not until they know the play calls. yes he will play more as he gains more knowledge of the college game, not All 5* players start from day one, Epenesa is no different.
Hesse is a 3rd year starter. Brinks now backups Nelson with Matt backing up Bazata. Brinks was the backup to Hesse the last 3 seasons.
what I like there is more versatility on the DL to rotate the players. Bazata is the only SR starter on the DL and Matt will take his place.
the bad news is the team loses 3 senior LB's and 1 senior backup.
