Do you think we can hold on to all 3 of them during transfer portal?  There not getting a lot of snaps.

They are true freshman. They should stick around. 

Yeah, I have a feeling there will be a huge effort to retain a lot of defensive players while adding key players at positions (at least one experienced LB comes to mind and maybe a S. Just off the top of my head anyway). 

I would've liked to see them get a bit more run to build depth but perhaps it's a trust thing? 

I'm not throwing shade or anything of the sort on Tyler Atkinson. But Okpala and Cummings are likely priorities IMO.

Portal retention is gonna matter more than a few extra garbage-time snaps. An experienced LB addition could help, but keeping that young depth intact is the bigger win.

You thinking Atkinson doesn't fit what Muschamp wants at LB? 

Atkinson seems to be more aligned as a player to TyAnthony Smith where he makes plays in space and requires more freedom to improvise as opposed to being a scheme based LB that fits in a specific role/responsibility under Muschamp's defense.  He plays more like a "turn him loose and let him attack the ball" guy IMO.  Just what I am thinking.  Nothing against Atkinson as I like that style generally as those players make a ton of big plays, but also know that gap risk has consequences too.  I hope we can make it work with Tyler.
