LJ Martin
He’s clearly our best RB. He put in the work in the offseason by adding muscle, and has exceptional field vision. Get well soon LJ, we need you!

Marque Collins
His INT obviously was super impressive and pivotal to our win last week. He’s looked really good in coverage as well. Glad he’s on our team

Caleb Etienne
Credit to Coach Woods who’s clearly invested in Etienne as our LT who struggled a great deal last year. I loved seeing Coach Woods in the week 1 cut video telling Etienne to play loose and have fun. Seems like he’s playing with more heart and is much improved

Harrison Taggart
Loved seeing his motor and passion last year on the sidelines and on special times. I was worried he’d be a little undersized as a starting backer, but he’s played super great and is a tackling machine

Isaiah Glasker
All I’ve heard the last two offseasons was how good Glasker was going to be. I didn’t put much stock in it, but he really balled out at SMU, especially getting penetration and playing really physical

Mata’ava Ta’ase
He’s our most trusted TE at the moment and is our best blocking TE. Now he’s catching TDs and 1st down passes? Every team needs a “mr reliable” that isn’t flashy, but will do his job. Glad he’s on our team

There’s others that I’m excited about their future for us: Ephraim Asiata, Therian Alexander, Ryner Swanson, and Raider Damuni

Want to see more consistency moving the ball this weekend & minimize the turnovers. I think this team can get to 8 wins this year. Go Cougs!
