Had a couple of guys from the Lackawanna factory and another big WR from Hudson Valley CC...didn't list them as they are technically not portaling?!
Also got great news that two VERY important guys are coming back for Albany for a final run. Scotty Houseman (starting center) who went down in week 3. My guess is that with our frosh Dugery putting in a solid performance, Scotty will move to a tackle position. He's a big boy and fits the role. Also, DeSean Winston, our starting safety who broke his forearm against Marshall is coming back. He was a big loss and impacted our depth. Transferred in from Temple.
