What a coup!! Get us Robbins and man, I am ecstatic. Have to think this eliminates us from DeBose, but I am A-OK with that with Roundtree in the fold. Great job staff!!

It's all about what position he plays and his ability to make an impact this fall. This was a big time get.

Pate and Woods can be red shirted and moved to DT.

Legitimate P5 D-Lineman are not easily won, from FL which is a great source of talent, and possibly ready early. Building talent in the trenches was very important, and we really needed DEs. As has been mentioned, Pate projects as a possible future DT, Roundtree is a DE through and through. Plus, he was all but wrapped up for IU and we closed anyway.
