OL update

[bdgan]

Wormley is also apparently playing injured per BWI team. that makes 4 of 5 OL either out or not 100%

Ugh!

Now Franklin indicated Olu might not play. All hands on deck if Wallace and Tengwell are also still out this week. If those three are out. OL would probably be:
LT - Effner
LG - Nourzard
Center - Scruggs
RG - Wormley or Vega (Freshman)
RT - Shelton (Freshman)
Extra OL - JB Nelson (spells @ ??)

In terms of all hands on deck, what is the status of all our scholarship OL? This is the list of OL.

OT - Jimmy Christ - status?
C - Nick Dawkins - out
OG - JB Nelson - is he out?
OT - Ibrahim Traore - has he even played?
OG - Landon Tengwall - out
OG - Hunter Nourzad - now starter and was injured
OT - Drew Shelton - starter now?
C- Juice Scruggs - starter okay - knock on wood?
OG - Vega Ioane - starter or play?
OT/OG - Bryce Effner - starter/rotate as backkup
OT - Malek McNeil - has he ever played?
OT - Olu Fashanu - out?
OG - Sal Wormley - playing but injured?
OT - Golden Israel-Achumba - has he ever played?
OT - Caedan Wallace - out?

I think that is all the 15 scholarship OL, including FR and also experienced players who have not been playing. Injuries are limiting 7 of them - out or not really 100%. to be elite, I think you need 10-12 of these guys to be able to step up with little drop off. since our guys leave early for NFL, we are not going to have a team full of OL 24-25 years old (i.e. like Illinois), so that means our young recruits (4*/5*) must be able to perform as FR/Soph against older less talented teams if we are going to survive injury situations like this.

Andy Frank is listed as the Director of Player Personnel. Not sure what his specific duties encompass?

Andy coordinates recruiting among other things. Dann Kabala is the NIL guy.

Hey coach, ELKS with a playoff win last night 42-21.

He said we will see. If Olu can not go they would keep the other 4 the same and Christ would play.

Has my blessing.
