Deuce Davis is returning.

Ta'itai Uiagaleli is returning.

Bill Norton is returning.

Genesis Smith is returning.

Tacario David is most likely returning.

Justin Flowe is returning.

Those are players I have not yet mentioned I believe.

Keyan Burnett is returning

Dorian Thomas is returning. I was surprised by this one and excited at the same time. As a freshman this last year he was quite impressive during practice. A star in the making?

Demond Williams is the only big blow, outside of Jonah.  It shouldn't affect us anyway because it's easy to find transfers during coaching transitions.  Somebody in 2025 will come along (plus Brayden Dorman has huge upside to learn under Fifita).

Any word on Keyan Burnett.  I'm hoping he can break out with this new staff and replace McLaughlan with a heavy dose of playing time.  He's talented but hasn't proven that he can be "the guy" yet.

Ok, Raymond Pulido is out of the portal and set to start at LT for us this year! HUGE News!

Lane is also returning for us. He is listed as a LB but was doing some Edge Rusher as well.

Isaiah Ward and Deuce Davis have entered the portal. My original source said Davis was solid here. He wasn't totally right on that. He has however placed a do not contact listing on his portal entrance, which means that the only contact he will get is with the schools he chooses to entertain. Is that good or bad? IDK!

Pulido is a HUGE deal!  Our entire O-Line is essentially returning with our QB and best WR (no disrespect to Cowing).

No doubt the O will rock. With a few additions on D we should be fine. The CB position worries me a bit, but with Akina back we should be fine.
