Spring roster is out

Recommended Posts

Practice starts this week. Most of the team from last season is back who didn't lose eligibility. That could change after the spring. 

https://towsontigers.com/sports/football/roster

Here are the newcomers I'll be checking out this spring:

QB Sean Brown (6-2, 200), Liberty transfer competing with Zack Jackson and Scott Smith for starting job.

DB Mike Swain (5-10, 180), Campbell transfer

LB Alijah Bivans (5-11, 220), Coffeyville C.C. transfer

DL R.J. Evans (6-1, 285), Arkansas-Pine Bluff transfer

K/P Caden Williams (6-2, 175) West Florida transfer

DL Eddie Myles (6-1, 265), Frostburg transfer

DL Tyler Wallace (6-3, 300), Missouri State Western U.

 

Ok, so there's no way this is what this team is going to look like in summer camp. I'd expect at least 5-6 additions and probably a few subtractions. It happens when a new coaching staff takes over, but it's beyond strange that a 6-5 team with a new staff has so few changes. Again, it always goes back to QB1 and if Brown is the answer, great. If not, they will need to go shopping again. I also think they need more playmakers on both sides of the ball. It appears that they will play a 3-3-5 like West Virginia, though that won't be a huge difference with most teams using five DBs against passing offenses.

Total speculation depth chart

QB Sean Brown, Scott Smith, Z. Jackson, R. Holmes (not sure if Nathan Kent is still on roster. If he is, he's the 4th. Holmes might change position to DB or WR).

WR DK James, Brady McElhaney, Matthew Akuchie, redshirt freshmen Jonathan Badu (5-8, 170) and Ke'Mari Taylor (5-11, 180). 

WR Isaiah Perkins, Jabari Allen (if he returns from injury)

WR Daniel Thompson, Sam Reynolds (could play RB), Lukas Londono

RB Jo Bangda (5-10, 230), Devin Matthews (5-9, 215), Curtis Murray (5-10, 190), D'Aago Hunter (5-6, 160), Sabias Folley (5-11, 235)

TE Malik Jackson (6-3, 235), Griffin Patterson (6-5, 230), Devin Gill (6-4, 240, juco transfer didn't play last season).

OT Floridan Staehler (6-8, 290), Jean Germain (6-6, 355), Josh Roberts (6-7, 325, Lafayette transfer who might have one year left), Alex Desire (6-4, 310, versatile swing man)

G Ralph Paige Jr., (6-3, 305), Mathias Adjingbaruk (6-3, 325),

(O-line desperately needs a left tackle. Germain getting back in the mix and in shape would be a big addition since he can play guard or tackle. They added KJ Brooks (6-3, 290), Ian Markham-Miller (6-3, 300), but both are freshmen)

C Joden Nelson (6-4, 290), Paige

 

Defense

NG Ernie Smith (6-2, 285), R.J. Evans (6-1, 285) 

DT Tylen Wallace (6-3, 300), Eddie Myles (6-1, 265)

DT Jesus Gibbs (6-4, 295), Oly Okombi (6-1, 275)

Edge/OLB Grad student Makye Smith (6-1, 240), r-freshman Elijah Tarleton (6-3, 240), r-freshman Jordan Sampson (6-4, 245)

(Great to have Gibbs back but need depth. Added freshmen Shamir Boyd (6-2, 290), Rion Roseborough (6-2, 315) who will be there in the fall). 

ILB Mason Woods (6-0, 220)

ILB Alijah Bivens (5-11, 220), 

(not a lot of experience here. Great to have Woods back, should be a star on this defense. Will add a transfer or two to this position. Forgot to add Okombi.).

Bandit Daniel Raymond (6-0, 215), Evan Rutkowski (6-2, 210)

S Xavier Terry (5-10, 190), r-freshman RJ Chapman (6-0, 180)

S Dorian Davis (6-0, 190), Mike Swain (5-10, 180)

CB  Grad Robert Javier (6-1, 195), Shafeek Smith (5-10, 175)

CB  Sean Tucker (6-0, 170), Grad Charles Peoples (6-0, 180)

Man, I remember when our transfers were from UGA, Oklahoma and Oregon....That doesn't mean these guys are not D1 players, but that's not exactly a stellar list of schools that we are poaching from.

To be fair those Power 5 transfers rarely worked out.
