Since Olive is practically a shoe-in,

[fromolwyoming]

Who'll be next to him as a DT? Everyone else we have coming back redshirted. Yarbrough and Puletasi return and will likely be the starting ends. Maybe some contributions my Lange and Awrabi. But still, need another DT to go along with Olive. Probably a pass rush guy since Olive gets double teamed.

I'm curious how some of the redshirts perform and if they are up to the task? Could see a JUCO or two at this position also.

Some of the guys that redshirted ARE JUCOs.

Lol that is true but I was thinking more along the lines of the Colorado boys but yes you are correct there were JUCO's redshirted also. Still think bringing in another isn't a bad idea. Bohl played a lot of different DT's through a course of a season.

Boyland (I think)
Diamante

Isn't their another DT that redshirted, too?

 

[KansasPoke]

Dalton Fields is the other I believe?

 

[JimmyDimes]

Fields is the other DT freshman from Colorado. There is also redshirt freshman Chase Appleby.

I am wondering if we might not see one of the D-linemen on the roster moved to fullback.

Pull a Mitch Unrein?

Sam Awrabi left the team, but Sam Hardy could be switched back to DT ( or stay on offense as a big ass FB haha).

I could see the Colorado players contributing a bunch next year. Boyland and Applebee should definately make the rotation if we go to the 4 -3.

Hardy is a big dude. Good size for a DT.

I played basketball with him at half acre last year. He is huge but he is lazy. If he decided to make the weight room his number one priority he could be good but he's never going to be anything with the attitude he had last year. I hope he changes because he has a ton of potential.

You can't call someone lazy based off how they play pick up ball, I mean honestly! It's pick up ball, maybe he is lazy but
You can make that call off of pick up ball. One thing I noticed playing pick up ball with him is that he has pretty good feet. But there aren't a lot of guys that give 110% in pick up ball. Let's be real

There are big guys that are big because they work out and then there are big guys who are just fat. He's one of those big guys who is just fat because it is clear he isn't committed to the weight room. That was clear from playing some pickup ball.
