Could Rose be at SS, with Harris at LB? Just thinking about the report of 14 playing DB in the 7-7, Harris being a little undersized for DE (though last year this worked well with Marque Cummings), and Rose being a little light for an ILB
I think Rose (6'0" 200lb) is going to be full time offense.
He'll be like a battering ram clearing the way for Napier (5'10" 200lb) and occasionally carrying the ball himself.
In the 7v7 he caught some passes as well.
Dijon Harris is 15lbs heavier than Cummings was last year.
He doesn't have Marque's motor (who does) but it's pretty good given he played RB his first 2 years at X
So with Rose full time offense and D. Harris playing down the front 6 is looking like
LE #97 Ted Hammond Jr. 6'5” 260lb offers from Vanderbilt, Temple, UMass, UConn and Miami (OH)
NG #99 Antony Morris Sr. 6'2" 273lb offers from Morehead St, Valparaiso, Hanover, Walsh University
RE #44 Dijon Harris Sr. 6'1" 230lb / #53 Isiah Jackson Sr. 6'3" 235lb offers from Otterbein, Hanover
OLB (Will) #37 Justin Kattus Jr. 6’1” 220lb
ILB (Sam) #38 Noah Beck Jr. 6’2” 230lb
OLB (Jet) #8 Alex Devine Sr. 5'11" 190lb
That's pretty good size front to back.
3 of the 4 downlinemen already have college offers, J. Kattus and Beck will start getting offers after this season and Devine who is a national honor society member will likely play at Dayton, a top notch engineering school.
This is going to be a big team...the OLine averages 280lb, the defensive front 6 averages 235lb, the O-Backfield with 2-200lbers and the 4 TE's are between 6'3" and 6'6".
With the older Kattus playing Will and Devine at Jet that has allowed Bonner, last year's leading tackler and a 3 year varsity starter, to move into a secondary that was depleted by graduation.
They will be tested immediately by Lakota West and Loyola Academy.
GO X!
