is coming today, here's a preview.

It sounds like Javaree Jackson, Logan Harris, Alonzo Valasquez, Ravontae Holt, Tim Zaleski, Avontae Cox, and Jared Scott won't be getting redshirts. Brett Gilliland is in concussion protocal, so that explains 2 freshmen making the d tackle rotation. He didn't mention Va or C.J. Coldon during the interview. I'm guessing both of them may make it. C.J. gives us a weapon in the defensive backfield we don't have. We'll see if Va beat Wisdorf to the back-up spot behind Caash.

Agreed. Someone needs to write her questions for her.

I wish JA'chai Baker hadn't gotten himself kicked off the team. Hopefully the two freshmen are the real deal or else we'll be super thin on DL again

Here it is.

Va did make the 2 deep.

One surprise for me: Kevin Prosser is backing up Granderson and Josiah Hall is starting on the other end.

I wish the returners were listed... I'm curious to see if Conway will still be fielding punts or if he's needed more at the receiver position with how inexperienced we are there

I think I saw an interview earlier in camp that said AC would be returning punts this year, but this leads me to believe we have some weapons in the return game and we're holding back a surprise.

I still don't think Prosser is at a weight were he can play every down, but needs to see the field on clear passing downs.

I think Bradley flips his d ends depending on where the tight end is at, so the best pass rusher is always lined up on the weak side. Maybe Hazelton brought that with him.

I wouldn't be surprised if both Prosser and Granderson are on the field on 3rd and long though.

Crazy that this is still such a young roster. Only 7 seniors on the entire 2-deep (and only 9 on the entire roster after Trevor Meader announced his departure).

Might as well Josh Allen to this list. But your point still remains... very young team again this year.
Boise and SDSU fans are claiming that they are setting up for a big 2018, it looks like we may be as well

I was talking to my brother on the phone earlier and we were trying to think of the seniors off hand. We knew there weren't many, but damn, we're still a very young football team.

We need to keep a hold of Bohl/Company for a while. We're set up to compete for championships year in and year out now.

Surprised that Prosser isn't starting too. I bet we see plenty of him though. Good to see that Tyler Hall hung on to that starting corner spot. That means he's dang good imo. And finally, wow, Logan Harris. Hard to put into word how impressive it is that he's our starting C as a true freshmen. Harris looks strong as an ox I can't watch him throwing that shot enoughhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31JjuAp1rfw. rare combo of agility and raw power.

Oh and Kudos to Garrett Crall and Schwab on making the two-deep as walk ons. Pretty cool to see

We have 9 seniors, 22 juniors, 23 sophomores and too many freshmen to count (40 something with redshirts and walk-ons).

Next years team will be loaded with upper classmen.

Considering that Rush was pretty good for a freshman guard and having spring to work at C says a lot about Harris at C.

Center is the most important spot on the OL. Logan pushing for that starting position as a freshman is for one, an incredibly rare scenario, and two suggests he is going to be special. Most freshman OL are slam dunks to redshirt and nowhere near the competition for starting spots. Time to rev up the Logan Harris bandwagon.

Anyone that can break a 30 year old record, set by an olympic silver medalist, has exceptional strength. If his mental game is right, and it sounds like it is, he does have a chance to become a Wyoming legend and an future NFL guy.

Pump the brakes on saying he has a "chance" to become a Wyoming legend and an NFL guy?

No thanks.

The sky is the limit for Logan Harris.

I for one am a little concerned that a freshman is considered the best man for the job at this position. I hope he is up to the task.
