Josh Curry, LB, Reno, NV: A reserve linebacker who redshirted at MSU last year. From the same high school as Conrad Burbank, Curry is expected to contribute on special teams early in his career.
Spotlight: Evaluating the future impact of new or young college football players is uncertain under any circumstance, but there are some good benchmarks. And in the mid-2000s, Bobby Daly hit them all. A notable work ethic and positive attitude? Check. Athleticism that, even in a successful Division I football program, stands out? Check. Productivity on special teams? Big-time check. Daly became a second generation team captain, First Team All-America, and finished fourth in school history in tackles.
