Another way to look at it, could be that those will be the highest impact players. Either proven FCS starters with 1 year left or guys who ball out and move up again.

I’d hope we prioritize the areas that help make a QB great rather than banking our hope on a great QBASUFan4863 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 03, 2026 1:07 pmI think we’ve seen that you have to have multiple guys capable of leading the backfield at any moment in college. At least 3 that you feel really good about. Lewis got nicked against Marshall and Ark State I believe so the odds of him going 12+ games would seem low.

Build from the inside out. OL & DL priority 1. LB, QB, RB,&TE priority 2. WRs, DBs,& special teams priority 3.

Re: Portal time 25-26
A ton of talent out there.
33% of all college football players are in the portal.
Over 4500 guys. Should be able to find some!

Re: Portal time 25-26
It does appear we are primarily shooting for players at the FCS levels and below. It also appears that we are targeting several who are at some schools not in the region who have ties to the region.

Of the P4, FCS, G6 transfers I have the least confidence in the G6 to G6.

He visited and got offered by Colorado. Saw he’s announcing commitment at 7:30, didn’t say where to, but not sure he’s returning, however it’d be amazing if he did.EastTNMountaineer wrote: ↑Sun Jan 04, 2026 5:36 pmDylan Manuel is has reposted 2 things on X about coming back to App
