On my roster, we are just about set at OL. Room for one more. Would be really surprised if we took Reed and Magnuson. Unless we take Magnuson at DL, which I would support and which i think is a real possibility.
Leif was listed primarily as a DE up until recently. He has played a lot of DL and is good there and with his frame and pedigree, I am confident he will continue to fill out,
Whlie he is from Saskatoon, he played last year at Mississauga, ON, which is between Toronto and Buffalo.
Our primary competition for Leif is Indiana, who just lost their OC. He is becoming the HC at Fresno State. My guess is that this helps our chances for him, if we decide we want him. Not sure if he will be best at OL or DL but I know guys with his agility and physical nature don’t grow on trees.
Agree we need to add 2 DT/NG types. Magnuson is listed at 270 last I knew. That is close enough for me.
No idea who the 2nd DT/NG might be, but I would be good getting a 6’4, 250 or so athletic guy with a big frame and develop him.
Agree we need 2 QBs. Hope one can be 2020 and one can be a transfer. Our depth at QB is so bad now we should be in a position where any QB who wants to play early should be interested in coming here.
I choose to count Atkinson at DB. That leaves maybe one more scholarship. I would probably give it to the best available LB. Washington looks very good but we are in good shape at RB right now. We have 2 or 3 too many WRs and I expect movement here. Towards that end, I have Tabor starting at nickel, Barron starting at TE and Wax starting at MIKE.
I expect Mang is going to become an OT down the road and Qadir and Josh Ilaoa to end up at center. Someone has to.
