Top 5 players to help Dylan succeed in '24 (1 Viewer)

[Tsakoi]

1: Teddy Prochazka
This guy's development will be vital in protecting our freshman phenom. And I know you all agree that we can't leave the job to Corcoran. Teddy absolutely has to step up his play and stay healthy.

2: Thomas Fidone
Our young QB will need a reliable outlet to count on. TE is the perfect friend for any QB especially one as athletic and with the catch radius that Fidone possesses. Fidone could be exactly what Dylan needs in terms of a steady option on offense.

3: Malachi Coleman
Because of the lack of quality QB play in '23 we still largely don't know what we have in MC. He obviously has the size and speed, so now he needs to mature into our go to wide out.

4: Rahmir Johnson
Dylan is gonna need a veteran RB to be able to pick up the blitzing LB and keep himself upright. Rahmir has been in CFB long enough that he should be able to produce some in the running game but also be a serviceable blocker or check down pass catcher. Experience is what Dylan needs protecting him in blitz situations.

5: Tristan Alvano
Dylan needs a reliable FG kicker to put points on the board when things sputter so as not to put pressure on our freshman QB to feel like he has to do it all himself. Give our QB the peace of mind to know that if we are in FG range that he doesn't have to force a bad throw in a 3rd & long situation knowing we can count on the 3. Kickers are a psychological boost or downer for the entire team. Tristan needs to be the boost.

 

[Minute Man]

1b needs to be Gunner Gottula. He has to be developed to the point where he’s nipping at Teddy’s heels and forcing him to be better. This is the guy protecting DR in the foreseeable future and Don has to have him ready now.

The offensive line hopefully taking the next step will be the biggest step in him succeeding.

I’m rooting for Rahmir to not be on the roster actually

 

[CornFed Gregger]

We really do need to find a dependable RB this year. A couple OL transfers would be great too

 

[NEHusker54]

Nice list. I’d throw Emmitt Johnson on there too. Showed flashes but can he be consistent and take care of the ball.

 

[Baron Winnebago]

Nice list. I’d throw Emmitt Johnson on there too. Showed flashes but can he be consistent and take care of the ball.

Yeah. Really everyone involved in the run game to let the QB work in front of the chains as much as possible

Teddy is interesting to me. IIRC he was pretty damn good his freshman year before injuries. Obviously the injuries not only affected his development but also his on-field play.

Was he hampered by injuries in the short term or was his career derailed by injuries in the long term?

 

[HuskerGarrett]

I think Malachi is about to go off. Had a buddy draft up some t shirts

 

[nja13]

Good list. I’d make Jalen Lloyd co-No. 3 with Coleman. We know Dylan like the deep bombs, Lloyd’s specialty.

 

[Mr.Bojangles]

They need Sam Sledge to step up. God honest truth when he was in 8th grade at my kids school Christmas program he was so big I thought he was a teacher.

 

[Fargo Husker]

Yeah. Really everyone involved in the run game to let the QB work in front of the chains as much as possible

This.

We need our RB running game to take a big leap forward next season with essentially 0 threat of a QB run game. Continued OL progression + Dowdell/EJ will be Dylan’s best friend.

I thought once teddy shook off the rust and was back in the starting lineup he played much better than Corc had been.

 

[Stan Raymond]

Ben Scott - Good snaps and good line calls will help any QB.
