Nate is highly likely to play this season. Coach had 8 ABs ready for rotation last two seasons and right now, without freshmen, he only has 5 counting two walk-ons. Jarrett and/or T Marshall are also candidates to play. When you count the number of BBs I would not be surprised to see M Marshall moved to AB as well if L-Davis is as good as expected.

These make me aware once more how many unsung heroes we have on this team. I confess I did not even know about these two guys. For the record, does anyone know what McClellan's 40 time is? His bio suggests he may be fast.
