Strizak to DE
Lezzer to SS
Rich to OL
If Strizak is playing DE (presumably in pass rush situations) is Ty Schawb the new OLB?
.
Or Joy I guess. We are actually pretty thin at LB now. Don't really understand the Stizak move.
Is Richard Wilson still an RB? Seems like an unnecessary amount of depth there.
Good question. I had read more than once last year coming in that Wilson may be the best of the bunch, most explosive, etc...So it begs the question why he didn't get time last year whereas the other frosh did....Maybe took him longer on playbook, maybe needed more time to adjust to academic environment, maybe the staff just thought they had enough and wanted to hold something back, I don't know. Be interested to see how he's used (if he stays around).
When Wilson was coming in, I read that he was a short yardage back and that he was a likely LB. I never read that he was more explosive than Hilliman and Outlow
Wilson's HS tape is quite impressive.

I'd have to think he is one of the better athletes on the team, seems like a waste to have him as the 4th string RB behind Hilliman/Outlow/Willis, especially given Sherm's touches (the games we decide to actually use him), the QB runs, and our stated desire to pass more this year, the 4th string RB is gonna get like 40-50 carries total all season. Why not put him at LB or DB and see what he can do? We have Rouse to be the 4th string RB to take those 40-50 carries and Gowins can redshirt. Tons of depth and not enough athleticism on the D, in my opinion. Hopefully he is utilized - just looking at his tape, imagine him in the Keyes/KPL role blitzing QBs, he'd be an absolute terror. The speed to get to the QB, the power to get through blocks. GIMME RICHARD WILSON ON D
