Break Out Player- off/def

[DTrain4Hawks]

Didn't see this posted so I thought I would get the ball rolling since we are under 20 days till we are back in Kinnick.

Offense- Jerminic Smith. I got the DJK vibe from him watching his recruiting but his skills seem to be what we are lacking aside from Tevaun Smith.

Defense- Miles Taylor. The head hunter we have wanted for a long time. No comparisons to Bob yet but I hope he gets there.

O: Scheel. He will come off that injury, shake off the mental effects, and catch some passes.
D: Jaleel. Coach called him violent. I grinned widely when I read that.

O - LeShun Daniels
D - Jaleel Johnson

We're due for another disruptive force on the D-Line and I really like what the coaches have had to say about Jaleel Johnson.

A healthy LeShun Daniels could be the real deal though. He's got size and decent speed but he's not just a downhill runner from what I've seen. He seems to have just enough wiggle and lateral quickness to have some big games and pull the defense in close to open up the passing game for Beathard, Tevaun Smith, and the troop of young, athletic receivers we've recently brought in.

Special teams should have been the extra category to this thread, for sure. KF needs to bring out all the cards (staying as conservative as possible, of course) . Special teams has been horrendous for the Hawks of late. Fixing this will win no less than one game this season.
Bringing in some starters should help bigtime...

I will go with the punt return: Parker. Kickoff: the starters moving to the unit. Kickoff return: King
