Redshirts I want to see in Spring

So now that this recruiting class is over and ideally we'll never hear about them for another two years, I was thinking about guys who redshirted last year and who I want to see the most after a year in the shadows.
Everyone knows about Mcgary on the Line, but I really am curious to see how Burleson developed. Does he look more like a lineman, TE, or someone Romar should poach if he wants to survive?
Also are any of the DBs we haven't seen yet going to step up and fill the void in Safety (JoJo? Gardenhire?) or are we just praying Ezekiel Turner is already a man? Kevin King is a freak athlete but he really needs to borrow some aggressiveness from Budda if he wants a chance to stay on the field. Generally if that hasn't happened by now it never will.

I wanna see if that Karta-Samuels guy can win the starting job at QB. If not, I wanna see if that Browning guy can win the starting job. If not, I wanna see if Pete is smart enough to make Cyler an option QB. If not, see you in 2016.

Burleson grayshirted so he still has a RS year available.
I'm pretty sure Gardenhire played at CB in 2014 but could be wrong.
I'm thinking Zeke Turner ends up winning the SS job and King is the #3 safety.
I'd looking forward to seeing Jaylen Johnson at Buck and Jomon Dotson at RB. -
Vita Vea

You're right about Gardenhire. Played mainly a special teams role, with a little time at CB. Not nearly as big as I thought judging by the school profile, so definitely not the answer for SS.HFNY said:Burleson grayshirted so he still has a RS year available.

Zeke could be the next Sean Parker

Alsoexcited about Warren at LB

Well, hopefully KJ MagnaCarta didn't win scout POY by default. I really hope he's a better version of his brother. If not, we could be fucked this year.
I know, water is wet POTD. -
My only worry about Carta is that if he was good enough to supplant Miles, you figured it would have been worth burning the shirt before TSWO. Unless Peterman took a long look at the squad and just assumed (smartly) TSWO before it began and saved him.DugtheDoog said:Well, hopefully KJ MagnaCarta didn't win scout POY by default.

It might be doog speak, but if Browning is as good as I hope, he should be better as a TF than a guy who wasn't good enough as a TF to supplant Miley. -
The D-Line... and MagnaCarta.

Coach Pete (ILTCCPCP) mentioned Matt James at his presser. I'm guessing he might be interesting to see. Echo Jaylen Johnson 6'2 255 with speed. Also interested to see what kind of player Bowman is. Haven't heard much yet. Could be good or bad. Either way it'll be interesting.
-
I don't think it's a sure thing that King loses his starting job. He's familiar with the defense and is a good athlete. His athleticism makes him not a total lost cause. Nobody has ever watched Zeke Turner play.
I know this thread is about redshirt freshmen, but Joyner could win a starting job at CB or S. -
"Redshirting freshmen? Wha- why would you do that, brah?"

Vita Vea and Greg Gaines - whichever one can fill the void.
-
Being a former D lineman I am interested in them as well. Haven't seen or heard much about J. Johnson but he was highly thought of when recruited and I'd like to see where he's at. Pete raved about Gaines in his presser last year and Gaines made the two deeps as a true frosh to start the season but was then redshirted. Choate talked about Vea. Dissly , Topou etc. Lots of big bodies and lots of big shoes to fill but I think were gonna be OK! Great to see some flippin' depth!Passion said:Vita Vea and Greg Gaines - whichever one can fill the void.

The OL, DL, and QB positions ... nothing else really matters when it comes to 2015.

First & foremost, that #MyCarta doesn't have the ball.Tequilla said:

I think Petersen was going to RS Magna Carta regardless of what Dude Brah left him with (Miley, Lindquist, Williams).
I'm guessing Magna Carta starts the season but if he struggles during the OOC schedule, then Petersen will turn to Browning. Or maybe Browning is so advanced already, he runs away with the job in fall ball. Tune in because either way, it will be interesting.Doogles said:

It's easier to look at this way:

This is true. Gaines was above Qualls in the depth chart for the Hawaii game before they decided to redshirt him.Sledog said:

Given how we're losing all 4 starters on the DL and how the depth at the position is thin, I'm curious to see all the DL we redshirted last year. Choate seems to be the best position coach on the team given how the DL exceeded expectations last year, so I'm curious to see how the position group shapes up this spring with the competition open at every position. -

That's because he was one of 2014's 12 least important recruits.bananasnblondes said:

Plagiarism puppy. Nice work doogles. You obviously ran with my touting of Al Burleson Jr jr.Doogles said:So now that this recruiting class is over and ideally r hear about them for another two years, I was thinking about guys who redshirted last year and who I want to see the most after a year in the shadows.
