Who will have the most impact - short term/long term?

[heightsgriz]

After looking at the signing list I think we got a lot of value and some real stars here. My question: Who do you think will be the biggest star/most impactful in the next two seasons? How about 3 and 4 seasons from now?
I've got:

Short term - Dylan Mayginnes. Whoever gets the QB job will need a ton of help up front. Fingers crossed I hope Dylan will be the stud the Griz need on the line.
Second choice - Sawyer Racanelli. If our QB is still standing after 2.8 seconds He'll be able to pick out Sawyer uncovered along the sideline repeatedly.

Long term - Jereb Ramos might never produce MVP type stats due to the position he will play but hopefully he will consistently wreak havoc on opposing O-lines for 3 years or more.
Second choice - Kaden Huot. Hoping he's a three year starter and Payton winner. You gotta have hope!

I will be fun to dig this thread up in 4 years.

Short Term- Dylan Mayginnes

Long Term- Zac Crews / Tyson Rostad

Short term: Johnson. He’s not coming here to back anybody up. He’s exactly what we’ve needed.

Long Term: Ramos. He’s also exactly what we’ve needed on the DL. An absolute beast.

 

[I.M.O.#90-C.C.]

If Johnson can stay healthy….short term I hope it is him. We need consistent above average QB play that can make plays in various ways to help open up our run game.

MayGinnes will be a redshirt freshman. Not sure why all think he will dominate that young. That is tough for an Olineman to be that impactful that young.

Hidden Gem: corner from Idaho state - Dawson - if we have 2 shut down corners…..we are gonna get some sacks/turnovers

Long term: Gillman and Genatone. Can’t wait to see how they develop.

ANd I see Genotone cut from the Herbert Gamboa mold….freaky fast for a LB and hits like a mule. Can’t wait to see that kid mature and get on the field.
