He's the second transfer that's been announced on twitter, but first by Furman press release.

Stephens is already listed on the online roster and indicates he'll be enrolling at Furman this semester and be at spring practice. He has Three years of eligibility left. https://furmanpaladins.com/sports/footb ... phens/5052

I think this is a good pickup for Furman.

Thinking out loud here . . .

Furman graduated 3 defensive lineman (Stokes, Lewis, Lawrence) and 2 OLB, who were our best pass rushers (Hope/McKoy). While that's a good bit of loss, fortunately each of those guys technically plays a different position.

At DT, we should be buoyed a bit by the return of Matt Sochovka. Lewis is a loss (and double loss now that he transferred to UTC), but Sochovka started the season as the starter. Furman also rotated Jack Barton and Trey Rodgers a good bit, so there's some depth there.

At DE, Lawrence was a starter for multiple seasons, but I think we have a good start at filling in for him with Xavier Stephens, Bryce Stanfield, and Jeremiah Jackson

At NG, we return Cam Coleman. Stokes played a lot of football for us and his snaps will have to go to someone - I assume primarily Seth Johnson.

The big question mark, is who can step is as pass rusher.
