Board notes
QB
Jameson Purcell is the 2027 pledge. Hoover is a one-year starter — the 2028 board still matters.
OL
McDermott and Jones are the tackle pledges. Brunner/Smith are veterans; the next wave has to land.
EDGE
Perez and Smith are the headline rushers. Title-defense fronts live on the next class.
DB
In-state corners plus Sharpe/Harris aging out. Harris-Dupree and Bradley are the early answers.
