Golson is growing and cementing his status as starter.
Jarrett Grace and Ben Council are continuing to impress the
coaching staff and are looking to compete for starting roles in the fall or at
least solid playing time.
Danny Spond is has another injury issue but at least we know
what it is and he should be fine.
Amir Carlisle may be injury prone but he bounces back. He is recovering well from a broken
collarbone and participating in limited practice (no contact). He will NOT play in the Blue & Gold.
Early Enrollee Malik Zaire is showing Kelly his football IQ
but should still plan on redshirting.
Nix and Tuitt will have to slim down a bit before fall. Nix is reported at 347lbs (but who really
knows Nix will tell you 280) and should be closer to 325 330lbs and Tuiit is at
322lbs (I’m betting a little higher) and should be closer to 310-315.
Even though Tuitt is recovering from a sports hernia he is
expected to play on the 20th.
Although Troy Niklas is probably going to be the leader no
one has really stepped up in the race to be the starting tight end.
