I know Flater was hurt and missed a lot of last season, but with the way he played and the stats he put up the season before, I'm surprised he hasn't gotten more accolades for all MVFC and All-American pre-season status.

Most underappreciated player in years.

Led the league in tackles in '19 and was honorable mention all league. Insanity.

From what I’ve read, both Penning and Isiah Weston are being followed by NFL scouts. Didn’t realize Penning was only a JR, so he’s got a bright future.

There's lots of scouts that like Penning better than Brown because the weight isn't 'new' and the measurables are more consistent.

We've had TWO top half of the Draft picks on the OL for the last two years and still couldn't block anybody.

In another really interesting development, Brandon Keith's title is Assistant OL coach. Clanton is a great recruiter but can't coach the position at all and I'm glad they've recognized it. It'll make us, hopefully, more consistent offensively.

Our coaching split is 6 offense (Watson, Clanton, Keith, Ganz, Brookins (moved to RBs) and New Guy) and 3 defense (Johnson, Vokolek, Paup). It's actually probably a good move.
