This is a good point. Coach Brown took time to mention Kubala and Masters in his post game speech at the trophy presentation when he was talking about the team culture and leaders.
And OX did not include Zuhr in his list of returning scholarship players (sorry
orangemass). Which makes sense as to date, he hasn’t been on scholarship. But some long snapper is going to get a scholarship. Presuamly it will be Stangle or Zuhr.
If you reserve space for just these players, any room for additional players from the portal is going to need to come from players already on the roster leaving.
My guess is we’re going to add four or five more and can expect four or five more to leave.
Just as an aside, props to Coach Brown for what he did with the walk ons for the bowl game.
I think he realized for many, this was their last go around as walk ons. He made sure they all made the trip and when the game got out of hand, he made sure to get some of them in the game. We had a walk on covering the guy that scored a touchdown for Washington State on that last drive they had. And it was a walk on Kyle flipped the ball to after he took a knee in the victory formation on the final play of the game. Just so that kid could get a little air time on TV.
Classy move.
