2025 Defense

Here’s who I feel great about:
TJ Parker
Peter Woods
Wade Woodaz
Sammy Brown
Avieon Terrell
Ashton Hampton
Khalil Barnes
Will Heldt
Here’s who I think can be good:
Stephiylan Green
Vic Burley
Jamal Anderson
Ricardo Jones
Corian Gipson
Feels like we could use 3 more impact players from the portal on this defense. LB and S for sure. DT is Capehart and Williams leave.

Dabo said in his post game he expects everyone at DT back

we'll see. Cape's injuries really torpedoed his draft stock. Williams I don't really see as an NFL player right now. Don't see either transferring.
I'd add Hoffler and Lawson to the think they can be good group. Excited about Amare Adams. Coaches really like Kobe McCloud at LB, who is kind of forgotten after the knee injury in September

Capehart and Williams coming back changes the perception of the DL instantly.
We’d still need a LB and S though.

I think Jones will be a stud at S, but an experienced guy wouldn't hurt

I like Jones as well. Not really that high on Griffin. Barnes will be fine. But those 3 are the only satieties with experience.
We’d be rolling the dice with Kylen Webb, Rob Billings, Noah Dixon, and Joe Wilkinson.
I was high on Jamal Anderson out of high school. But I thought he would have played a lot more than he currently does. Not sure what that means.

Late addition to his class as well. Low level, 3 star developmental project.
If Jamal Anderson isn’t the #3 guy, we will have a serious problem at LB next year. I thought he would be great coming out of high school. I’m hopeful he will be. But I don’t know. Not confident at all since he hasn’t played in his first two years.

We need to get a LB in the portal.... if not
Dec 22, 2024, 7:05 AM
[ in reply to McCloud is not a starter level LB ] |

we'll be having the same conversation we had this year at DE.
We also need to prioritize speed at LB and S position. Everybody talks about the fundamentals which I agree need to improve, but outside of Barrett(who wasn't the greatest tackler), Sammy and our corners, the back 7 lacks speed. It really showed up against Georgia and Texas with their speedy skill positions.

It’s a shame Denhoff and Patterson were both busts from the same class. Then we followed their class up with Jaheim Lawson.
Lemanski Hall really killed us with those 2 classes.

They need to cut Patterson loose. He's taking up a scholly and clearly has no desire to play football at an elite level.

Calling Denhoff a bust is a stretch. He has improved every year. He should be a rotational guy. It is not his fault we have not had an elite player beat him out.
I don’t think anyone thought he would be an all America player when he signed. He has actually outperformed many people’s expectations of his floor and ceiling.

If we lose a LB currently on the roster we’ll portal someone in, likely, otherwise I don’t see it. Need a safety though for sure in my opinion.

Woodaz and Sammy Brown will be fine.
Who’s the third starter? Kobe McCloud, Jamal Anderson, Dee Crayton, Drew Woodaz, CJ Kubah Taylor or Logan Anderson?
We’re talking about less than 50 combined snaps in critical moments for all of them combined. Are you comfortable with that?

Lack of snaps doesnt mean they arent good.

They’re biding their time. That’s a lot of names in that group, and we just don’t know much about them. Dee Clayton has flashed and Anderson has a little as well. McCloud doesn’t appear to be an answer, but the others all redshirted. That is, too early to tell how that group pans out and we don’t know that there are any portal guys better than who we have. It’s not like shopping at Walmart. Either way, if someone leaves I could see looking for a portal guy, otherwise I’m not anticipating any moves there.

Agree. A couple more transfers with experience. Talent is there. Not sure the coaching is. With CBV, we didn't Always have elite blue chip Talent, but we sure do play out of positions a lot.

I saw a pretty large talent gap that I don’t think a new DC could fix. Still are a few pieces away.
If we didn’t sign them in recruiting, I’d dip into the portal. So if we don’t think Logan Anderson and Jakarrion Kenan are instant impact guys, then find some experienced starters in the portal.

I still like Avieon even though he was getting exposed more in the back half of the season.

It’s really hard to evaluate our defense when they are in a totally defensive scheme that just sits back and catches and rolls back 10 yards off the LOS. Whoever is teaching the stand straight up and side hug as a tackling fundamental has killed our defense.
