned that Ellis had lost 30lbs but I can't remember who or when this was stated by...hmmm.

Some of us who attended the spring game thought he looked about 30 pounds lighter.

Not sure if we were bad at estimating weights (apparently not a lot of carnival barkers here), or if he gained it back. Maybe it is a mistake and he is a sleek rocket?

I hope so.

 

[NineOneSeven]

Check back when the roster is fully updated with all the freshmen and walkons.

85 or so scholarship players plus 25 or so walkons = more than 100.

Which has always blown my mind. I post often about it.

 

[SoBristol]

Great to see. Hope the additional weight enables them to hold up just a hair better against teams that want to line up and run straight at us. I imagine that improved depth / having Ingraham as an option will help, too.

Agree. Last year we had Geer at 238 at one DE, and his back-ups were in the 240-250 range. They had some quickness, but not the bulk to stand up to power running attacks. Now, Jobity (263), Jaquez (254) and possibly the true frosh Jalil Smith (recruited at 240 now listed as 266) should help.

It hurt to have Geer transfer out, but we do have better depth and size overall. The makings of a good rotation.

 

[CapitalO]

Interesting that Lequint didn't add anything. I thought he may add a few lbs. Then again maybe he just wasn't weighed since he is supposed to be away from the program.

QB	Garrett Shrader	6'-4"	225	228	-3
QB	Carlos Del Rio-Wilson	6'-2"	222	232	-10
QB	Luke MacPhail	6'-4"	212	206	6
RB	LeQuint Allen	6'-0"	195	195	0
RB	Muwaffaq Parkman	5'-11"	180
RB	Ike Daniels	5'-11"	188
RB	Juwan Price	5'-10"	208	202	6

He is a light heavy weight boxer at 195 lbs.

 

[CapitalO]

I really like what I see on this roster even though it is not completed with all the players here, we have good talent size depth and experience, I really feel we are finally a solid middle of the pack ( ACC ) team.

Yup. Depth / talent has increased on both sides of the ball.

Going to be a fun year!

 

[Cuse181]

WR	Trebor Pena	6'-0"	190	177	13
WR	Damien Alford	6'-6"	210	211	-1
WR	Kendall Long	6'-2"	208	215	-7
WR	Umari Hatcher	6'-3"	183	181	2
WR	Isaiah Jones	6'-4"	200	204	-4
WR	D'Marcus Adams	6'-0"	182	176	6
WR	Donovan Brown	6'-1"	178	179	-1

Peyna at 190? Damn

 

[money3189]

Some fluctuate at different weights based on how functional they are in the scheme. Weight gains arent always good. Always fun talking about the new weights and rosters though. It means we are getting close to that time. Yessir

 

[UpstateSM]

Isaiah Johnson in 3 is soooo tough

 

[GoSU96]

LB	David Omopariola	6'-3"	232
LB	Austin Roon	6'-3"	231	228	3
LB	Kadin Bailey	6'-3"	223	217	6

That group has great measures for a speed team.

Jalil Smith intrigues me. If he keeps good athleticism and flexibility at 266, it gives him the scheme ability to move around. I wasn't expecting much from him this season but based on a 20lbs gain count me intrigued.

 

[Cuse'91]

Glad to see Stefon Thompson keep his weight down, even being sidelined with the injury. Hopefully gets back to full speed soon.

 

[florange44]

The transfer LB Khalib Gilmore is an intriguing prospect. Kid was cornerback in HS at 6-3 185 and now goes 6-4 225.

He went to high school a few miles from me. Word is h e looks the part now but he’s not very athletic. We’ll see.

 

[OburgCuse]

Jason Poles was good size

Kevin O'Neil was a DB/LB

Can't remember on Phil Nash, Ian McIntosh, and Rod Gadson, though I believe Gadson was good size.

Off top of my head (since I was on campus these years)….Poles, Charles Burton, Nash were all safeties in 6ft range (Poles little taller)

O’Neil was pretty much exclusively backer after 1st/2nd year on campus when he put on size.

Corners were generally small other than Willie Ford who was 6’2 range. Gadsen was a Smurf at 5’7 175 range, Ian McIntosh 5’10 170ish, Will Allen 5’10.

This was the day and age that the bigger safeties ie Bullock, JR Johnson, O’Neil, Vernon Banks were all moved in the box to the linebackers to improve team speed.
