Z. Fisher had been down to 230 but now back up to 244. Hope it's good weight as reports are good regarding his practice performances at LB....

Hakeem Beamon, up to 298 from 274, looks like his transition from DE to DT during his redshirt year has been quite a successful journey in the S&C program. Looking forward to his being in the DT rotation.

Norval Black up 18 lbs to 178. CJF mentioned Black redshirting in 2020 to develop a B10 body. Maybe he is ahead of schedule in that department and will play this year, especially with the free year of eligibility. Black was a long ball demon in JC....

Culpepper up 10 lbs to 291 should finally be ready to make an impact at DT.

L. Dixon up 11 to 221 should look more like a B10 LB. Lots of speed but likely still some muscle to add to be a beast LB...

D. Hardy up 10 lbs to 176. Positive comments about him from Smith. Hardy was an excellent punt returner at Penn Hills and should compete for that job going forward

A Isaac up to 251 lbs should help him, along with his experience, towards being a 3 down DE.

Joseph Johnson down from 174 to 168. I would be surprised to see him get on the field considering the depth at CB, and he will need to put on some muscle....

Kuntz - nice to see him continuing to add muscle, up to 258.

Juice Scruggs up to 298 from 281, continuing his recovery from the serious car accident injuries. Right on track to be the starting Center in 2021.

Brandon Smith up to 244. I'm looking for Smith to look alot like Parsons looked last season, but maybe a little longer....

Toney up to 251 lbs. Wow, the extra muscle, up 21 lbs, should really set him up to be a 3 down DE this season, improving his ability to hold up against run blocking.

Thorpe and Wallace both trimming down should help their quickness and performance on the OL.

M. Wilson adding 10 lbs to 176 will help him match up with B10 WR's, as he held his own real well last year for a 166 lb CB....

Levis trimming down some should make him look more like a QB rather than a LB.....

Brisker at 212 is a big Safety, and CJF had some positive comments about Brisker's physique and athletic abilities....
