I believe Harrison would be the logical choice and the first one that comes to mind, because everyone has talked him up so much. But, I agree that Jalen McCullough will be our breakout star this year. He's a ball Hawk with good speed and DB's are coach Pruitt's specialty, so he'll do nothing but get better, IMO. I could even see him taking several snaps away from Shamburger, a few weeks into the season.Fully expect Tank Mccollough (or however it's spelled) to make an impact on special teams at the minimum
I don’t even agree with your first statement, our your second.The two 5* OT's starting spots are theirs to lose, so we are looking beyond them at who might have the biggest impact on the team this year. My prediction is Roman Harrison. He doesn't have the traditional build of a big time OLB, but the guy just freakin gets after it. Opposite Darrel Taylor, I don't have much confidence in Deandre Johnson to make a big impact, and Jordan Allen hasn't shown anything to date either. This is where Harrison comes in. He has an amazingly high motor, which makes up for his lack of size and speed (Derek Barnett?).
He played DT in high school out of necessity, and still overpowered much larger OG's because he's a freak in the weight room and wears people down by not taking any plays off. I think he will be a 5-7 sack contributor this year, and a starter by week 4.
Who ya'll got?
I was waiting to see if anyone was gonna bring up Eric gray. I know he was out during spring but couldn’t remember the severity of the injury or whatever. He’s one I think could make an impact. That of course depends on how banks develops and if he can hang on to the ball.
I think on defensive side I would say one of the juco DL guys but since this states freshman I think it’s gonna be Tank McCullough he seemed to have always be around the ball in spring, could see him at one of safety spots or that star/nickel position.

It is as while before even the great Al Wilson made an impact.
While there is a great chance the two frosh OTs May start, it isn’t a given and I say only one starts. I know everyone wants to write off Neuhaus and Tatum, but I wouldn’t do fast.
