Think its a great fit and younger DEs seemed to have been stepping up during the season. From the looks of it McCray could become a big contributor this year.
I think moving Lanier to TE as well could help the roster as we have quite a bit of tackles that could potential play and it seems hard for him to keep on the weight for OT.

I think this move has to be made, but I'll believe it when I see it. We've seen CFB go with loyalty and seniority over potential, so it may be up to Chris where he wants to go. With this move and Lanier to TE, we could play mammoth-Becton at LT, who hopefully is not as inconsistent or soft as he appeared in garbage time (how was he the pre-season favorite?)
I was going to talk about this move opening up the possibility of Marshall playing as a true freshmen, but the more I think about it the more I realize that defensive line (and offensive line) are probably the hardest spots to come in and contribute the first year. I'd like to redshirt Marshall and get some distance between him and Gayle/Collins so he doesn't just end up starting at a Steven Friday pace.

I would be shocked if Marshall played as a freshman, but I agree with HokieJoe3 and think McCray could get a lot of playing time.
hey ...
looks like the staff just confirmed what they already knew.
It's been a good winter so far.
