6. Incoming freshman

This look about right from what we know right now? Looks like a good bit of talent and depth. Jefferson could be primary backup but you never know coming back from injury how someone will perform.

Jefferson would have to apply for a med redshirt i thought if he wanted to try and play in 23. Who knows if either side wants that.

Wright just didn't show much good this yr. Maybe because he never was physically right, and a bad O line, and bad playcaller.

In KSR write-up of Davis committing, Nick Roush wrote that Jefferson was applying for a medical waiver to be able to play next year.

Stoops said that Beckwith is more of a receiver as his primary position. If we get Wilcox would feel better with at least one more runner so we have at least six or seven quality runners.

At his size and athleticism, seems like Beckwith could make a great TE or OLB...I'm guessing he just doesn't want to play either of positions.

He isn't a RB at all. He is extremely tight when he runs. Needs way more flexibility. He's honestly probably more suited for Jack or 4-3 de. Way late for that level change though
