Below is a list of all the new guys who took the field for Tech for the first time -- whether true freshmen, RS freshmen, or transfers -- and a look at their stats.
Offense
TJ Vasher had his RS burned. He caught 2 passes for 9 yards (2 targets) and was also listed with 2 tackles, although I'm not sure about that.
Travis Bruffy and Bailey Smith had their RS burned and played with the second team OL for the majority of the second half.
JUCO transfer Derrick Willies had 2 catches for 47 yards on 2 targets.
RS freshmen Terence Steele and Madison Akamnonu played left and right tackle respectively.
Paul Stawarz played guard/center with the second team OL.
RS freshman Quan Shorts caught one pass for 16 yards.
RS freshman Donta Thompson was targeted downfield once and is listed with two tackles as well...
Corey Dauphine had 2 carries for 25 yards and a touchdown including a 27 yard TD run (longest run of the night for Tech).
Defense
Freshman Douglas Coleman had his RS burned. He played the majority of the game getting both first and second team reps at times. He had one tackle and 2 pass break ups.
Freshman Jordyn Brooks had his RS burned. He started at linebacker and finished the game with two tackles.
Freshman Joe Wallace had his RS burned. He played a lot throughout the whole game finishing with 2 tackles, a tackle for loss, and a QB hurry.
Freshman Brayden Stringer had his RS burned. He saw game action early and finished with one tackle.
Freshman Desmon Smith had his RS burned. He played with the second team defense at cornerback. He finished with one tackle.
Freshman John Picone had his RS burned. He saw action in the fourth quarter and finished with two tackles.
Freshman Kevin Moore had his RS burned. Moore was an ace on special teams making 3 tackles. He was seemingly always the first one down there and came ready to bring the wood.
Transfer Luke Stice saw snaps on special teams and with the second team defense. He finished with four tackles.
Transfer Kolin Hill started at defense end. He finished the night with 2 tackles, a sack, a tackle for loss, and a pass break up.
Transfer Ondre Pipkins tied for the team lead with 5 tackles. He also had a tackle for loss. SFA really had no answer for him at times. He could be seen multiple times blowing the center off the ball or garnering double/triple teams.
RS freshman Broderick Washington saw his first action as a Red Raider registering 2 tackles, a sack, a tackle for loss, and QB hurry.
RS freshman Lonzell Gilmore also got his first game action as a Red Raider with the second team defense. He had two tackles, a sack, and a tackle for loss.
