Agree, both of these young men played well.

Re: Hanging on for 26
As a general rule, I see FCS players are hungry to prove themselves. Then there are the P5 players who couldn’t crack the two-deep for some reason. The G6 players who enter the portal are ones who run into the same issues once they get here, as they’re already on our competitive level. There are exceptions, but the portal players a step up, and especially a step down, have the chip on their shoulder.

Re: Hanging on for 26
A lot of people like to trash the “SEC rejects” slogan as if Cummings, Porter, Mbake, Dozier, Hasz, and Dubinion weren’t key players on this team. You have to find talent everywhere, including P4, FCS, JUCO and D2.
A glimmer of hope for 2026 is that the staff gets a full offseason. There will be no more excuses in 2026.
