Draft Eligible
OG Jordan Spasojevic-Moko - University of North Carolina at Charlotte (2024) / Texas A&M University (2021-23)
Citizenship: Australia
Height: 6060e | Weight: 325e
Career Stats: 19 GP
Notable Player Awards: N/A
Background/Player Snapshot: Former rugby player from Brisbane, Australia. Big, broad, and physical left guard with deficient movement skills. Nasty player who uses his size and strength to impose on defenders in the pass and run game. Big hands allow him to latch well. Poor foot speed causes him to not be able to keep up with the hands. This leads to him getting his half man attacked and lunging. Despite good strength he is unable to use it consistently due to poor aim points and losing the leverage battle. His balance is below average and his conditioning is deficient. He lacks awareness in pass protection.

Draft Eligible
OLB/CB/SAF/PT Ryan Barthelson - Western University (2023-2024) / Simon Fraser University (2022-23)
Citizenship: Australia
Height: 6010e | Weight: 187e
2024 Stats: 11 GP | 62 TOT | 39 SOLO | 23 AST | 1 TFL | 3 INT | 3 PBU | 1 FF | 1 BLKD
Notable Player Awards: N/A
Background/Player Snapshot: Transferred over to the Western Mustangs in 2023, as the Simon Fraser University football program was in limbo. Converted to OLB from CB/SAF last season. Played in that role with SFU in the past. Shows nice key and diagnose skills to stay patient as he locates the ball. Has enough strength and hand usage to fend off blockers and keep distance. Flows to the ball and often strikes low with some force. Can survive covering Slots, with enough mobility to hang in the short areas. Shows nice closing speed to come and break passes up. A little stiff hipped against shifty movers. Undersized, so he can get walled-off against bigger blockers. Overall, a positionally versatile, but undersized player that can functionally contribute in many ways.
