Well the Temple DL transfer already committed here and James Ash the Wake Forest DL transfer already put USF football in his instagram bio

If we can get that UNC transfer then our interior DL would probably already be upgraded.

Jamari Stewart the Mississippi state transfer had been looking good all offseason apparently and just hasn't played this year due to a foot injury, getting him back is basically a new addition to the dline.

And I'm sure there's some more names we're looking at in the portal that we just haven't heard about yet. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see us add 5 portal guys on the dline + Jamari Stewart when its all said and done. Then have guys like Rashawn Yates and Tramel Logan return for depth

I question if the Temple transfer is quality but time will tell. Forest would be good for depth but not sure he jumps right in. Stewart would be an excellent addition assuming the injury is healing up (foot injuries can linger forever). We might get that number for the d line I just hope they do not turn out to be filler for a team in need of quality.

I'm not sure that is true.  Let's say Alabama has a guy not getting playing time because there are 3 studs in front of him.  That guy probably isn't transferring to Top 25 - 30 teams if he is 3rd or 4th on the depth chart.  There is still plenty of competition for that guy just not "everyone".  

Why would the Bama kid come here if he can sign with a Georgia Tech or a South Carolina? Again, the perception on this board is that we are going to get all of these players in the portal and there is no competition and they are all quality players. Yes, we get some but it’s not going to be a stable of quality D linemen.

Already looking forward to our offense next year.

To be quite honest, there is not one senior that is an NFL-caliber player, so it is no surprise they want to return.

Also don’t  forget about Kwan Powell.  He was second or third on the depth chart and turning heads in fall camp before he got hurt
