If Pugh can stay healthy, that alone should improve the defense exponentially. He was a key part in the best defense in NIU history with Sutton Smith. That seems so long ago...

The 2017 defense was so ridiculously stacked:

Sutton Smith
Shawun Lurry
AJD
Kyle Pugh
Mykelti Williams
Jawuan Johnson
Bobby Jones
Weston Kramer
Jack Heflin
Josh Corcoran

Seriously? That front 7 is beast mode

I had left Blake off my reports as I didn't see him making an impact and now he is transferring. Gumbs passing him on the depth chart must have made the decision easier.

Best of luck to him.

And now he's already been replaced on the roster as well.

Same exact body type, skill set and HS positional background (WR) as Gumbs and Joiner, so clearly a specific type that they are looking for.

Northern Star articles adds nice details to the Dozier RB story and inactive list.

“His dad came up to me a couple weeks ago and said ‘I played running back, his grandfather played running back, I think he’s a running back,’” Hammock said.


Hampton was one of several Huskies who did not suit up for action. Sophomore defensive tackles Cade Haberman, Devonte O’Malley and cornerback Eric Rogers were among the list of players who remained sidelined Saturday morning.
