Underperformance from 5 star takes is slowly mounting. Arch got the stars in multiple ways but not from on the field performance at Newman, and he looks like a guy with some tools that could be special but effectively gained nothing from jogging around against impotent 2A competition, meaning he needed and may still need significant time in the oven so to speak.
Kobe Black.
Simmons is special no doubt, yet for some reason looks indistinguishable from Justice Finkley so far this year
Jonah Williams could be great, and patience is needed no doubt, but the cards are begining to stack against him in an uncomfortable way. Looks like a Whittington trajectory early on, at least there's hope his injury situation does not become chronic just yet.
Ant Hill is who he is, but again has looked the least impactful of the three top linebackers early in the '25 campaign. My hope is he is being held back a bit until conference play.
Brandon Baker looks like a serviceable tackle, nowhere near expectations however.
Too early to make any judgements for Terry, despite fellow freshman Lance Jackson playing heavily.
Jaime Ffrench? Michael Terry? Crickets so far. Hopefully at least Lockett starts getting more snaps.
Wingo can run end arounds.
Baxter has had a ton of bad luck
DJ Campbell, has played a lot and has held a lot
