Some notes from Football Brainiacs:

*Have heard more high praise for Caden Sterns. It sounds like he’s competing with Brandon Jones and it’s a competition.

*Heard from additional sources that between the two freshmen, Cam Rising is standing out. One source said he throws a prettier ball than both Casey and Sam. I asked a source if Cam could legitimately take the spot from Sam and was told it’s simply too early to tell.

A couple notes of interest on the linebacker front. I’m told that the staff has been working Malcolm Roach out at OLB and McCulloch has been taking reps at MLB.

Was told that there is a belief that Roach can play, and is taking to, the OLB spot. He currently weighs around 255 lbs. So, perhaps a bit bigger than you would normally see a Jack/B LB but the man moves well.

I’m told that McCulloch will likely get reps at both MLB and OLB and is expected to play both. One person I spoke to believed McCulloch has ample athleticism and diversity of skill to handle both spots.

This seems like an obvious move to find the combination of guys that ensures the best athletes are on the field. We’ll see how the experimentation goes.

Yea Herman was bragging on him in presser. How bout Charles omenihu at 6’7 280 raising his vertical 12 inches to 37inch since herm and Yancy entered the building !! Wow... what a weight program

Increasing his vertical 12 inches!?! geez, I'm not sure I can jump 12 inches anymore. All of this improvement needs to translate to smashing opponents on the field.

Yea that’s impressive. Should watch his presser. He says a lot of weight lifting stats that are excellent. UT goin to be tougher than ever physically, just sit back and watch. I can’t wait.

Believe it. When I saw him before his senior year he looked like a full grown man and that was before McKnight got his hands on him.

 Never acknowledged the Oregon edit he posted awhile back because it didn’t align with what we had heard going around on him. If Reggie is JUCO bound due to grades like we think, then he is going to have to hustle and grind to make it back to a D1 school.

That's just nuts. Good job calling that one, guys. Hate to say it but RHM must be some kind of crazy immature, or just plain stupid, to blow it like that. Hope he grows up quick and turns it around. He could make a little money, in Canada at least.
