Toledo transfer Carlos Hazelwood is poised to anchor the defensive line, ready to step in if starters falter. Redshirt freshman Cal Thrush has transformed physically and is emerging as a pass-rushing threat, while freshman tight end Edward Whiting, overlooked in recruiting rankings, shows promise with offers from major programs.
