    I was wondering if we could get a 3 digit number for him.

    Too much. Needs to lose about 30 pounds. Expecting Banks, Lyons and Slackman to have an edge on the others given their weight going into spring. Might need Lyons to bulk up a bit more if he's going to play nose.

    Doubt McCray will remain under 290 for very long. I can easily see playing inside in another year, at least on passing downs.

    Roster is improving, although taking longer than some would like.

    Who do we have on defense who are potential all SEC?

    After 3 of UFs worst defenses in history in a row, I would change “some” to everyone.

    Slackman this year. Maybe Marshall too with a better pass rush and improved safety help.

    2025 could be 4 or 5 guys.

    This group has umproved a lot since 2022 when Dexter was the only DT ready for SEC football.

    Yes, lots of depth compared to then. I'm hoping Lyons makes another huge step forward.

    Looks like more experienced depth at DE. For DT, it looks like we have four plus big Dez as a wild card because it's unlikely Bourieu and Robinson are ready to play this season. Need to stay healthy at DT. Edge and LB play will be huge for the Defense overall.
