IMO, players like Malachi James (RB), Jamie Tremble (TE), BJ Long (S), King Joseph Edwards and a freshman receiver or two will all play this year.  (See below for my comment regarding Barnes) They may only play in four games so they can use a redshirt year.  But they will play because these days coaches need to continue to recruit their rosters or risk losing quality players hitting the portal.

We are deep enough that unless the injury bugs hits (fingers crossed) guys like these won’t burn a redshirt year unless we need them, or they play themselves into a contributing role like Barnes has at CB.

One area where we should be improved is our special teams.  This roster is bigger, faster and stronger than recent years. Did I say faster?  Coach Fran seems to want to play the best players possible on special teams.  I heard Gadsden is running with the first team punt team (not something I would do).  If true, that tells you the importance this staff puts in special teams.

I am looking forward to watching this team play and develop as the season progresses.  (I got excited yesterday when my parking passes arrived in the mail yesterday).

Stay healthy (last week we lost a pretty good player for the season.  That's two so far).

Go Orange!
