Some comments after watching Mack's press conference. Didn't see any highlights of Hicks.
Nolan Brewster....Will play safety (either spot). Very good speed and size. Coaches kid and good student.
Blake Gideon...coaches kid and great leader. Will play safety.
DJ Monroe....Maybe fastest kid on team. Could play CB or receiver. Will likely play CB here.
Aaron Williams....Will play CB, but could play safety as well. Listed as #1 CB in nation on some sites. Very fast and can make plays. Likely will play as a true frosh. Could be a return guy as well.
Jarvis Humphrey....Will play NT. Extremely quick and has good size. Will play as a true frosh.
Kheeston Randall....DT who Mack says will play as a true frosh. Has grown and gained weight and Mack says is now 6-5 to 6-6 and 290 lbs. Looks like a mounter at the DT position. Very athletic as well.
Justin Tucker.....Highly rated kicker who Mack indicates will be used for kick-offs. Looks like he wants a guy who can kick it into the endzone routinely and get touchbacks. Could play as a true frosh.
Emmanuel Acho...has gained a few lbs. Will play OLB. Brother is already on the team.
Dravannti Johnson...Could play DE or OLB. Tall, big, and can run. Should get 1st look at OLB.
Mark Buchanan....Has great feet. Will play OT. Mack says they are looking at bringing in kids like Mark now who are more athletic and can run.
Luke Poehlman....can play OT or DT, but will play OT at UT. Big kid with long arms that can run as well. Very athletic. Looks to me like he needs to add size and I do not see him playing as a true frosh.
David Snow...Will play OG or OC. Very big kid that will be a great OG.
Jeremy Hills....RB. Has great speed and is in for the spring so could help him in the depth chart this year. Could be an underrated recruit.
Tre Newton...Nate Newton's son. Maybe the most versatile RB in this year's class. Can run, pass protect, and catch some. Quick with size.
Ryan Roberson...plays TB, FB, and LB. Big guy that can run.
Dan Buckner....Big, tall, WR that is in for the spring. With Limas gone you have to think he will play this year.
Brock Fitzhenry......WR. Extremely fast and is a game changer. Could be used in screens, slant routes, etc.
DJ Grant......great speed. Could be a play maker at WR. Has great size.
DeSean Hales....Track star. Another play maker at WR. Could be used in return game.
Likely to play in 08:
Brewster (Safety)
Gideon (Safety)
Williams (CB)
Humphrey (NT)
Randall (DT)
Tucker (K)
Johnson (OLB)
Buchanan (OT)
Snow (OG)
Hills (TB)
Buckner (WR)
Grant and Hales are possibilities but with depth at WR this year hard to tell.
Very exciting class. Great DB class. Great WR class. Very speedy class. Very versatile class. Play makers on offense and defense.
May not be the highest rated class in the nation or getting much attention but this class will make an immediate impact.
