Since 2005, the Bulldogs have started 7, 9, 7, 8, 10, 12, 12, 6, 7, 5, 7, 7, 4, 3, 2, 5, 2, 2, 4, 3 and 4. They are projected to start 4 in 2026.


Players to look out for include QBs Jayden Mandal and Deagan Rose (both 3 star QBs), TE Jake Appleget, C Ben Baker, RT Kyson Van Vugt, DE Dylan Hampsten, DL Maverick Noonan, DT Logan Goodspeed, LB Logan Studt, DB Jaden Carrillo

Offense
TE Brock Lium
LT Brayden Walton -- was impact starter as a freshman, soph could be a future star? height (6'8") not ideal; too tall?

Defense
FS Ethan Tierney
SS Ryan Wilson

WOW Leonardfan! 2 White Safeties!! Would be nice to have a few also on the Front 7 too...
Athlon's doesn't even list Ryan Wilson on the 2 Deep...but i added him to the 2026 DB thread anyway

Sounds good referendum! Appreciate your contributions...sometimes we have to double check names just to make sure lol

Not sure if this redshirt Freshman RB is White??

White safeties is always nice and unfortunately far too rare.

Looking at Gillick, I'd assume quadroon or octoroon based on his look and home of Seattle. If I saw this guy approaching me on the street, my "Spidey senses" would be tingling to keep my guard up.
 
Twenty-Two, I did that Fresno write up, jointly with Leonardfan. When I check out the Bulldogs roster, my immediate reaction was Gillick was a light skinned mulatto (facial features, first name "Julius"), so I did not count him. Plus, he seemed sort of irrelevant, player wise. Upon closer inspection, he's surprisingly light skinned, if this odd pairing are, in fact, his parents? That said, he's absolutely not someone I will root for.

However, the current "backup" that deserves more attention is Dylan Hampsten. He might not be listed as a starter, now...but could be a breakout star for the 'Dogs. And a potential NFL prospect, down the line?

Began his career at San Jose State, was an absolute star at Sacramento State (<link) as a sophomore and now heads to Central California -- 3rd school in 3 years. Clearly chasing the NFL?

Also, the young LT, Brayden Walton, looks like he has big time potential -- future 1st round pick? Some sites have him listed at at 6'8', some an inch or two shorter. Shorter, the better, as NFL teams tend to be weary of too-tall O-Lineman .. as really tall lineman have leverage issues when working in the trenches and are too easy to cut block or bring down in open play.

Looking at Gillick, I'd assume quadroon or octoroon based on his look and home of Seattle. If I saw this guy approaching me on the street, my "Spidey senses" would be tingling to keep my guard up.

Freethinker is absolutely right, once again. Gives off the creepy thug-wanna-be vibe! Free might be right about the Quadroon classification. Even though I posted the picture of him hugging a white "women" and dark-skinned black (David Ortiz look-a-like)....

Pretty sure Gillick is White. I just did not mention him because he is buried on the depth chart. In doing a bit of research he looks to be one of those lost White youths that decided to associate with or assimilate into the black mentality.

LF, you appear to be correct, as you typically are! I was thrown off by his Fresno photo with shaved head and "gangsta sneer". With some AI assisted research I've discovered a few things.

1. These are his parents from an article about his HS career. They are likely shitlibs, as they raised their family in "inner city" Seattle until the violence became too bad and they had to flee to Huntington Beach, CA (one of the few White areas left in SoCal?).

2. The jersey he's wearing is in honor of his dead Seattle homeboy. His parents made the right decision, even if many years too late, to flee before this "aspiring rapper" was murdered.

3. His ghetto upbringing might be too deeply in-grained at this point for this young man to be helped. Here's the cover photo from his X profile where he's hanging out in Wakanda with his homies.

He's probably something like Travis Kelce who was from a majority Black area and comes off as a wigger type. Gillick is an Irish surname but that doesn't mean much these days...

Kelce was from very "diverse" Cleveland Heights, Ohio, which is barely majority White, about 40% black, and the rest Asians, Polys and hispanics. His parents both had very good jobs, so doesn't exactly sound like he was from "da ghetto." His brother Jason comes across as a Joe Sixpack type, so who knows where Travis got his personality, which undeniably has served him very well in the NFL.
