Injured: Jerrod Means (ACL)
*Demarcus Gordon is also expected to be here for the spring, he’ll be in the mix at G and T, but I did not include him.
**I included Jawaun Johnson because I am not sure of his status at the moment, but I know he isn’t currently in the portal.
***George Scott won’t be back in 2021.
Defense:
DE: Deshon Hall (SO), Mykol Clark (RS FR), Ben Bell (FR), Joe Mason (FR)
NT: DJ Jackson (RS SO) or Keivie Rose (RS FR), Gerald Wilbon (GR SR), Malik Wells (RS JR), Dontrell Cobbs (FR)
DE: Tristan Allen (RS JR), Shaq Spears (FR)
Bandit: Eric Kendzior (RS SR) or Levi Bell (JR), Allen Walker (RS FR), Kershawn Fisher (FR)
Nickel: Ezekiel Barnett (RS SR), Khalil Ladler (GR SR), Taz Marshall (FR)
ILB: Tyler Grubbs (FR), Kody Fulp (RS JR), Joren Dickey (JR)

CB: Cedric Woods (FR) or Elijah Hamilton (GR SR), DJ Brown (RS JR), Dallas Taylor-Cortez (RS SO)
S: Bee Jay Williamson (RS SO), Jamison Kelly (FR), Christian Archangel (RS FR)
S: Myles Mason (JR), Jaiden Cole (RS JR), Marquallius Turner (RS JR)
CB: Baylen Buchanan (GR SR), Zach Hannibal (GR SR) or Brodrick Calhoun (RS SO), Charvis Thornton (RS FR), CJ Johnson (RS FR)
*A number of different guys will be moved around to different spots during the spring.
Injured: Willie Baker (Not sure on his status, I know he hasn’t been at winter workouts), Steven Shaw, Khiry Morrison (ACL)
Thoughts?
- To me, Tech still has a few holes to fill at WR, likely 2 spots on the outside. Could always add an OT, young RB, possibly a piece on the DL, possibly a piece in the secondary. I doubt all these dudes can/will be in here for spring.

- - Where Luke is at during the spring will be a HUGE storyline. Is JD Head ready? Where is Holstein at?
- - Dakota White and Walker Hankinson still need to come on at OT.
- - I think DJ Jackson was out of shape when he finally got in there at end of season, but I think he’s going to be really solid at NT.
- - Replacing Milton Williams, who is it? That’s a big storyline.
- - LBs are going to be really good.
- - The transfer DBs being in for the spring is going to be HUGE.
- - Across the roster, it’s a PROVE IT spring for me. Guys need to develop, sure, but staff needs to really develop some toughness across the roster as well. They are aware of that, heck, I’m sure Skip would say it straight up. Last year was crap with no spring, no off-season weight program, fall camp screwed up, opt outs, guys in and out of lineup, 33-day layoff, etc. However, bottom line is you remember how you finish, and I don’t think the finish left a good taste in the mouths of many in the program.
- - There are going to be a few guys on here that have moved on, I’m sure. I’m just not aware of it at the moment.
- - If I missed anyone, please feel free to let me know and I will add them in.
