I don't remember hearing anything on him but he is not listed in the media guide. Nobody listed with his number 82 either. If so not a huge loss, Barr and Antoine were ahead of him already for the slot. Phillips might have jumped during Spring too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mack and Adams being gone could very well be an issue. There was more to them than their 40 time. Mack had great vision, and there was a noticeable drop-off when he wasn't in. Adams ran hard, and was great on the jet sweeps. We may have guys that have similar 40 times, but that doesn't necessarily mean that we can plug them in and get the same results. I suspect there will be a slight drop-off in explosive plays, and the overall effectiveness of the offense. We'll find out soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see him develop more into a multi-faceted weapon this year. MVS has wheels. Not as sure about the others so much, but it's Florida ... I expect us to have some speed when and where we need it. Yes. Both Barr and Scantling ran track in HS and did very well in both the 100 and 200 meter events. Their 100 meter times were better than Adams. Barr: https://www.athletic.net/TrackAndField/Athlete.aspx?AID=4064497#/L0 Scantling: https://www.athletic.net/TrackAndField/Athlete.aspx?AID=5093196#/L0 Adams: https://www.athletic.net/TrackAndField/Athlete.aspx?AID=5093201#/L0 Chauncy Smart is an "elite" 100 meter runner. He is one of the best in the nation. https://www.athletic.net/TrackAndField/Athlete.aspx?AID=7861865#/L0 Edited August 26, 2017 by Mama_Bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are some more I found who are on the depth chart. I'm sure there are many others who I didn't search for on both sides of the ball.

I hope to see some new guys step up here. DJ and Flowers are explosive. I hope to see top end speed from Barr or Antoine but not sure if they have it like Mack and Adams. Duran Bell has it but he is small and probably wont play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
