So, we finally know who the elusive transfer quarterback of 2021 will be. There could be another addition or two, but I think this team is pretty well-set in terms of starters. Sure, there will be competition at running back, on the defensive line, maybe on the right side of the offensive line, at safety. Ok, so we're not completely set and nothing is etched in stone, but I have a pretty good idea. I know I'm off on the heights and weights, but going by the internet roster mixed with what I heard. Also wasn’t there this spring so I did the best I could. That broke a string of nearly 20 straight years of watching spring practice.
