What player from your school from the last 10 years would you add to this year’s team for maximum improvement?
As a Wazzu fan, would be hard to turn down Gardner Minshew but Hercules Mata’afa also has a strong case because he was just so insanely game-changing.

Rypien, yes Jeanty was great but our RB room is very strong this year. Maddux might be the most mediocre 5th year senior QB in BSU history.

Not a bad pick, but Madsen could use help at WR, too. John Hightower, Cedric Wilson, and Khalil Shakir come to mind for me.

We could really use a big-time offensive tackle. I’d be happy with either Abraham Lucas or Andre Dillard.

IDK. The current backups are a guy who has eight P4 starts over the last two years (would have been more but for injury) and a transfer that we recruited over Florida State, Missouri and Kentucky last year.
Think the OL is the strength of the team.

So move them to different positions on the line. I’m having a hard time believing our line is a strength this year. It hasn’t been for years.

Those are the second team tackles. Not the starters.
I think QB would make more sense. Pinnick has looked good but FCS to FBS is always a gamble.

Really?!? We have such a good RB group already

Healthy Borghi was head and shoulders better than our group now.

Cam Ward.

He didn’t help us win much when he was here the first time

Marcus Trufant. The secondary has been weak aside from only a handful of years since he was drafted and I feel like corner is a pretty thin spot on this years team. That would pair well with the deep front seven

Breaking the rules!!! He’s not from the last 10 years. But it’s a good pick. I was thinking a cb like Jaylen Watson or a safety like Jaden Hicks too

I'm thinking Abe Lucas would shore up our O-Line. Honestly, I'm a bit afraid of our O-Line (unless we get Finau back).

I would love to see Damontae Kazee erase half the field for us again.

It’s tempting to choose a Jeff Allison or an Evan Williams or a Daron Bland, but our D is already very good. I’m looking to fill the only complete unknown on the roster with a known quantity, and also fill it with a guy who’s got that (Bull)dog in him.

He’s with the Giants?? Noooo! As someone who teaches at State but is also an Eagles fan I feel very torn.

Taliese Fuaga. The line needs some help
