Since 2006, Southern Miss has had 5, 8, 5, 5, 2, 6, 6, 4, 4, 7, 6, 6, 3 , 4. Last year started 5.
This season looks to be 4...but it could be a fluid situation.
(Go back n forth between Our Lads & Athlon's )

Would have been 5 again but last year's starting QB Jack Abraham transferred to Mississippi State

Louisville transfer QB Tee Webb (Fr.) is listed on 2nd team for now ; 2nd team TE Cole Cavallo

OFFENSE
TE Grayson Gunter
LG Coker Wright

DEFENSE
LB Swayze Bowman
LB Hayes Maples

2 Deep.....LB Averie Habas (Athlons' list 1st Team w Bowman on 2nd team); went to Iowa CC from Wisconsin;
Strong Safety J.D. Rutherford 5'-9" 182 (under the radar JUCO Transfer)

Others to watch for DT Austin Todd 6'-5" 311 (JUCO transfer )

2 white starters on Defense may not seem like much. But the state of Mississippi has the highest % of blacks in the country. Compare that to teams like Central Michigan (state 75%+ white?) or West Virginia (93%?) that start no whites on Defense.

Good point about the Blue Collar Defenders starting for Southern Mississippi..They actually have more depth than I expected.
