Practice Squad:
FB Stanley Havili – USC – 6’1, 230
WR Ronald Johnson – USC – 5’10, 185
TE Brett Brackett – Penn State – 6’5, 246
OL Dallas Reynolds – BYU – 6’4, 320
C Zane Taylor – Utah – 6’2, 309
DE Maurice Fountain – Clemson – 6’4, 270
DT Cedric Thornton – So. Arkansas – 6’4, 309
Thornton is the one player the Eagles are highest on. They think he could develop into a starter in time. Big frame and a very quick first step.
Havili will have a chance to compete for a roster spot in 2012. He is a hybrid RB/FB with excellent pass catching skills.
