In order of descending priority, I believe the following are our positions of immediate need:
OL: I could see Jeff Jenkins getting a crack at guard, but it's a long shot. OL is tough to come into as a freshman.
CB: DJ Johnson already looks the part, and unless Rugamba and Ojemudia really step up their game we'll need someone.
LB: We have good-bodied backups to replace our 3 seniors, they just don't have much experience. I can see Dillon Doyle coming in to shake things up, as he's an early enrollee and I'm sure his dad will help him learn the defense faster than others.
WR:We've got a decent slot in Easley and a potential big playmaker in ISM. The other receivers in 2017's recruiting class also look okay but we need another player to really step up. Of our three recruits, I think Tyrone Tracy has the best shot at playing next year, but I like the future potential of Calvin and Nico, the latter of which I think will be our go-to slot in 2019 and beyond. Nico is also enrolling early so he'll have a better shot at hitting the field, I just don't think he'll beat out Easley.
S: I could see either Julius Brents or Dallas Craddieth breaking in here, but probably not both barring injury.
DL: We're stacked at this position, especially on the edge. I could see Linderbaum (and Nixon, although I consider him a part of last year's class) breaking into the rotation inside, especially since we want to run a rotation of about 10 guys on the line.
All in all, we definitely have gaps to fill. Luckily we're bringing in some good recruits so hopefully they'll help out.
