Notes

Live Team Notes

Vibes: Meh, no NIL, 3rd lowest P4 portal class

New DC Travis Johansen was S Dakota's HC

QB Lonergan (BC) serviceable, can't run. Depth?

RB Raymond one of CFBs best. Good depth here

WR Duff a great target, but there's no proven depth

OL 1 starter back, 2 more G5/FCS. Options here but ?
