Clark is back on crutches, happened sometime after the Wisconsin game. Campbell had his shoulder surgery around Wisconsin and McLaurin must've been hurt during Bowl run-up, not sure with what ailment. If healthy, the redshirts dress. See: Collier, Slade, Hubbard, Meech, Hooker all in pads.

Campbell didn't have on a sling, so that's encouraging with regards to his injury, at least.

Did not know that until now, thanks!

All these young 'uns can catch the ball. What will put them in the elevated category of the two Devins is the ability to downfield block, carry out their routes, adapt to broken plays, and generally do the little things that don't make the stat sheets. Loved hearing the announcers dissect the play (Zeke's big runs), where Smith (or Spencer?) came in to seal off the OLB to open the running lane. Beautiful. The outlook is bright indeed. Go Bucks

You do realize that Devin Smith doesn't share the same first name as Evan Spencer, right?8D

Otherwise I agree. Downfield blocking is what separates 1st and 2nd string from the 3's & 4's in Urb's O.

The kid is a head hunter on the offensive side of the ball. It's one thing to block downfield, this kid looks to knock peoples' blocks off downfield.

And that physicality is exactly why he's going to push Michael Thomas to be the best receiver on the team next year. Just watch....he's not afraid of contact, he certainly won't back down from anyone. That's what you want in your DBs, but it's very rare in WRs as well.

I can't wait to see how the young kids perform during the spring as well. As good as Corey Smith looks, it'll be fun to see guys like Dixon and McLaurin push him, and I also wouldn't rule out Marshall moving outside as well. We're in a great predicament with the talent at WR, keep pushing one another to get better.
