W.t.f. is going on up there

He wasted three years of this receiving core, responding to comment above

If only Carlson wasn't the worst coach of all time. I remember one practice him telling scout team dbs "it's third and long safeties read run". Safeties barely read run against him anyway. What a dummy

Jacob Rosiek and Josh Benson have also left the team, Dilan Scargle FR DB appears to be the front runner for the backup corner position

I like Austin Petrie, Tyler Newkirk, or Dylan Johnson there

Dalton Stokes as well

#7 Kye Hall SR. Linebacker has also been removed from the roster

DB Aaron King
WR Antonio Dargaj
OL Nick Johnson
LBJacob Gapinski
have left team

Interesting roster notes.

JR tight end Mason Sutter is up to 6-7 240, was recruited at 6-5 190
James Reed and De La Rosa are both up to 300 lbs at DT

Valpo football video had Tristan DE LARosa and Jimmy See Wald both practicing. Great signs

Don't personally know to be honest. Just adding up factors.

Papenfuss was really third option in his class at quarterback and was from Florida. Combine that with the team bringing in two more quarterbacks and Valpo being none scholarship that is tough. If he lost his spot to one of the freshman he'd be fourth string looking at a Sophomore-Redshirt Freshman-Freshman/Mullen in front of him. That is a tough sell to stay

Kicker Logan Robinson is not reporting to camp however his name may surface as a walk on at a different school after camp ends.

Loss of Underclassmen


Receivers-This year's class is better. A lot better.
Linebackers-Same thing plus keeping the ones who contributed last year

-No update on Seewald. Edit: I am about 50/50 Chris Duncan will take the first snap at Montana

-Mullen transferred from Tiffin where he did not play football

-As of Clarke, expect him to be starting long snapper, Petruf and Sutter are both quality tight ends and both played and started the double tight end set last year. Petruf also had a great spring and Sutter is a two year returning starter. I expect Clarke to play in every game and be featured in some double tight end sets. However it was either be a special teams, offense utility player, the teams long snapper, and travel every game, or be the team's third string quarterback. He went with the option to see the field.

Spinal/Neck injury in spring

Alright just a few quick questions

1, I can do a preseason depth chart by games played last year and add in freshman and redshirts and update it weekly if anyone be interested?

2, I can also do player breakdowns again if members would like

A few quick hits

1. Tough loss on Hughes but nunes will help also expecting a big breakout year from Leandre a former 247sports 3 star

2. D line lost Michael Penn and Brent dicksom. Penn was quality depth. Dickson had a load of potential

3. Expecting 6 wins this year team much better however schedule is brutal for valpo

Was really surprised with the size of this class due to only losing about 12 seniors and only two freshman to attrition. Coach Cecchini always told us when we played that we had to try out every spring and earn our spot for the following fall. After seeing the quality and size of this class Im guessing a good amount will be there for fall which means spring will be very important for players to establish their spot for camp

I'm a fan not an author,  but I can fix it to appease viewers
