Terence Fells-Danzer could be in the mix for playing time this season as a redshirt freshman.

On paper, redshirt freshman Terence Fells-Danzer is the kind of player coaches dream about. Full of potential, fast and with quick feet, Fells-Danzer spent the better part of his redshirt year trying to convert his raw skill and athleticism into a more polished product. The 6’1″, 242-pound linebacker is still learning the position, which as JHoo pointed out in his Summer Reading series, has a “steep learning curve” under Al Groh.
