2023 Class Breakdown
With five RBs in the stable… no need for an RB in this class.
When you look at this class by position, a few things stand out.
Defense
This linebacker class could be an impact group; all three are physical and athletic.
The DB class is, on paper, a coup for the DINS. Two of these DBs were prior commits, one to Holy Cross and the other to Tulsa. Look at the length of this group (6-2, 6-1, 6-0, 5-11)
This DL class is a high-motor group; you have a plugger in Hernández.

On offense
The OL group is a prototype Hendrix OL class. A lean group all appear very athletic.
TE group has impressive height; seeing how these TEs develop under Verna and Roper will be interesting.
WR group includes a slot receiver that excels in yards after catch and two long-body receivers.
QB, our lone signee, comes from Cali—I want to know his story.
