Here is a photo of the Star position group for this fall... the "Star" is the fourth defensive lineman in Nick Howell's scheme who typically rushes the passer from a standing position.
L to R: G.A. Josh Smith; walk-on Daniel Gaw; early enrollee Jailen Ruth; junior Miles Capers; sophomore B.J. Diakite; sixth-year senior Alex Brown; Stanford graduate transfer Aeneas DiCosmo; Stars coach Jovan Haye.
Capers is coming off a devastating injury from last year; neither he nor Diakite played in the spring game. DiCosmo started at the position, with Brown and Ruth getting playing time; but hopefully, Capers and Diakite will be ready to go again by fall.
The group will also be augmented this fall by the addition of signee Evan Herrmann. Callahan Blair is committed to joining the group in 2024, so the future is bright at this position.
Reaching for the Stars
