Nice list!

Free YAC. He tied for fastest 40 on the team with a low 4.4 and still they want to play the upsiders over him, because muh HS recruiting rating wuz better than yours
 
Bryce Duke actually transferred again from ODU to Utah. Hopefully he gets some carries.

Shane Porter is at Sam Houston not UTEP.

Great stuff, 22! The small but noticeable uptick in White running backs continues. Gotta root for Skattebo to have a good rookie season and that Will Shipley does well with his opportunities.
