Maverick MorrisMaverick Morris “Maverick Morris is a guy that definitely needed his year of redshirting. He’s going to be a good player for us and I’m excited about him. He’s using this as an opportunity to get stronger. He’s got great feet and really moves well.” RB Tyshon Dye “We know the injuries that he’s had. He’s the big back that we’ve been looking for. Unfortunately, we couldn’t get that to happen. He’s very explosive and runs very physical. He runs with great pad level.” RB Wayne Gallman “Wayne Gallman is a very violent runner. He’s quick and explosive. I’m excited about him. We were able to redshirt him and get him stronger. He will get bigger and stronger with time, but he’s not quite there yet. I’m really excited to see him this spring. He and Tyshon will be a great running back duo for us.” TE D.J. Greenlee “Another young man that is getting bigger and stronger. He’s taking on a tight end role. We’ll see where he fits in with that. I’m excited about him. He’s got really good hands. I know he’s gotten bigger and stronger and that’s what he needed.” OL
Tyrone CrowderTyrone Crowder “He’s definitely going to be a very, very good player for us. I’m excited about him. He’s going to be a great player. He has taken ownership to get into better shape. He has lost a lot of weight. I think he’s lost about 35 pounds and he looks good.”
