They let him play left tackle. But we recruited Sanders and paid him to play left. We had to pick one to stay, and with Perry’s development saw Heard as a cost savings. Our roster spend is now pretty balanced.
Heard made all SEC and only gave up one sack in the regular season. But I think he was the highest paid player on the team. We wanted him to flip to the right side and he said his new price was $3m. So we drew the line.
Campbell called the defenses last year. That’s way more valuable than Carter, who is really more of a weak side LB. Carter has been hurt over the years. So I’m good with not overpaying.
Correct. I think our staff struggles with the cutthroat “speed dating” nature of portal recruiting. Heupel is better with high school recruiting which takes years not days.
So we put him and the ATM d tackle on hold going for the 2 Alabama guys. Ended up going 0-4. Disappointing. We need big guys in the middle unless we want to convert some OL.
