If you missed it, the team social media announced the captains as Lander Barton, Logan Fano, Spencer Fano, and Jaren Kump.
Also announced the leadership council, which is the 4 captains plus Dampier, Lomu, Mokofisi, Damuni, Tao Johnson, Vimahi, Snowden, and Ritchie.
Same captains and council as for spring ball. Only difference is Landen King, who was on the council and obviously isn’t after transferring.
I was expecting to see Dampier as a captain. It seems like the QB always has a leg up in the captain-choosing because they have to be the on-the-field leader. I don’t want to read too much into that, though. Most likely, it’s just inertia, and the fact that the team chose to keep everything the same as an indication as to how good the environment has been.
Also notable, but not surprising, is that 0 offensive skill players other than Dampier are on the council. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. I am feeling good about our skill rooms right now. I think Merriweather is going to be legit.
