Of our 38 outgoing transfers, 7 have moved down, 9 have made lateral moves, 4 have gone to P4, and 18 have yet to land somewhere.

I believe we are at 52 new incoming freshmen and transfers.

I think he is alluding to the fact that all 4 were brought in by our current staff as transfers.

DB from VA Tech.
Was a starter at VT until he was injured in the ODU game (which I was in attendance. Had 15 tackles and an INT in the three games he started.

Bingo. Nix and Dozier will likely go P4 as well. DJ Burks may be the only non-Loggains recruit to move up to P4.

The UVA addition was a starter before injury as well I believe. Williams led the FCS in picks. I like the talent we are bringing into the secondary. Players with game day experience.

Chris Lofton (WR - Gardner Webb) has committed but has not made it officially public.

We are still looking to add a big frame WR to replace Stroman/Dozier.

Had 4 games with over 100 yards receiving. 934 yards receiving led the conference. Doesn’t sound like he drops many passes.

I think the BC WR is more comparable to Barnes

I don’t know who will ultimately be in the rotation of course, but the fact we’ve added multiple “slot” (6 feet and smaller) WRs would lend me to believe Mbake will shift back outside next season. Lofton, Pickett, Fleming and Branch will all be capable if called upon at any position. Lofton may be the most game ready. I am very pleased with the production and talent added to the WR room though.

Also seem heavy at TE.

We have to replace 4 from last season if you include Gibble, so it makes sense from a numbers perspective. I assume they will give Howse every opportunity to make an impact early but the FUGGIT guy seems like he could be a reliable option similar to Larkins’ role.

Gator fan social media posts refer to him being good .. several cannot believe he selected App..St.
Could be a great pickup for App. St.
Hopefully we pick up more OL to create holes for all of our RBs

If I recall correctly, he was committed to Georgia at one point. But, they always have a crowded backfield so I think he flipped on signing day.
