Our D next year is extremely young
Summary
Added transfers: Flounoy (DT soph), Eugene (DB RJr), K Johnson (Edge Sr), D'Appolonia (LB Jr), Fontus (DT Sr). Two senior/junior adds boost experience; new DC impact critical.
Since this thread started, with some interesting analysis, we picked up a bunch of transfers.
In no particular order, we now have added to the defense:
Flounoy: Sophomore Defensive Tackle
Eugene: RJr Defensive Back
K Johnson: Senior Edge
D'Appolonia: Jr LB
Fontus: Senior Defensive Tackle
It feels like we picked up two rotation DT which were really critical, an Edge who could be a difference maker, an athletic LB and solid DB depth. (did I miss anybody?)
Does this small defensive transfer class improve the defense enough? Are we going to rely entirely on the new DC being better than the old DC?
At the very least, by adding two seniors and two juniors to the defense, I think we greatly increased our experience.
