In mavsman's roster he has put both Mukes and O'Neal at CB. Both were recruited with "safety" as their given position. I know that both have played CB before and with their skill levels being so high, I like this move (if it happens). We have #'s at both CB and safety. Trying to balance talent levels at both positions is the challenge. Safety looks strong with Dubar, Moffett, Plumley, Adams, Marshall but CB has some talented guys too with Egbo, Jolly, Thursby, Ramsey, Anderson and Linton. Adding these guys just makes these positions of strength and depth.

Guess I was too quick with my last post. Losing Nwankwo, Dubar and Ballard are surprises. Don't know the others although Girty played some and Smith looked promising. Carpenter has a future in media. Probably see some more changes this spring.

The strength of this team offensive wise will the OL. They are returning every starter, including Reese Moore! Will also have Trent Pullen back this season who was a projected starter last season before a season ending injury in camp. I’m also excited to see how the competition between Fogle and Hatten goes at left guard, seems they split time the last two games and Fogle played really well. This will be a talented deep group that will lead this team under the leadership of Thielen and Moore.

2023 Roster is up on acusports.com Players off the roster that had more eligibility- RB Malaci Medlock WR Patrick Ballard WR Matthew Bynum (walk-on) OL Peyten Girty OL Ty Smith OL Cohen Carpenter (walk-on) DE Dennis Herrold LB Chike Nwankwo S Abner Dubar I think we definitely need to bring in some more OL and DL transfer help. It would be good to add some more immediate experience at CB/S if we can. I was finally beginning to feel good about our OL as they matured another year and got some needed size and help/depth. We will need that depth to continue to rotate better.

We are going to need to be physical in the trench and need to be able to rotate players to keep them fresh without dropping too much. Of course a lot will be determined on how we use our TEs. We have OG and OTs that can rotate, but still would like a couple more.

Let me be clear, I marked both Mukes and O'Neal at safety as that is what 247sports said they were. In reading Cassity's comments yesterday it sounded like ACU was recruiting them to play CB the entire time. So, I changed their position from S to CB.

His dad hinted at the end of the season he was done because of his knee. It would be great if we had him another year.

Anyone know why these guys are gone? Chike is the only one who saw considerable playing time, but he has already done 6 years of school and might want to move on. Abner Dubar is a bit disappointing, he gave ACU more DB depth, but he was probably looking at less time next year than this year and he did not play extensively (except in 1-2 game when we were really short handed). Ballard had some potential, but never seemed to get untracked. The rest got little or no playing time. I am disappointed to see Ty Smith leave -- I thought he would be a starter by now, but he never came close.

What does anyone know about special teams? I saw they listed two punters but nothing on a kicker. I read that they signed a HS kicker for the Fall. Any others on the team?

There is a kicker coming in that is pretty good. He Made 5 over 40 in game his sr year. Made a few game winners this last year including42 yarder into a strong wind to beat #1 Stephenville.
