He had surgery on it in April and was ex- pected to return for summer workouts … In pass-rushing situ- ations, a 4-3 look could have Shembo and Williams as the ends … Dog is often the wild card position because against spread or option teams, that is where safety Jamoris Slaughter aligns to provide speed and coverage skills along the flanks.

Jr./2 Notes: The least experienced position on the team requires all hands on deck … Brown has been mentioned as a top nickel candidate by safeties coach Bob Elliot. Wt. Cl./Elig. 201 225 So./2 230 245 Sr./2 Sr./1 Sr./1 Fr./4 Notes: Tausch won the placekicking duties and has converted 15 of 18 career field goal attempts, while Turk begins a fourth season as the punter with Cowart long snapping … Brindza is the top backup at kicker and punter, and will also handle most kickoffs. Wt. Cl./Elig. 215 202 Notes: Fox and Calabrese, both of whom are eligible for a fifth season in 2013, likely will remain a tag-team duo. Wt. Cl./Elig. 200 5th/1 205 5th/1
