Why not take Udoh (6'-5"- 360#) He would be hard NOT to ignore. He's a sophomore now?
protects a blind-side for a left-handed QB. other big guys are on the OL too!

I watched the media day coverage. I thought both John Silas and Connor Christiansen did very well. They seemed to be prepared and did a good job representing Elon.

You see where Maine got a first place vote, yet 9th in conf. Either someone is smoking crack or knows something no one else does. They do luck out not having to play W&M and JMU but not enough for a number 1 pick

Sorry - hit wrong button...was trying to reply to retiredphoenix' post...I find that once again I find optimism for the upcoming season. Do I expect to go undefeated? Probably not...but am I hopeful for a good season? Yes. I choose not to dwell on pres-season rankings...but rather to consider each new season is a clean slate. I do hope we surprise some people. I'm grateful we are not starting off the season this year with an ACC game and looking forward to the new season...although gotta admit it's hard for me to even think about sitting in a football stadium with the current heatwave.

xfc,
I think there's a lot to be optimistic about. Young offense is a year older without major losses. Defense should be fairly stout but a couple departures could hurt. Still, far better as a team entering this season than a year ago, I think.

Looks like the football helmets will have an "E" on them instead if the phoenix.

I LOVE the E helmet!
Here's to another step in the development of the program. Hoping for at least one upset.

I would be surprised if we finished as low as 10th. There were quite a few CAA fans of AGS that were surprised with how well the team progressed through last season. I remember one Townson fan even go as far as to say "Elon ended up having a solid team." It looked like the season was really lost following a 51-0 loss to JMU, but they pulled it together and played 3 games of the last 4 pretty well.
I'd say we'll finish 6-8, maybe higher if they pull an upset.
