Ford seems to be playing well, already passing Beamon for snaps. I'm looking for him to be an anchor inside next season. I believe Izzard has another year of eligibility as well. Durant has been having a nice season and also could return. He's undersized for the NFL so maybe he does come back. Then Artis, Blanding an the 4 2024 freshmen. DT should be fine.
DDS hasn't exactly been lighting it up, but it seems that both DDS and Carter could go to NFL after this season. Vanover, I'm not sure if he can return. Would be great of Fisher can come back and get a chance to play. Grandville and a good many other young DE's will be competing to get in the 4-5 DE rotation. Should begin to get sorted out in Spring practices.
If Vilbert, DDS, Carter and Vanover all leave and the DT's that can come back do so it seems to me that DE is the position on the DL that the staff will priortize a transfer player or two, but there are a good many young players that we haven't seen developing that I'll be looking to see who gets mentioned during Spring practice and who might flash in the B/W game.....
