We don't have a srarting QB, QB rotation, nor final word on the Connors.

we didn't have a starting QB this time last year either and my post is assuming the Connors are back which is all but confirmed via a social media post or something.

they are listed on the roster so that’s pretty official. Surprised there wasn’t some type of ‘we’re back’ post on social

There must be a reason that this seems so stealth. I haven’t seen anything on X, instagram, or FB from Rex or any of the coaches. Maybe something in the agreement that its not publicized?

The roster is official. At this level of college football, you don't go posting players on a roster unless it's a done deal. No need for social media, count it as done.

I feel really good about the current QB situation. Plough is not going to put any of those kids in a position to fail. Let them battle it out, let the dust settle, and trust the experience with the decision.

Loaded at Running Back
Loaded at Tight End
Strong Offensive Line
Veteran WR group

Regarding the young NG throwing around 225 like its child's play, WELCOME! Can't have enough of those big bodied guys in the middle. He's relatively short at 6'0" but leverage is a superpower and hopefully he bends his knees and plays down there.

Relatively unproven but talented, young Defensive Line group. There are some big, long bodies coming up through the ranks.
Porter is the old man in a young and inexperienced Linebacker room. Sievers played a ton last year, does that make him the "other" LB? Looks like there's solid, young depth in that group.
Loaded Secondary gets even better with the return of an all-American and Quarterback of the Blue Force.

Pre-season Top 5 roster on paper. Does the lack of QB depth drop us into the fringes of the Top 10?

Go Ags!

.
If we count the $ linebacker who almost invariably plays on the line Davis returns three our of four D- linemen starters, plus the player who played behind Psyk and started the last game of the season. Lots of guys behind them.
I think Sievers, and Porter Connors are almost a lock to be the two inside linebackers.
The most unsettled group are the safeties and nickel, there are transfers with experience and players coming off injury, so seems to be a competitive situation.
As far as preseason rankings, the fact that Montana State, Montana, NAU and Idaho all return QBs will drive Davis down a little in preseason ranking. Those teams also had good recruiting classes.

Going on no info, except the UW reps....but feeling good about Cleeland. Great coaching around him, and some time behind Pinnick.

I think 2026 is going to be a good one.

Aggie sports talk meetup in Nashville...

Good points regarding the D-Line, thanks for correcting that. I consider that Sam/Stud whatever they call that on-ball Backer a DL position.

Not including the Idaho transfer and the Holy Cross transfer, who aside from Rex returns with any experience at Safety/Nickel? Corners should be elite.

I wonder if Porter will make spring ball. Guessing he's "probable" since he's on the roster. Seniors with a little experience last year in #13 and #44, with freshmen and a new JC guy behind that.

Kam Totton from folsom is a beast but I think he got hurt last year. I think long recovery for him too.

Guessing he's a Corner at 5'10" 180? Any idea what the injury was? I remember the name coming out of Folsom

more of a safety type. probably would play out of the box being a little smaller. maybe nickel too?

I think Marquis Bell played well for us, even with an arm injury. He was playing corner, but he has good size as a safety,
Albert Richardson got on the depth chart before being injured.
J J. Cravin who was a highly rated recruit in 2025 isnt on the roster.
Totton was on the depth chart at safety. Used to be one could tell the safeties from the corners by size but that correlation now seems weak.

No doubt, the Nickel position is now its own deal. That used to be a Safety or even an Outside LB in the old days, until teams started playing with 3 Corner-types
