freshman wise, will rice and kamron smith will have the most playing time. both are extremely strong and have heart but neither is tall by any standards. rice has the ability to shed blockers and get to the ball carrier and is also very fast. kamron is also extremely fast for his size and is almost the opposite of rice on the defensive side of the ball, he will power right through someone to get to the ball and had the strength and power to do so but it might not work on a higher level as varsity. alleshouse is very very good in every aspect at TE from blocking to catching, but doesnt have the fire in him to out and hit someone. travis jones got burnt so many times in freshman football this year (especially against mason co.) and doesnt usually even give the effort to get in a stance, also, he thinks he is bigger than he really is which hurts him in the tackling department and he is also very small for a db. on the offensive side of the ball he doesnt give much effort either, if the ball isnt going to him, he usually doesnt even block for the runner, he just stands there. dehoff, in my opinion, would be better at moving down to tackle to take andy lyons place who despite his size, is one of the weakest people ive ever seen and theres not much skill there either. drake is an excellent blocker but has horrible hands and if the ball is thrown to him, makes no effort to go and get it like alleshouse and rogers will. also he doesnt have that fire to go hit someone. whittaker isnt even going to play football next year because of back problems (he has 17% curvature in his spine), but he isnt very football smart. Fullen is one of the fastest if not the fastest in the freshman class but isnt playing next year either because he wants to play more basketball. rogers is their main receiver even though hicks only threw to him a couple of times in the season. he will go up and get the ball and has the height to do so. but he is skinny and doesnt block very well. he is the best db in the freshman class but there is only two that actually played that are returning, him and jones. he has some speed. and from what ive heard has pretty good strength for his weight. spencer hutchinson has good skill but is too big of a goof off to do anything and coaches dont like his attitude towards things
