Even though most of our 16-man Senior class figures to be at least a rotational player this upcoming season, the Junior and Sophomore classes (and some Freshmen too) are likely to be major contributors as well based on the information that is out there.
Off the top of my head I can come up with Kenny Pickett, A.J. Davis, Tyler Sear, Will Gragg, Jimmy Morrissey, Shocky Jacques-Louis, Dontavius Butler-Jenkins, Aaron Mathews, Maurice Ffrench, Tre Tipton, Rashad Weaver, Patrick Jones, John Morgan, Amir Watts, Keyshon Camp, Jaylen Twyman, Elias Reynolds, Saleem Brightwell, Wendell Davis, Anthony McKee, Damar Hamlin, Paris Ford, Jason Pinnock, Dane Jackson, Damarri Mathis, Phil Campbell, Marquis Williams, and Therran Coleman as guys we've heard promising things about this summer.
To be fair, it's not unusual to hear good things about players during fall camp, but as somebody said in another thread, this year just feels different. Guys don't seem to be being put in spots because there are no other options, but rather because they're stepping up and taking those spots.
So if this team can win 8 or 9 games this year, then look out for 2019 when these guys are all a year older, and the schedule is considerably easier. If our current back-ups along the o-line (Jerry Drake, Gabe Houy, Carter Warren, Brandon Ford, Bryce Hargrove) are ready to step up that year, then it could be special.
