we signed zero juco help for Spring. This is what we go into Spring with. Tyler Stutzman Rjr. 6-4 280 zero D1 snaps. Ty Pollard zero snaps. Hayden Mcmahan Rso 6-4 270 zero D1 snaps. Drake Dorbeck 6-6 320. Rfr. ZeroD1 snaps. Has yet to be medically cleared for contact. Not sure he has even been able to lift. Jacob Fleming 6-4 305 45 snaps at tackle this season. Better suited to play guard. I would like to see him at 290-295 in hopes of improving his feet. From this group we must replace Hill 6-6 315 35 career starts. Price 6-4 320. 19 career starts. Hill and Price had a great deal to do with how well we ran the football this season on the edge, as well as keeping Nick clean from the outside. Looking at the group we have to work with in the Spring we have a long way to go to be near as good up front as we were this season. Finding some top shelf juco help was critical. I thought the winning season might have helped with that, but the P5 teams have gotten more dependent on good juco tackles over the years. P5 pretty much cleaned out the difference makers. It will be interesting to see how coach Meadows develops this group. Personally don't see much legit talent except for Pollard, who will need reps and more time in the weight room. I had high hopes for Dorbeck, but am concerned with his health. Stutzman must absolutely be ready to protect Nick's blind side right out of the gate. Obviously still need to build our talent and depth at the tackle position. Feel good about guard.
