I wonder how much effort went into trying to get him here especially with Braster's departure? I think going into the season with 4 DEs (2 true Fr.) is suboptimal. If there are any injuries we would have to move LBs into DE.

Losing Braster sucks, but Turner and Assoa have experience and can play well. They will probably look at bringing in a grad transfer for depth. Remember we still have Balbani, Guillory, and potentially Jackson plus the 2 freshman.

Turner can move inside on passing downs and will be a factor this year. Next man up!

It's possible a couple of the linebackers in the 2017 class could be moved to DE as well. Maybe Tanner Motz and Derek Hubbard?

I saw one of our DE verbals is visiting Norte Dame.

I think they went as a team.

Where did Nathan Braster end up?

Was there ever a reason he put forward for transferring?

Hope he is doing well and appreciate his contributions to Bronco football. However, this team
is coming together and would have been a nice piece of their success for 2017.

Thought he transferred to NAIA power St. Francis University in Ft. Wayne, IN.

Just checked St. Francis University roster....No Nathan Braster. Hope he is doing well wherever he is.
