Specifically, experience at the DT position it goes without saying the only person we're bringing back is Christopher Allen Jr. The other true DT's are true freshman. There's more returning experience at DT than just Allen. Kelvin Broadhurst(R-So.), Chris Abraham (R-So.), and Javon Armstrong-Grady (R-Jr.) all played extensive minutes last season. Yes they were young, but their biggest problem all season long was the lack of size as compared to the CAA 0-lines they faced. ATLaggie - Though I believe A1 meant Henry Daniel as opposed to Javon Armstrong-Grady (DE/LB), the points he & 2039 make still stand...at least for now. If the 4 DT's we signed show up we'll have 8 DTs. Hopefully we'll get 1 or 2 more experienced ones out of the portal. And we could still get more freshmen...see Bhayshul Tuten a few years ago.

That time shrinks if he goes 2 or 3 wins this season. We should have at least four wins. Winston Salem State North Carolina Central South Carolina State Hampton Maybe two more. Elon Campbell I agree jrob. And with a bit of luck/more than expected, maybe 1 more (Towson). That said, you never really know what's gonna happen with teams from year-to-year.

No, I'm not paying out that contract, but we're supposed to get a new chancellor soon, so I would think no one is safe. Athletics might be 5th on the new chancellors list and that’s being kind. 5th is actuall about right in my mind too. 1. Safety on campus and surrounding areas 2. R1 status 3. Endowment growth for scholarships 4. Facilities/Capital 5. Athletics Upgrades 6-20. Everything else

His contract says he has a lot of time. That time shrinks if he goes 2 or 3 wins this season. Which page? Unless he agreed to an amended contract I don’t believe that’s remotely true. In fact, in the history of the world, when has a contract been directly tied to a specific number of wins? Sorry to go off topic like this but I feel like it does a disservice to make stuff up.

Alot of these guys I am not considering as DT's, I hope they've put on significant weight.

Alot of these guys I am not considering as DT's, I hope they've put on significant weight. 1. You said "at DT position". 2. What weight do you believe an FCS DT should weigh? For me it's 280 and up . Any Inside D lineman under 280 shouldn't be playing on the inside and definitely not full time zero technique (the nose) in the 3-4. Don't get it twisted there are some exceptions and it depends on the athlete. If he is quick off the ball and demands double teaming to tie up blockers and free up the linebackers to fill the gaps, fine but remember we had that last year but our linebackers inside we're slow at filling the gaps and securing Gap integrity, along with missing tackles. Even the DB coming downhill into the Gap missed tackles. It wasn't that the three four was bad, it was that we missed a lot of tackles last season. But we did play better in a four-man front than the three man front and lack of depth on the inside hurt us a lot. You have to have size 4 size when substituting in rotation. You can't go from 300 or 280 down to 245 or 260 that's just not going to work that's where the depth comes into play. We still need more defensive tackles at least at 280 or 290 minimum with 300 and up Maxima. As someone pointed out as the game progresses players get tired and need a break and you cannot relieve them with a 260 lb DT's. It's that simple.

You can never have enough proven talent at D-End. I think it would be in the best interest of both parties if he got a mulligan and returned in 2024. But who knows what it really going on behind the scenes. There is no way I'm entering the portal as a FCS player unless I have a pretty good idea on where I might land. His scholarship is used🧐 He not coming back without a scholarship I agree, no FCS players should leave without an offer Is Hooker a walkon at FAMU? I took Alston Hooker out to lunch this afternoon. He’s getting adjusted and is doing well. He is on scholarship and had a near-perfect semester academically. He has a short internship coming up and will be back for his summer workouts. (Will attempt to post a photo…didn’t have any luck posting one from my phone on here last year.)
