Who is Kelly Johnson?
Walk-on from SC of all places.
Yes, Kelly Johnson is a surprise. I would have thought either Jones or Calloway would be above him. To be truthful, I didn’t know who he was until the depth chart came out.
I suspect Fulton is the third DB in the rotation?
It’s going to be really interesting to see what WRs step up this year.
they say he showed out on special teams #31 last yr – vaguely rings a bell
FEAR THE TIDE
Evidently they aren’t letting the BEST Kicker play. No way either of those guys beat out Frosh Adam Griffith!! Looks like a redshirt which I figured.

10-12 of the 3rd string would start or be heavily relied on for the Barn. Maybe more. I see one 5-star and 16 4-stars among the next best 29 players. This unheard of depth.* denotes 4-star. Eddie Williams is the 5-star.
