RB Trey Sanders:
...Barring a setback, it’s reasonable to expect Sanders to be an active participant during upcoming spring drills. Whether that involves full contact remains to be seen, although history of running backs coming off injuries of significance tells us a black non-contact jersey may be tied to Sanders’ involvement.

Ultimately, a full-go Sanders for 2020 fall camp is the ultimate goal....

NT Ishmael Sopsher:
...There’s no question that Sopsher has the physical tools needed to thrive on the point. From that standpoint, the powerfully-built Louisianan brings to mind former UA nose tackle Anthony “Bear” Bryant.

In limited snaps against Western Carolina in November, Sopsher showed the ability to stack and shed would-be blockers...

Sopsher was rated the #1 recruit at one time during his senior year.  But he gained weight and reported out of shape.  Hopefully he's gotten his act together by now.  WE NEED A BIG MAN IN THE MIDDLE THIS YEAR!

Yes we do. Another Jesse Williams type would be nice please. Looking forward to some speed off the edges too..

Sopsher seems to be more power than speed.  I'm thinking he'll be a first and second-down guy.  DJ Dale can handle 3rd down.

I was about to ask about DJ. I also think with the injuries that are coming back at LB and the experience gained by to 2 true freshmen we should be good. I wonder about our Special Teams again i.e. kicking. Also our DB's? RTR!
