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

Fresno State with the rare two white guys named Jayden/Jaden on the depth chart.

LOL I noticed to that too. Any variation of jayden/ayden/kaiden/aiden is 95% mulatto or black. Long time since we have heard from you!
 
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.
 
I’ve never seen a black Aiden or Kayden.
Ayden Hector ....was stoked thinking a "White Cornerback"

He plays for Colorado State now; will be 25 next month ...hard to keep up all the transferring ...was @ Wazzu ...didn't realize he was a Walk-on ...so really figured he'd be white

Maybe Leonardfan can help out lol

But i think CF calls it "Quadroon"....players like Evan Hull; Vic Wharton ; Ashtyn Davis fall into this category
 
Quadroon simply means 1/4 black -- one black grand parent. Octaroon means 1/8 -- one black grandparent. I still believe the Fresno RB in this thread (Gillick) is one of the two......

First time I ever heard these terms were from perverted radio Lonsman Howard Stern, who, ironically, introduced me to the term "Lonsman" Looking at the photo above, my guess is Hector is neither black or fully White. Hull, Wharton and Davis absolutely fall into that category of mixed-blacks. Davis admitted his grandparents left N.Y.C. (when the N.Y. Jets drafted him) for ultra--liberal Berkley, CA because they were not accepted in New York, back in America 1.0.

With Ayden Hector, I see someone of Mexican or Native American decent. He has a non-black hairline and straight hair at the roots, not kinky at all (like blacks of various shades). So I doubt he's any (or significant) portion black.

Mexicans (Aztec or Mayan), like a significant percentage of jewish people, tend to have much larger lower lips/coupled with smaller upper lips (Hector displays that trait)..... Blacks, in contrast, tend to have bigger upper and lower lips. (<link)****

By the way, looking Hector up, I see he is considered an NFL prospect by a site that his him listed as a safety -- another clue that he's not black -- slotted at safety, not cornerback? That site has 3 Whites among their top 5 safeties, although Lutmer "stacked" at safety is silly. He's a clear cut CB!

Ayden Hector's grandfather is Willie Hector, a former NFL and CFL player. Ayden's father is Zuri Hector, an ex- USC football player. His mother is white. I don't know what that makes him, except he can't be white.

There is a weird phenomenon in which actual 100% White European people are mistaken for having Native American or Mexican ancestry.

A great researcher named Jake Esposito (the name is Italian, he has blonde hair and blue eyes) has a girlfriend who has been accused of being Mexican. This would be problematic for him because his own religious beliefs are against race-mixing.

However she’s Polish. And this adds up, because in DNA ancestry subreddits, people talk about getting confused for having Native American DNA even though they have Central European ancestry.

You can even look at old images of what was considered the East Baltic race and see the women look pretty similar to native Americans.
 
Thanks Total White, I will look Jake up. I know perky Kay Adams (NFL TV betting queen), who is a 40 year old that sometimes looks (and acts) like a teenage high school cheerleader, has a distinct Southern Europe or potential Native American look. But is actually the daughter of Polish immigrants. Often mentions her dad, with the classic Polish "Chester". She might fit the type Esposito put forth? By the way, I assume Adams is an adjusted or truncated surname, as it hardly sounds Polish?

Thanks Booth. I stand corrected; you are right :thumbsup:

Honestly, I hesitated when I saw Hector's Instagram photos, as he looked a bit more blackish in those -- particularly the broad nose. But if he is, in fact, the grandson Willie Hector, he is not White. Or, more specifically, I would not consider him White. Thanks, again.

Booth, I know you love baseball. Arizona State has a rising baseball star that will look White (<link) to most DWF's. He's the son of a former MLB mulatto (Mexican/black) that played for the Mets last decade. I remember him well..... The ASU star is the grandson of this long time MLB pinch-hitter (<link),**** who is clearly black. So that's one to watch out for going forward.

Final thought. If you go on an Afro-centric board like Lipstickalley.com (<link), which is mostly for black women, they constantly fret/complain that race-mixing is terrible, because blacks are being "bleached out". That's the opposite of our concerns! In the case of Hector and the A.S.U. baseball star above, I guess the black women do have a point? Although, given the proportion of blacks in Africa (and elsewhere) to Whites worldwide, (sadly) they have little to fear!:afro:
