Update on Newcomers from last recruiting class

[mat1992 2,231]

Thought I'd try and update the 28-player recruiting class from February, which doesn't include late additions in Jabari Greenwood and John Tsimis. Also not including 2016 recruits Jabari Allen and Dymelle Parker who arrived in the spring and showed great potential.

DB Mitchell Boals (Juco transfer)-fighting for starting safety spot with Brandon Sheppard.

DB Warren Buckner Jr. -Injured knee, out for the season and will redshirt.

OL Cole Cheripko -One of top freshmen lineman. Probably will still redshirt unless there is an injury to a starter.

DL Tibo Debaillie-competing for 2nd unit on Dline. Might be rare true freshman defensive linemen to play. Helped that he played in the spring.

OL Josh Diaz-Tall lanky lineman needs a year to put on weight but has talent.

LB Christian Dixon - Athletic linebacker from North Carolina has shown some potential.

WR Rodney Dorsey- Groin injuries have held him back but he can fly.

OL D'Mitri Francis (Juco) - Huge lineman from Florida who played in Juco ball in California. Still learning system. Could start eventually.

WR Christian Greaves-One of the top recruits of 2017. Having a tough time getting on the field due to injuries. Fortunately for Towson, they are deep at WR. Might redshirt.

OLB Nygil Johnson -Former Nevada commit has flashed potential but why play him right away as a backup if you can bulk him up?

LB Abdoulaye Konate-currently on 2nd unit. Very speedy and talented player.

OL Ethan Knapp -not on roster

OL Jacob Laub - not on roster

FB Eric Magnfico - Has worked some at RB. FB/HB type.

DB Vashon McCants-impressive player with some size at 6-0, 180 to play corner.

TE Metise Moore (Juco)-Pushing for playing time

DT John Mullins-Probably a redshirt but dominating at times on third team.

OL Bryce Perkins -Another PA lineman who will likely redshirt and likely future guard.

RB Adrian Platt-Can return kicks but leaving team for a few days and returning probably didn't help chances of playing this year. Definitely has shown he can play.

DB Brion Seagraves - Another NC defensive back with similar size to Tye Smith. Likely future safety.

DB Coby Tippett - At some point, well, he'll always be Andre Tippett's son but kid has playmaking ability. Likely redshirt.

OL Jackson Truitt - Delaware guard who will probably redshirt.

OG Zane Ventimigilia (Juco) -Likely starter at right guard

FB Nick Vermillion - This dude is a beast. Linebacker, baseball player. Might play this season.

TE Myles Wright -Offseason knee injury. Future star once he packs on a little more weight and recovers from ACL.

DB Kobe Young-One of the young stars of the camp. Now playing RB. Could still move back to CB. Very talented.
