Shepherd 2022

Agreed, it feels likes its been a few years since we had some serious size at the DT position.

A Mike Franklin type would really benefit our defense tremendously.

I just wish there was more size up the middle, but you roll with what you got!

Yeah, I definitely have some concerns with the DL.

Shepherd got a new DL coach in to replace Ramal who went to Morgan State. Looks like he's got some great experience.

Wow! Shepherd just got even better. Hartman should add a boost to the running and return game.

I watched Hartman some as a HS senior at Musselman. To say he's a stud is an understatement. That's a feature back coming in.

Regarding the future, don't sleep on Lek Powell at QB. He's a coach's son, and he had a very, very efficient two years running a high-level, pro-style offense at Harrisburg's Bishop McDevitt. High completion rate.

[Ramhead]

Looks like he came from Lackawanna College with limited playing time. He is listed as a Freshman.

I see that former WVU recruit Dewayne Grantham is on Shepherd's roster. That should should help out the secondary a lot.

RB Blake Hartman is transferring in from Lehigh. He was the WV Gatorade player of the year in '21 at Musselman HS and holds the state record for most TDs.

Yep, should be a nice addition. Hopefully he's ok with the committee approach as Shepherd is loaded on offense again. Ronnie Brown returns along with Ty Hebron. Brown might be the scariest player in region 1 in the open field with the ball.

Really hoping that we have some beef coming in the trenches for the DT position. It's desperately needed.

Schedule is certainly favorable with 2 scrimmages ( @SCSU, BORO) followed by 3 challenging (CALU, @KUTZ, @SHIP) but winnable games before 2 more home walkovers ( LHU, MILL) then a trip to WCU. My expectation would be a likely 8-0, 7-1 at worst, setting up a trip to 1/3 Western venues for the State Game. Things are well set up for a great season and postseason.

Hey man, how has your health been? I forgot to reach out since Shep joined the league.

Man, I am doing okay. Most days are pretty good now. So, I can't complain. I have slowly started going back out to sporting events here and there.

The last one that I saw was the long snapper from NDC. And he'll be a big help. But I have missed it if any since then have come in.

On a side note, I may be able to make a trip to Ram Stadium in the fall.
