All-Conference
I paid close attention to the defensive line, which has a lot to prove this fall. Line coach Rick Kaczenski gets after it and is a great, intense teacher. End Jason Ankrah is the lone starter back up front. He’s big and fast. He said after practice that he’s worked as a de facto coach for the young guys over the summer. Ankrah is a leader, doing more post-practice work with his guys today. Overall, this was one of the best-looking fronts I have seen on the tour. I liked what I saw from guys like ends Avery Moss, Randy McMullen and Randy Gregory, a lean athlete who gets up the field. McMullen is also an impressive specimen who brings the heat. Inside, John Papuchis likes Thad Randle. He’s a bankable commodity. Vincent Valentine is a prototype run stuffer, but he also can move. Aaron Curry and Kevin Williams showed me some athletic ability. And keep an eye on true freshman Maliek Collins. He’s a 300-pounder who coaches say may play.
