Hope to see a few of these guys dress for the Celebration Bowl. It would be a good experience for some of these kids to put on the Blue and Gold for the first time during a nationally televised bowl game.

The redshirts did a good job of redshirting. Tevaughn Higgins gets an A for getting snaps in 3 games while still maintaining his redshirt. Don't forget to add transfer OG De'jour Simpson to that group as well.
Branch/Nwachukwu get a C. I have concerns about the DT spot in 2019 if KD Kendrick doesn't return.
Antoine Wilder gets an A. Couldn't have asked for much more than what we got from him at OLB.
I love Jah-Maine Martin. But he gets a B. When his hands catch up to his feet, this will turn into an A next year. But to be 3rd-team All-MEAC as a backup is big.
Joe Stuckey gets a B as well. He was dynamite earlier in the season on ST, but was less impactful down the stretch. I expect big things from him in the secondary in 2019.

This next class will be the key to our continued success. I hope we are able to hit a couple home runs.

We need to bring in some more stud interior linemen on defense.
Right now we dont have a true 1 technique on the roster ... other than maybe McKnight, but he is probably a true 3

martin gets an "a", he had "butter fingers" earlier in the season but seems to have corrected it late in the season
wilder get an "a+", his only problem was keeping his helmet on
as for everybody else, particularly the "true freshmen", i sure hope there's someone in the bunch who can "catch and return" punts...

I think this next recruiting class is going be big for the program. as AGGIE5 said.
I want to see more quality D-lineman and O-lineman. We need Corners and another QB. would like to see Hendon Hooker come back home. A stud RB
I think we are good at Safety, WR, and now Linebacker for next year but hey, if they can play then bring them in. Im also excited to see the new D-1 and JUCO transfers we get

It would be a good experience for some of these kids to put on the Blue and Gold for the first time during a nationally televised bowl game. They All should being that they have four games to participate without loss of a redshirt. It would be great motivation going into spring training as well as post season. |

We really only burned two redshirts Rivers and Stuckey and both were effective on the field

Darius Graves, RB, 5-8, 202 (UNC Transfer) - C (played a lot on special teams, didn't crack the rotation at RB)

does anyone know if there is a travel rule on the amount of players we can bring and dress for bowl games?

The travel limits are suspended for bowl games. You can take as many as you want.
