The spring starters are small. But I know a lot of these players are going to rotate, especially guys like Uvakeious McGhee, Seth Calloway, Demone Kemp, and Sam Lebbie. Not to mention we have the 6'7" Lucky kid coming in the fall. Not sure if he'll be redshirted or not, but I think his size alone gives him a chance to see early playing time if he's needed.

By the end of Fall Camp and the beginning of the 2016 season the depth chart will change. Players that were out for the Spring due to them trying to get healthy will be added and some that are on the chart now will move up or down. The coaches use this time of the year to gauge by. I also would not look to hard at the weights of players due to they still look like the same weights they used last season.

Love Trevon Sanders at nose. He will be a force on the interior by occupying double teams and eating space.

When I attended practice for the players reunion I spent a lot of time watching the OL. I'm puzzled about center. The JC signee was running first team center and #57 was at guard. On the depth chart #57 is first team center and the JC kid isn't listed. Does anybody have insight?

Where is Zachary Branner? Banner is on Campus Got that, but he was part of the 2015 class and enrolled on 8/30/2015. He was even in the recent 'dance' video. I'm not sure why he's missing from the roster.

He has been at all of the Spring practice, seen him working with the Two's and Three's. Like I said before that Spring depth chart will change come the Fall and the 2016 season

Really hoping #57 finds a home at center. This is the seventh straight season with a different starter at center. Being down on the field during drills, the center makes calls every play. Getting a center with a season under his belt will be huge for the 2017 season when the OL will be very young. . OL is talented and athletic, but young after the starters. 4 seniors with game experience and starts and a sophomore at center who played a lot at guard as a freshman. Keeping those five healthy and getting the young guys game experience will be critical. A injury to one if the seniors will be bad. Hoping for a healthy fall camp and season. OL will be ok. Coach Moore is a heck of a coach.

D-line is small...overall D is small Heights and weights are well over a year old. They have not been updated. You'll be surprised come fall. As far as heights are concerned, I have cross referenced our players with other FBS schools and we are on the tall side in the defensive backfield and standard size or taller on the D-Line. We are not as small as you think. Even the current weights are right on with most SBC teams. We will be bigger than every SBC team not named Georgia Southern.

JC signee got home sick and has returned to his home town in Texas It is my understanding that his family had experienced some deaths recently which I believe played a big role in his return to his home state.

Lucky is so raw I would be shocked if he played in 16.

Redshirted all but one freshman OL last season. It will be interesting to see if any of the incoming freshman OL push for back up status. Troy made a huge error in 2014 by wasting a year of eligibility on Fields and Boring just to have them on the PAT/FG unit. Had they redshirted them they would both be Juniors this year.

Any word on who all (players old and new) have shown up for summer workouts to get ready for fall camp? As Hemi Man noted, Lucky is raw, however, I think RS'ing him for 2016 would be beneficial to the program/himself and coach him up more over this year. He will have a major upside other than height and reach for 2017 with additional coaching.
