Adding a few guys in positions who will definitely split time. The late season development was George and Chase Smith. Had heard and seen glimpses, but definitely look the part to fill big gaps at LB and with Rambo leaving. If we can get a veteran RT and good pass rushing DE in the portal, and keep some of the guys like Nelson and Stevenson, this will be a 10 win team with losses to T A&M and Clemson. But I expect us to battle and have a real shot to win one of those.

QB - TvD
RB - Knighton/Chaney
WR - George (looks smooth and will put on some weight)
WR - Restrepo/B. Smith
WR - K. Smith/Brinson (big offseason battle there)
TE - Mallory/Arroyo (big development with Mallory staying)
OT - Nelson
OG - Rivers
C - Clarke
OG - Scaife
OT - Campbell or McLaughlin (or transfer)

DE - Harvey
DT - Taylor
DT - Harrison-Hunte
DE - C. Williams (at least one impact DE transfer - Roche/Phillips/Johnson from FSU type guy)
SLB - K. Smith (a few extra LBs will help in offseason)
MLB - Flagg (let's see how much weight Troutman puts on)
WLB - Chase Smith (ding ding ding...everyone saw it and now he will be a 6'3 230 monster for us...came in at 176 lbs.)
CB - Stevenson (massive if he stays but 50/50 at best)/Blades
SS - J. Williams (in the box safety)
FS - K. Kitchens/A. Williams (3 man rotation at safety with J. Willams)
CB - Clarke (has the speed and ball skills needs one more offseason)/Ivey (played better late in year after losing starting gig)
Nickel - Couch (not giving up on him as he had a sophomore slump)....frosh CBs (Graves/Rodgers) will definitely push for time at CB
