I need the interior dl and lbs to make a better showing stopping the run. What I saw in the spring game wasn't very encouraging.

Yeah, I left the Spring Game thinking we needed to hit the transfer portal hard this offseason - for D-tackles especially. Hopefully, we will make some roster announcements in the upcoming weeks.

Same for me at spring game. I did not see a lot of dl in the backfield nor solid stops at the point of attack on running plays

The transfer from App State and those big freshmen may help fill that void. I don't think we are limited as much as last year's d-line. This is IF they arrive on campus this summer.

I never expect much from linemen who were in HS last year. Any production we get from them will be a bonus.

True, that's the ideal scenario to use them as backups. I would hope we would grab at least one more experienced lineman from the portal. However, from what I saw from the highlights I believe one of three freshman lineman may force their way on the playing field early similar to Joshua Iseah.

There are actually 4 that are supposed to be coming: - Chris Kinsey/DT/6-2/280/FR - Keon Webb/DT/6-6/300/FR - Jacob Jenkins/DT/6-3/320/FR - Tyrick Hall/DT/6-2/285/FR If any 1 is able to contribute I hope its Jacob Jenkins at NT. Of course, I'd take any one of them contributing.

I think we will definitely have at least one key contributor from this group of Freshmen. If you look at the past 10 years, there have been true freshmen to play key roles on various teams for us. Whether it's been Tarik, Kris Gardin, Elijah Bell or Money Brown on offense, or Joseph Stuckey, Jacob Roberts, Mac McCain, and most recently Josh Isaiah on defense. There will be another leader to raise his hand from this group of Freshmen this year.

Do not forget Caleb Jones Before BC: One season at North Carolina A&T … Freshman All-American … 20 tackles, 5 TFLs, and 3 sacks at NC A&T. Coach Moore has 8 weeks to get those freshman to a point where they can contribute. I predict at least two will consistently see the field.

The issue is with me. On the one hand it would be great if we get a few to some Freshmen contribute this season, but on the other hand if Freshmen are playing or playing significantly, then they are very talented to beat out veterans or some returning players are not living up to expectation which may explain last season record. We are in a wait and see stage right now.

We are in a wait and see stage right now. The size of the returning players just didn't cut it. I don't think the expectations are too high on them (see the spring game). Just from a size advantage, I see some of the freshmen getting on the field.

Maybe he meant Coach Lang?
