On the Dave Clawson show he mentioned that the following freshman will play: Ja'sir Taylor (Corner), Coby Davis (Safety), Sean Maginn (OL), and Jake Simpson (LB.
Those on 'red alert': DJ Taylor (LB), Sage Surrat (WR), Christian Beal (RB), and Tyriq Hardimon (Safety).
The starting oh-line is: Herron, Haynes, Anderson, Osterhage, and Benzinger. Nash, Gilliam, and Terry will play. Further, Watson has looked good.
He mentioned that the Tight End position looks really good in the future without Serigne. Mentioning Cole, Freudenthal, and Chapman.
Good summary from DeacsorDie. Some other notes:
Kickoff duties will go to either Weaver or Maggio. Still being decided.
This is the largest walk-on class that Clawson has taken. Maybe 10ish new players.
Benzinger winning the RT spot was probably the biggest news. Nash might see some time at RT. Gilliam could see some time at OG. Made him sound like the top reserve OL overall. I agree with DeacsorDie that Watson sounds like he is 9th in the pecking order (behind the 5 starters, plus Gilliam, Nash and Terry). He said that Maginn was the freshman that was most physically ready to play so they are pulling his redshirt, but then Clawson didn't include him in the list of OLs that could see playing time. It was puzzling.
The team has stayed relatively healthy throughout camp. I think that Terry may miss some time though.
He mentioned Coby Davis as a safety. I wasn't aware of that. So Ja'Sir Taylor is the only cornerback in the 2017 class.
