While we wait to see who will be part of the Jacks 2007 Recruiting Class I thought it would be interesting to look at the depth at the various positions and who may start that first game on August 30th at Western Illinois. Here is the returning players at Quarterback and Running Back.
Quarterbacks
Reed Burkhardt 6'1 205 Senior
Ryan Berry 6'2 195 Junior
Ryan Crawford 6'2 205 Sophmore
Cory Jeske 6'1 185 Redshirt Freshman
Several people referenced a possible transfer from Illinois which may be prudent if nobody in this group can step up and take the job. None of these guys saw much meaningful time in 2006 as Andy gutted it out all year.
Running Backs
Cory Koenig 5'10 205 Senior
Trevor Hohn 5'10 195 Senior
Jordan Paula 6'3 235 Sophmore
Adam Monke 5'10 190 Sophmore
Tyler Duffy 5'10 190 Redshirt Freshman
Kyle Minet 5'11 210 Redshirt Freshman
Clearly Koenig and Hohn will most likely get most of the hand offs however, I'm curious how some of the other players have performed in practice. With Paula's size and speed will he remain at running back or be more suited for a reciever or defensive back? Monke and Minet come in from small towns in Nebraska and Minnesota respectively with great numbers and credentials. Will they get an opportunity to contribute on the field this year? Koenig and Hohn are suspect to injury and one of these other guys may be asked to fill in. Not sure who the Jacks are looking at for running backs either Junior College or Freshman. We seem to be in pretty good shape here especially if Koenig can stay healthy.
