Season wrap Q&A Part 2: Dawson Odums looks ahead to the 2018 season

BATON ROUGE, Louisiana -- Currently on Southern coach Dawson Odums' mind: the holes he needs to fill on his roster and his excitement for his team to go through spring practice for the first time in a long time.

The departure of a large and productive senior class will be the latest hurdle for Odums and his coaching staff to fill, and it will have to do so with limited scholarship numbers, making it even more challenging. Odums hinted at the type of players he may try to find to fill those gaps.



One thing that will ease that burden is the return of spring practice, which Odums believes will allow him to develop some players that he believes were undernourished from a training perspective because of the lack of spring drills.

Odums spoke with the Advocate about what he expects to happen over the course of the offseason.

Odums: We’ve got to get longer receivers. In 2017, we spent time trying to get slot receivers. This class will be about long, outside receivers. We’re going to go from there.
