great rundown. I was there and didn’t see much of this. I was down on the field and have a hard time picking up the details from there.

Plough is very excited about special teams especially having a dedicated coach with new ideas. Couple that with talented kickers and I don’t think we will repeat last years’s performances.

Also, Matteo Perez is out there. He was in the same situation as the Connors (should be finalized with NCAA very soon), so that’s a valuable backup.

David main has class conflicts during the week and Rodriguez is graduating

Good to see Matteo Perez practicing. I think he is a reliably solid RB for us.

Thanks , detailed analysis as per usual. That is great to hear about Hughes, I prefer and root for the guys that were on roster over the transfers, but know we have to play the best player at each position. If I recall, Hughes had some offers or at least preferred walk-on opportunities at major programs coming out of high school.

I've never heard anyone say, "boy, our Offensive Line looks great!" coming out of spring ball. There is always someone missing, or position changes, and the chemistry experiment that is offensive line play takes time. As long as the dudes are capable it will work out. Beverly, like every other freshman lineman, will have to figure out how to bend and do real work in the weight room, because he's not going to scare anyone or just lean on opponents like most big guys do in high school. If it were up to me, every freshman offensive lineman would redshirt, period. They need the time to grow and develop.

QB battle... going to be back and forth.

Zaire has to get that younger group together up front...how well they progress will determine how well the team does all year.

65 Porotesano LT (So.)
60 Hasson (R Fr.)
52 Collier (Jr.)
75 Fanua (Jr.)
66 Thurston (So.)

David Main is the lone Senior offensive lineman on this year's squad. I would suspect that when he's 100% he is the starting LG or RG, and could see him sitting out a lot of spring ball to keep that knee out of harms way.

Ideally, you have eight OL that can play/travel. Play your "next-best" as the #2 LT, a swing T/G type, then your #2 Center. If that's a guard, then you travel his back-up. Nobody has a true 2-deep on the o-line, at least not one that can play. OL depth at all levels of football is a very fragile entity.
