Since 2005, the Cougars have started 18, 16, 15, 16, 16, 16, 14, 12, 14, 9, 9, 8, 11, 12, 12, 12, 12 and 15 whites. It looks like 10 this year.

Transfer QB Kedon Slovis takes over with JC transfer Jake Retzlaff looking like the future after him. Pretty bright at the QB position here again finally.

Offensive line has just one white starter, which really prevents this team from having some big numbers. RB Jackson McChesney medically retired, making the RB position pretty bleak. WR Chase Roberts and TE Isaac Rex are both studs, though. Also quite a few white back up WRs to keep an eye on. Good numbers on defense and nice to see two white DTs.

Offense -
QB - Kedon Slovis
FB - Masen Wake
WR - Chase Roberts
TE - Isaac Rex
LG - Connor Pay

Defense -
DE - Tyler Batty
DT - John Nelson
NT - Jackson Craven *in a battle for position
LB - Max Tooley
LB - Ben Bywater

Key back ups include QB Jake Retzlaff, WR Parker Kingston, WR Talmage Gunther, WR/PR/KR Hobbs Nyberg, TE Ethan Erickson, OL Brayden Keim, Ian Fitzgerald, and Jake Eichorn, DE Blake Mangelson, DT Josh Larsen, DT Caden Haws, and FS Talan Alfrey.

Rooting for Slovis to have a solid bounce back season. Too bad about McChesney - he had alot of promise.

What happened to Gunner Romney? Seemed to have the size, speed and big play ability to get a shot at the NFL in spite of the Caste System, but haven't seen anything mentioned about him for a while now. Injuries, Mormon mission, or just ignored by the NFL?

I believe he graduated and was just ignored by the NFL. The beat goes on.

Crazy he didn’t even get a camp invite. He had more upside than 90% of the upsiders.
