RE: 2019 Football Roster - Realistically
Looking ahead on the D-line.
Judging from 2016 and 2017, our Dline looked to be excellent for 2018.
Sadly that was not the case, as, especially the interior, seemed to completely break down.
Some of this can be attributed to the loss of Miles Fox after the VT game.
However, even at full strength, Liberty put up 238 yds on the ground.
So, we lose:
DE - all everything Oshane Ximines, Daniel Appough, and Tim Ward.
Those are huge losses.
Remaining are:
6'4" 215lb RFR non rated Marcus Haynes, At 215 he is likely a pass rush specialist (weak side defensive end)
6'5" 245lb Fr Oshea Jackson, a 2 star, he shows promise
6'4" 235lb RFR James Valle III, a 3 star who will likely excel.
6'3" 250lb So Sam White, he has had some limited playing time, but.....
So far one commit for 2019, also a WDE is 6'4" non rated Elonte Jones.
We lose:
DT - Ryan Londree, Pat Toal, and Brandon Tyson.
Fortunately, the best of them, Miles Fox returns from a medical redshirt.
Remaining are:
6'2" 275lb non rated So Ty-Kee McCullers, very limited playing time
6'5" 275lb non rated Fr Sokoya McDuffie, played vs VMI
6'3' 270lb 2 star So Jeremy Meiser, returning starter
6'2" 275lb 2 star So. Juwan Ross, extensive playing time
6'5" 306lb 2 star Jr Mufu Taiwo, played is all games in n2018
6'4" 280lb 2 star RFR cameron Washington, played vs MTSU, VMI
So far one commit for 2019, 6'4: 315lb 3 star Cole Birdow
With Miles Fox coming back, and Meiser, Ross and Taiwo hopefully
improved we may be ok. Cameron Washington may surprise. At least we have some depth at DT.
Honestly, DE looks to be catastrophic beyond words. We have only three true DEs, including a Fr and RFR, with very little experience, and possible only two will be game ready. We have no depth whatsoever.
