Soon to be added to the list: Bucky Irving and Justin Walley. Still thinking Brady Boyd might get some play, too. We’ll see when the playbook gets opened.

Hey -- whatever happened to Lantz, the kicker? Is he still with the team or did he transfer??

Where's Jalen Glaze? I see he's been in all 3 games so far this year. I have high hopes for him. Gotta watch for #12.

I think he medically retired

Michael Lantz – ... Hit four straight field goals to end the season...

Oh wow. He didn't get a Heisman nod for that?

I think Marcus missed some pretty obvious ones.

Zack Annexstad was a true FR in 2018. He played in 7 games, attempted more passes than Morgan and threw for 9 TDs.

Jordan Howden was true FR in 2018. He played in 13 games (starting 5).

Terrell Smith was a true FR in 2018. He played in 11 games (started 9)

Thought his list was a bit weak as well.
