DT could possibly be a pretty big hole for us next year. I got called "unhinged" for throwing down when we lost 2 of our 3 commits at the position last year. Now it looks like we're only gonna sign one again this year. If Banks leaves then we're looking at Robinson ,Borieau, a guy coming off a major knee injury, freshman and whoever we can get in the portal.

I believe Banks surge in play has been just as big as Lagway. I wish the position was taken more seriously when it comes to recruiting. The big dogs sign elite DT's every year. It's been a problem here for years.

We did pick up D’Antre Robinson on the recruiting rebound last year, which helps but does not solve the problem.

We’ll need a couple of big portal guys. It took Jackson and Banks a couple of years to become good. Can’t wait like that next year.

At DT, you essentially have Robinson, Boireau, Lyons, and one commit. How many do we typically want? I’d assume at least two in the portal and then maybe a JUCO or if you can get a stud HS recruit

Youd want 8 ish, assuming 2 are redshirting. Against some weaker teams maybe some other heavier DEs (Pyburn, Collins maybe) could move inside a little. It is a different skillset though.

Collins showed some flashes inside last year. I hope he sticks around. I love pyburn but I just don't really see him playing inside.

We actually trawled a host of OL last cycle. Would be great to snag four DT this class but I don’t see where the numbers come from unless someone pops up late and we hang onto McCloud….

If Banks stays another year it will alleviate the issue a bit….

DE. I’d like to see us take a swing at that linebacker from Seffner. We’re obviously full at linebacker in this class, but I think he could grow into a pass rushing specialist.
Maybe he had an awful game, but I was at his last playoff game and it’s unusual for a college future star to completely be irrelevant and disappear during the game. He did.
