2017 Louisiana Tech Bulldogs

[Deceptive Speed]

Since 06' Tech has started 9, 9, 7, 8, 9, 6, 6, 8, 7, 8 and 8 whites. In 2017 the Bulldogs will start 8 whites again. HC Skip Holtz Bulldog's finished 9-5 in C-USA last season. Gone is Trent Taylor to the NFL, he will be missed. Tech will start the seaon with a black quarterback. Back-up QB Westin Elliot will get his chance, he was ranked #1 Juco QB in the nation as a recruit! Don't expect any new Trent Taylor's this year, with TE Zach Cousar the only white who will catch a pass in 2017. On a positive note, they will start a 4/5 white O-Line!
Defensively, Tech look decent by caste standards, with 3 starters and good depth! LB Brandon Durman will be Tech's leader on defense. Also, DE (S0) Eric Kendzior, and DB (Fr) Kollin Hunt will see plenty of snaps, with Tech possibly starting 5 whites on D some games! Players to look out for in 2017: QB-(S0) Westin Elliot 6'5 216, OT-(Jr) Hanner Shipley 6'5 30o, OG-(Jr) Drew Kilpatrick 6'3 309, DT-(Fr) Luke Robinson 6'2 285, DE-(S0) Eric Kendzior 6'3 240, S-(Fr) Kollin Hunt 6'3 190.

Update: I've added TE (Fr) Zach Cousar as a starter, who I missed! La. Tech will now look slightly better with a white TE. Make it 8 white starters for the Bulldogs in 2017!
