And what are the chances that this Mac follows in the footsteps of the other M(a)c and is in the starting lineup come next season?Do we know if Uhlein will play inside or outside?
I think Mac Uhlein starts as a freshman, and Anthony Tyus will play as well. Hard to tell from highlights since they never drop the ball, but Jacob Gill seems solid too.

Somehow Tyus looks the part and will be a good complement to Porter once he gets the system in place. Replacing departing seniors is always a challenge but we have to take Fitz at his word that these people are ready. And, perhaps, we'll be able to enter the stadium next year and cheer in person...or have a cardiac event in person.Uhlein has a LOT of work to do physically to play a full season as a B1G LB. Tyus might have to play some by construct if we don't get a transfer RB, but all signs are that Porter will be a David Montgomery "bell cow" type.
Took a look the other day and the beginning of his career arc is eerily reminiscent of David Montgomery, who Ayeni coached at Iowa State. Montgomery came on strong at the end of 2016 with 56 carries for 341 yards to go with 6 catches for 64 yards receiving over the Cyclones' last three games; he then exploded for 256 carries, 1,146 yards and 11 TDs rushing with 36 catches for 296 yards receiving in 2017 and 257 carries for 1,216 yards and 13 TDs rushing with 22 catches for 157 yards in 2018. No other ISU RB had more than 39 carries in either 2017 or 2018.
By comparison, Cameron Porter went for 73 carries and 301 yards with 4 rushing TDs over our last three games plus 7 catches for 45 yards over our last three games this year.
The stage is set, table is ready Mr. Porter.
Uhlein has Will LB written all over him.

You all are forgetting Mr. Jensen.
i am also go out and say that Michael Jansey and Xander Mueller are not ready yet either. (To be starters)
Where does Grayson Mann fit in? He's actually gotten more playing time than most of who you cite.Jones, Rivers, McIntyre, Gallagher, Coleman are going to be the guys who battle it out for playing time.
