As I reviewed the roster for this spring a few more names jumped
out at me as being interesting to be to keep an extra eye on this Saturday. Every player seemingly has some note or story
that makes them interesting this spring but we have to limit this
somewhere. So in addition to the seven
names from Monday’s article here are a few more to pay attention to in the Blue
Gold Game.

| Tony Jones Jr. |
Tony
Jones Jr. Seen as the third string
running back on a traditional depth chart, his praises are being song by
coaches and media alike. I am interested
in seeing how he fits into the mix with Adams and Williams.
Nick
Watkins The Irish have a ton of
potential in its defensive backfield but it comes in the form of mostly sophomores
who were thrust into action last season.
Nick needs to be the leader of this group on and off the field and after
his bouts with injury it needs to start now.

| Brock Wright |
Brock
Wright Based on number this freshman
tight end could redshirt this year but based on what we have heard it might be
impossible to keep him off the field. I
for one what to see if he is indeed college ready.
Sophomore Defensive Backs (Cornerbacks) Tony
Pride Jr., Julian
Love & Donte
Vaughn (Safeties) Devin
Studstill & Jalen
Elliott. All of these players were
thrown into action last year as freshmen and had to sink or swim. They all had ups and downs. After a year under their belts I am
interested in seeing who is ready to really step up.

| Tom Rees |
New Coaches Mike Elko,
Chip
Long, Brian
Polian, Clark Lea,
Del
Alexander & Tom Rees
(note Tom not Tommy). Usually you only
see this many new coaches when there is a new Head Coach. I am interested to see how they carry
themselves and interact with each other and the players.
