Around SBN: Yu Darvish Diagnosed With Mariners Fever

2011 Projected Wake Forest Spring Football 2-Deep Roster (Offense)

Fbccapsules1030_g6r1rg4nq

I got this idea from BCInterruption (Our sister site that represents Boston College), and since we have been taking a bit of a break since the end of basketball season, I figured this was a good time to project the two deep lineup for our football team next year.

Obviously things can change, but I am attempting to provide the most up-to-date projection of the Syracuse game were next weekend instead of the Spring Game.

If I am missing something blatant then let me know because I am bound to make one huge mistake. Comments are welcome, as well as questions about why I slotted certain players where they are. Enjoy!

Note: Year is what they will be next fall (Tanner=So, Josh Harris=R-So, etc.)

This is the first part of a two part series. Today we will focus on offense, and tomorrow we will focus on defense.

Notes

  • The offense has struggled  a good amount throughout the spring practices. I have heard from some of the players (and a parent of one of the players) that the offensive sets and schemes are fairly complicated and some are very difficult to grasp.
  • Grobe has been complaining about some of the players not practicing because of injuries. The offense (especially the tight end position) is responsible for the majority of Grobe's comments.
  • Josh Harris has been tearing it up so far at the practices and scrimmages. He has been nursing a hamstring injury, but he seemingly has not been too hampered by it so far.
  • Michael Campanaro has also had a pretty good spring. All of the wide receivers have had some drop issues, but the addition of Lonnie Galloway should help all of them. Camp and Givens will both play a fair amount out of the flanker position. This corps has a bright future, and according to many, Matt James could be very good in the next couple of years, but may not play a big role this year.
  • As mentioned before, tight ends have been a troubled spot for the offense. Ford has been nursing a leg injury, and Parker has missed some time as well. It would be nice if one of them could grab the job by the horns and take over.
  • The offensive line has a lot of question marks (as it seems to every year...). Joe Looney is the vocal and physical leader of the offense and has been playing that role very, very well. Other than Looney, nobody else has stepped up, although I know that Weaver has been playing pretty well too. Look for Summers to potentially take the starting spot from Hoag.
  • Tanner Price is still the starting quarterback and been pretty impressive from what I've heard. I'm not really sure about Stachitas or Cross as the 2nd teamer. Cross has a more impressive arm, but Stachitas really gets it done with his feet. Either way, barring injury or something else freakish happening, Price will be the starter for the Deacs against Syracuse on opening weekend.
Look for the 2nd part of the series on the defensive 2-deep in the next couple of days. Spring game is next Saturday, so I am looking forward to that as well!

Thanks for this. I was most wondering about the QB situation heading into camp and it seems like Price is the guy for now. I hope he can keep learning the offense and growing in the system this summer.

WR

Plenty of WRs that are not listed have a chance to contribute including Quan Rucker, Scooby, Brandon Terry and Matt James. Hopefully competition brings out the best in them.

I think that Summer and Blitch both red shirted so they’d be RS FR and not SO

Fixed, thanks.

Did A. Ford play any last year?

by WakeJake on Apr 10, 2011 7:56 PM EDT reply actions  

No he redshirted as well, originally was recruited to DT but got switched to OL due to a lack of depth

Just in case...

I want you fellas to remember a name… Ben Emert. Ben is listed as a RB, but has the physical tools to play all over the backfield. He is a gym rat that loves the game of football. He redshirted last year, but I think after a spring and summer he will find a way onto this list.

He reminds me of Tommy B. and Rindfrette, just huge and fast… maybe not right away, but he will have an impact on the season.

Updated the WR spot.

From what I have heard, it seems that Givens has moved outside and Camp is playing FL for us. That gives us a tremendous amount of speed with Camp, Scooby and Givens.

Offensive line is going to be a huge question mark next year

It should be alright I think.

We have 4 starters coming back (only losing Nenon), and they are all getting pushed by the younger guys. That bodes well for us.

From what I have heard/seen, Josh hasn’t needed big holes to run through either.
