He has always had a freakish body and elite athleticism but he seems to finally be putting it all together. I have to imagine he could go pretty high after his senior year next year. I doubt he'd declare this year, but if he had a big enough year who knows.


There is a lot to like with Hageman. He has very strong base strength and really good variety of pass rush moves. I would advise him to go back to school and build on this year. He has some legit pocket collapsing ability inside and could play his way into a Friday selection in 2014. Bummer about Gray btw, though the dude they brought in looked pretty solid against a decent WMU team. I like that Gray stayed on the sideline and helped out, class move of leadership.

White at least has the ability to make make people miss and shiftiness, so he could possibly turn some of these 0 and negative yardage plays in runs of a couple. He also has the speed to get to the edge and turn the corner.


I doubt that Ball will end up losing a significant amount of carries to any back, but if he did, i'd rather see Gordon get more touches than those going to White.

One defense of Ball that jumped out from tape on more viewings: he's exceptional in pass protection. Correctly read the blitz and snuffed it out with vigor several times. Saved Frederick from giving up two different sacks. IMO Frederick needs to go to guard ASAP, not ready for the mental part of playing center.
