Camp Rantoul scrimmage

A few players who caught my eye:
* James Crawford, freshman Star. With Eric Finney out and questionable for the first game, we're searching for someone at the Star position. Crawford made a few plays that made me think he might not redshirt.
* Pat Flavin looks like a different dude. The skinny kid with long arms is gone. He's been replaced by a thick kid who looks pretty strong. I feel good about Flavin winning a starting tackle spot in 2014.
* Marchie Murdock looked pretty solid while YACing. It might just be the fact that I nominated him for my Asamoah Award (best under-recruited freshman), but he really stood out.
* Robbie Bain is probably the fourth defensive tackle behind Austin Teitsma, Jake Howe, and Teko Powell. Maybe even #3.
