per Sid:
One reason for the optimism of the Gophers coaching staff is the number of freshmen who are going to play. Those freshmen will give the roster the depth it needs if it loses key players to injury.
“The guys that have really done a good job that stood out that are younger, [defensive tackle] Steve Richardson, we’ve talked a lot about, but another young man, [defensive end] Andrew Stelter, has had an outstanding camp and did some really good things,” Kill said. “Gaelin Elmore … is doing some good things at defensive end. At linebacker, Jonathan Celestin had a real nice scrimmage and is going to be a young man that will play some ball for us this year.”
There has been a lot of discussion about the Gophers secondary this spring, and Kill said the depth there is helping more than just the pass defense.
“In the secondary, and we are really good in the secondary, we have a young guy named Craig James who had an outstanding camp; he’s going to do a lot for us on special teams and really stood out. Duke [Daletavius] McGhee, a young man we redshirted last year in the secondary, has been excellent. He’s going to do a lot of good things for us. We have a deep area there, and certainly a group that can help us with special teams.”
