Offense: Jalen Hurd. 190 attempts, 780 yards, 8 TD's
I know a lot of people would predict Ferguson here but but I still think it will be Worley starting under center for us. Coach Jones has no reason whatsoever to start a quarterback who has never taken a snap in college football over the experience and leadership of a senior QB. Hurd will probably split carries with Marlin Lane right down the middle and might even start before the season is over with. If he stays healthy, he will be a bigger, faster, harder-hitting version of Jamal Lewis.
Defense: Todd Kelly Jr. 56 Tackles, 2 INt's, 1 FF
I think Dillon Bates will make an impact in the rotation of linebackers, but I don't think he starts right away when he can learn and develop under Maggitt, Johnson and Weatherd. I do think however that TKJr will start at Safety on August 30th (and every other game) and will make a big impact immediately to help a struggling secondary. I'd expect TK to start all four years.
Special Teams: Vic Wharton. 22 yard KO return avg. 2 TD
I read somewhere that Wharton returned 20 punts/kicks for touchdowns during his HS career. That's NUTS. The guy is a track star and apparently knows how to read the field and blocks. Once he gets used to the speed of the college game and build chemistry with these guys, he will be a nasty return man. I do hope Aaron Medley succeeds early (we will need it). But he is a freshman kicker in the SEC. I do think he will be a good kicker, but he may miss a few here and there.
What do you guys think?
