Team adds eleven freshmen
We’ll start the show by discussing the news that we hit on yesterday, but we will discuss it further today. Class of 2026 defensive end Daniel Jennings made a big move this week, reclassifying to 2025 and joining the team a year early. It’s the second time in two years the team has added a player in this manner. We’ll discuss Jennings’s skills and what they mean for the program.
With Jennings on board, the team added 11 freshmen this week. We’ll discuss the remaining bulk of the class by giving you the officially listed heights and weights for the incoming freshmen. Can any of them find a role on the roster this fall? We’ll discuss the players who arrive at a position with an opportunity to see if their skills match the timeline.
