He’s gonna have to give them snaps

Hayes out for season. Silver starts but who is backup now?

Kendrick Gilbert and Tavion Gadson are both ahead of him on the depth chart. He will see some early snaps to see what he's capable of, but I doubt he is in the full rotation early, barring injuries. Hopefully he has the agility and stamina to earn his way on, but I would be surprised if a Juco guy supplants 2 redshirt freshman who've been in the system a year already.

His size makes him much more playable than the other two you mentioned.

15 snaps a game on would be a great outcome from DJ.

His weight gives him advantage, all else being equal, but he doesn't have a year of in system development which earns the coaches' trust. I posted when he committed that I if he earns 10-15 snaps a game at some point this season, then that would be a win. Hopefully he gets that in our opener, so they can determine if he's capable enough against USCjr.
