We seem to be stronger and deeper across the board, but two key areas to these non professional eyes are QB & DB. QB has already been discussed.
Length / athleticism at DB seems to be a separation point for the elite teams. EWU, M, MSU send out 6'3" WRs, and pick apart 5'10" DBs. I love Perryman, King, Thomas and Duncan. Duncan, what a beast.
Harlston - 6'3", 205# - RedFrosh - three star recruit, highly coveted. DNP.
Venable - 6'2", 175# - SO - really came on last year. Third on the team in tackles. Split time at safety w Tiger Garcia.
Maybe one or more of the RedFrosh you mentioned will get more opportunity this season, they’re still redshirt freshmen. Weird that someone can be a freshman in their third season.
