    Position changes for next year...

    These are worth considering:

    McKnight to rb
    Woodall to lb
    Belton to rb
    Roberson to safety
    Holly to DE
    Have you considered those Dogs?

    Been thinking the same thing about McKnight. He’s a better runner than receiver and we’re thin at RB next year.

    McKnight was a RB in HS (and a pretty good one at that!). He gained 20+ pounds during the offseason (per his own comments on one of the first fall practice videos). That hampered his effectiveness getting separation as a WR.

    Belton was also a prolific runner in high school.
    Holly could get as big as Canty, and he's strong as an ox.
    Aaron could help us more at safety, especially with Kitchen coming back.
    Woodall is about the same size as Tony Johnson, and has a mean streak.

    Was Belton's injury a knee?

    Yes, RB would put a lot of miles on a knee that has been repaired a couple of times I think.

    Pretty sure it was one knee his Jr. year and the other knee his Sr. year. Holtz allowed him to walk on, but never considered him at QB. He might get on the field at receiver one day, but it's very doubtful he ever plays at a RB. Pretty sure he will graduate soon and I expect him to move on with this life.

    . I was wondering why he did not get a few touches when Craft went down- Boston did great but you always worry if he gets hurt

    Belton wasn’t a walk-on. He was part of our 2016 signing class. He’s been here less than two years so he’s doing well if he’s about to graduate.

    Okay, believe what you like. He was given a scholarship later. He was a gray shirt in 2016. It is not unusual for WM students to graduate in 3 years.

    It was a torn ACL his soph and jr year in high school. He broke his ankle his senior year.

    That may be right. A gray shirt is basically saying you’re going to go on scholarship next year. It’s not a walk-on.

    He's had some unfortunate breaks, but I think Belton's premium value is his ability to run the ball. He's a big kid, and he's fast. Of course at QB he had the ball in his hands every play and did plenty of running in West Monroe's system. I don't see him being able to contribute much at receiver. What about linebacker?

    No. Why would he play a postion and side of the ball he has never played?

    Heck I dunno! I just saw some former qb won a "Herbie" as a LB for Iowa State.
