Transfer Portal Class Breakdown & Fit for 2026Offensive Line (primary worry spot)
  • Melvin Siani: Likely immediate RT starter; plug-and-play confidence
  • Brandon Baker: Slides inside to RG (or potentially LG) for better fit/depth
  • Trevor Goosby: Returns at LT
  • Connor Robertson: Expected C starter
  • Jontae Newman: Long-term developmental (impact likely 2027+)
  • Dylan Sikorski: Depth/swing guard only; concerns from Oregon State backup role & pass-pro limitations; should not start on a title-contending team
Running Backs
  • Hollywood Smothers: Leans RB1; physical, strong after-contact yards (~4+ YPC), pass-catching ability
  • Relique Brown: Explosive big-play threat (home-run style like peak Jayden Blue); excellent in space & receiving
  • Interchangeable RB1 potential; elite room depth with Arch Manning, James Simon, Michael Terry, Derek Cooper
Tight End
  • Mike Masunas (from Michigan State): Underrated; strong blocker, projects 400–500 receiving yards
  • Likely best blocking TE recently (vs. Helm/Sanders/Endries era)
  • Nick Townsend: Freak athlete (e.g., sub-11 200m speed at 6'3–6'4, ~230 lbs); nasty blocker; major role increase expected
  • Room gains major versatility & danger in passing game
Wide Receiver
  • Cam Coleman: Undisputed WR1; elite contested catches, body control, hands; draws heavy safety help → opens Ryan Wingo & Emmitt Mosley
  • Potential nation’s top-3 WR trio (Coleman-Wingo-Mosley) when healthy
  • Emmitt Mosley: Most underrated; all-around reliable (routes, YAC, blocking); could lead team in receptions if healthy
Linebackers
  • Rasheem Biles (Pitt): Freak athlete; strong edge pass rush from second level, solid coverage; pairs well with Ty Anthony Smith
  • Justin Cryer: Coverage specialist; green-dot/MLB candidate
  • Marcus Boswell: Local developmental; mostly special teams in 2026, compete 2027+
  • Room thin post-Anthony Hill departures; heavy youth reliance (e.g., Tyler Atkinson)
Cornerbacks
  • Bo Ma
