Now that the off-season is officially upon us, who do you think starts on O and D in 2016? My guesses:

OFFENSE

QB: Tommy Armstrong

RB: Devine Ozigbo

FB: ???

TE: Cethan Carter

WR: Jordan Westerkamp

WR: Stanley Morgan

OT: Nick Gates

OG: ???

C: ???

OG: ???

OT: ???

DEFENSE

DE: Freedom Akinmoladun

DT: Vincent Valentine

DT: Kevin Williams

DE: Greg McMullin

OLB: Michael Rose-Ivey

MLB: Josh Banderas

OLB: Dedrick Young / Marcus Newby

CB: Chris Jones

FS: ???

SS: Nate Gerry

CB: ???

 
Knevel, Foster, Decker/Thurston, Utter, Gates for the o-line. I could see Raridon playing as a true freshman.

They will find a way for Reed to be on the field...he made some mistakes last night, but I like his body type and with some coaching/time in the weight room he could be a force.

Good list.

For some reason, I thought Maurice was a senior, but your list made me check. Wow, I feel a LOT better about losing Collins now. Maurice is no Collins, but #55 was a very disruptive force when he was healthy.

Not sure about Kalu at the other corner spot. He seemed out of position a lot this year. I think he is very talented, but I wonder if he doesn't get passed up by one of the redshirts.

Would love to have picked up a JUCO DE and maybe slide McMullen inside. Regardless, next year's squad could be very salty if we stay healthy.

Agree with everything on the list except for Utter. Watched him get blown up/not block anyone all year long. Very doubtful he'll be a starter

Utter is also being mentioned at the center spot next year. Hopefully there are some young guards able to come in and start ahead of Utter next year.
