per the STrib:

Thieren Cockran, who led the team with 7.5 sacks last year, and Michael Amaefula are back on the ends. Alex Keith could start for Amaefula in the season opener Thursday against Eastern Illinois, with Amaefula listed as questionable because of an unspecified injury. Newcomers Robert Ndondo-Lay and Andrew Stelter have stood out during fall camp.

This has Botticelli excited about the possibilities of his final year. With an eye toward the NFL next season, and a backup plan with law school, Botticelli has already graduated with a degree in political science and has begun a master's program in education.

"I've covered a lot of ground in five years, without being self-congratulatory," Botticelli said, smiling. "But it feels like just last week I came up here as a freshman."
