Skip Holtz just capped off his fourth year in Ruston, meaning the last of the Sonny Dykes recruits should be stepping out the door. 2017 will be his time to show us what a team of his recruits can do. 2016’s big 3 (Ryan Higgins, Trent Taylor, and Carlos Henderson) are gone, so what will Tech need for 2017?
It may surprise you, but quarterback and wide receiver don’t feel like huge needs. Backup QB J’Mar Smith almost beat Arkansas in his first college game. After a year of added experience, plus presumably getting the first-string reps all offseason, he should only be better next year.
