BP: On offense, the comfort is the experience – includes receiving corps, tight end, and offensive line. Pleased with Trey Smith's spring development.

BP: On defense, excited about the competition in the secondary; feels there's a good chemistry in the room. Believes Yasir Abdullah can play early. Mentions defensive line will be bigger, but has less experience.

BP: Jawon Pass had a good winter and continues studying film on competition. Feels that Pass is showing comfort in the leadership role, which has been fun to watch.

KS: When describing what a healthy Colin Wilson brings to the team, Kolby Smith immediately said, 'Big plays.'

CK: Feels strongly about the tight end group. All three tight ends – Kemari Averett, Micky Crum, and Jordan Davis, – can play as inside or outside receivers. They also can help with downhill running.

NP: Jordan Travis' athleticism jumped out during the recruiting process. Also was impressed with his arm strength and that he could contribute.
