Louisiana Tech announced the additions of 19 transfers this afternoon. Here is what I think the two-deep looks like right now:
Offense
QB: Hank Bachmeier, Matthew Downing or Jack Turner
RB: Marquis Crosby or Sqwirl Williams, Tyre Shelton or Charvis Thornton
WR: Cyrus Allen, DeColdest Crawford
WR: Julien Lewis, Kyle Maxwell
WR: Smoke Harris, Tahj Magee, Matthew McCallister
TE: Nate Jones or Ryan Rivera
LT: Dakota White, Biron Rossell
LG: Bert Hale, Landon Nelson
C: Abraham Delfin, Ray Kelly
RG: Jerren Gilbert, Elijah Bowser
RT: Carson Bruno, Jonah Brewster or Kenneth Bannister or Erron Bean or Mykel Janise
Notes on Offense:
- I included hurt guys.
- Landon Nelson has moved to guard, still probably thin at G in my opinion. Maybe a guy like Canis or Bannister slides inside?
- Probably need a 5th outside WR unless someone emerges as a STUD in the Spring + a Claville or Solo Lewis or Marlion Jackson emerges into at least a playable option.
- Charvis Thornton graduated a few days ago. I know they've brought Sqwiel & Tyre in the RB room, but I hope this doesn't make him consider leaving.
Defense
DE: Deshon Hall, Mykol Clark, DJ Johnson
DT: Keivie Rose, Shaq Spears
DT: Rasheed Lyles, Zion Nason
DE/OLB: Ezekiel Durham-Campbell or Jayden Gray or J'Dan Burnett
ILB: Hugh Davis or Jeslord Boateng, Zach Zimos
ILB: Brevin Randle, Kolbe Fields or Zach Zimos
OLB/Nickel: Cecil Singleton, Joriell Washington
CB: Willie Roberts
CB: Cedric Woods or Jakelyn Morgan or Keon Markham
S: Myles Heard, DeMarcus Griffin-Taylor
S: Kejuan Markham or Roderick Robertson
Notes on Defense
- Zy Ford is no longer w/ the program. Injury + didn't really love football enough to play at this level.
- I don't think DE is a priority anymore. Should have plenty of depth there. If you watch a guy like DJ Johnson at times in practice, he could really breakout. Has all the talent, but he was young and immature last season.
- Mykol Clark could be an option to slide inside, we'll see what he looks like weight wise this spring.
Special Teams
K: Jacob Barnes or Buck Buchanan
P: Jake Brister or Patrick Rea or Arlind Bengu
DS: Gabe Pugh
