I work with a guy that is friends with his Dad, he told me that he could still play in the OM game. Also said Dykes had been playing the best football of his career before the injury.

Aren’t we loaded at TE? I know they want to RS the freshmen but do you think we will play as many 2 TE sets this year?

was it MCL or Meniscus?

Dykes is not your traditional tight end. He's smaller and has more speed which creates match up problems for LB's to cover him. He's a weapon in CMN's offense.

Dykes and Magnifico supposed to be key options in the O this year. They will be check-downs much more than last year. Hope he gets back quickly.

Good to hear. Magnifico was open a lot in the Birmingham Bowl. Several missed opportunities.

I thought Joey and Sean both were underutilized last year but I’m no expert in the intricacies of Norvell’s offense other than to comment on it in general.

After the huge game Dykes had against UCF in the championship 2 years ago, I though for sure he'd be targeted more last year.

Meniscus -- sorry I misunderstood the person telling me..
