KEY PLAYERS
ATH Arik Gilbert (6-5, 260, Sr.) — 5-star athlete is an opposing coach's worst nightmare. Can line up all over the field and is usually the best player on the field no matter the opponent.
QB Harrison Bailey (6-4.5, 225, Sr.) — 2020 Tennessee commit is one of game's most talented quarterbacks.
DE BJ Ojulari (6-2.5, 220, Sr.) — Edge rusher answered a strong junior campaign with an impressive showing at the Opening earlier this summer.
S Rashad Torrence II (6-0, 195, Sr.) — 2018 eligibility issues kept the 2020 Florida commit off the field, but expect him to be a big-time factor for Blue Devil's defense in 2019 along with 3-star cornerback
Dawson Ellington.
OL Jake Wray (6-5, 290, Sr.) — One of best offensive lineman from the Peach State, expect 2020 Colorado commit to open plenty of holes for 3-star running back
Kimani Vidal.
