I’ve got a few updates and other notes on this podcast as we await the beginning of training camp this coming week.

Here are some written notes to use for reference as you listen:


-106 players on the roster

Forgot to mention Nik Winzer enough in the OL discussion


“Air Texas”


QB from Houston

2 WR from Dallas area (Evans and Crow)

WR from SE of San Antonio (Kelly)

WR Gardoni from Missouri City (Houston area)


Let’s call the OL the “Eastern Seaboard”


Noah Jordan from Maryland

Mark Chapman from CT

James Lill from CT

Ryan Carr from Philly suburbs

Ewan Clarke from Alexandria, VA

Winzer from Matewan, NJ


Sclafani Family







When I recorded this podcast last month about the outstanding incoming class of 2030 freshmen, (arriving on campus in 2026), I was not sure if one of those stellar commits, Mike Sclafani, was the son or another relative of a Lion player by the same name who graduated in 1994.

Interesting discussion with Coach on the 4 game protocol that we use for first year players. If I understood Jon correctly, he commits to incoming players that they will not see the filed for more than 4 games to make sure that they retain a redshirt year to go elsewhere after they play their senior season for us. that way we do not lose transfers to other programs because stud players know that they do not need to play their senior seasons at other schools.

Pardon the typo-meant to say “will not see the field…”
