Words out of Spring Camp about 1/2 through

Gideon Davis has gotten all of the attention this spring, Dabo singing his praises, "Complete Back", he's absolutely ripped, runs in 4.4 range, great kick returner, can run through tackles and catch out of the backfield. He should make an immediate impact with the hole we have on the depth chart here.

Peter Woods has lost some weight, looked slow and out of shape last year, but looks chiseled and more atheletic at camp.

Tom Allen brings the same fire that Venables did, he is intense, the defense should take a major step forward this year. He is the polar opposite of Goodwin as he is the most vocal coach on that side of the ball, and back to working fundamentals, especially tackling which was awful with the front 7 last year. It cost us the Texas game for sure.

I have not heard anything about Will Heldt yet, he was probably our biggest need. I felt like we had the depth at tackle last year to leave Woods at SDE, but that is now how things played out. I have not heard anything about that position, but obviously, the biggest hole on defense going into the season. We are stacked again on the Interior, Stephiylan Green's name is being called out some, and with Capehart returning, this should be the strength of the defense, hopefully with better tackling behind the line of scrimmage.
