Running backs on the Red include Adam Taylor, Graham Nabity and Terrell Newby, along with receivers De'Mornay Pierson-El and Jordan Westerkamp.
On defense, the Red team will include returning defensive starters Maliek Collins, Vincent Valentine and Greg McMullen up front.
The White squad will be led by quarterbacks Tyson Broekemeier, A.J. Bush and Ryker Fyfe. Imani Cross and Mikale Wilbon headline the White backfield, while the defense will feature a strong secondary group including Joshual Kalu, Chris Jones, LeRoy Alexander and Kieron Williams.
It will be interesting to see how that middle OL of the White Team holds up against the middle DL of the Red Team.It appears to me that more first string linemen on both sides of the ball are on the red team. I think it's important on the line to have as many of (what you think will be) the first string playing together. I just wish it was going to be first string O line against first string D line.
I'm glad they are returning to a game format, but I'm disappointed it's mostly 1s vs backups, reminds me of the Callahan spring games, where it was 1's vs backups so the games were never that competitive more about putting a dominant show on for visiting recruits.It appears to me that more first string linemen on both sides of the ball are on the red team.

I know what you are saying. On the other hand, these guys are still relatively new to these schemes and coaches. The 1's have probably received a little more attention and reps. If anything, (both groups) get a chance to hit, tackle, cover, run some plays and enjoy playing some football. Hopefully they achieve that and can come out of it healthy. Should be a fun day.I'm glad they are returning to a game format, but I'm disappointed it's mostly 1s vs backups, reminds me of the Callahan spring games, where it was 1's vs backups so the games were never that competitive more about putting a dominant show on for visiting recruits.It appears to me that more first string linemen on both sides of the ball are on the red team.

If you go by that then you also have to recognize that it's Johnny Stanton and TA on the red team, not Fyfe or the fan favorite, Bush.So Taylor and Newby are on the Red while Cross is on the White. Hmmmmmm.....
Yeah, but TA is the clear #1, while Stanton will get a few reps at the end of the game as the #4 guy.If you go by that then you also have to recognize that it's Johnny Stanton and TA on the red team, not Fyfe or the fan favorite, Bush.So Taylor and Newby are on the Red while Cross is on the White.
