Ok Sportsfans, we've spent the off-season discussing the NBA and everything that Redbird Football is not. The time has come to discuss was Redbird Football IS. What it IS is an exciting group of returnees with some well-chosen transfers. No position illustrates this better than the high profile QB position - Returnee Tommy Rittenhouse vs. K. State transfer Jake Rubley. Rubley is said to have a high-major throwing arm. He'll need it. We know that Rittenhouse can tuck it and sprint down the field. Rubley will need to showcase a superior arm if he wants the job.
Lots of other position battles. Will WIU newcomer Garrett Steffen find a staring spot on the D-Line? That's not a given. I like the next wave of D-Linemen coming up. Who gets the passes that went to Cam Grandy at TE last year? Who gets the open cornerback slot? Do we have a Kicker!?
All these questions and many more coming to a Spring season near you! Practice starts March 5th, just 4 days away!!!
