Great list. Lots of potential for potential on that list. Honestly, the one I am most excited for is Mohammed. You never know what kind of vision and decision making a young running back will have, but he sure seems like an incredible athlete.
Mohammed just looks to me like a stud. He looks and moves the way that very elite athletes do. As Caple says, it is pretty hard to understand why he was not more heavily recruited.
I know it is probably my Purple tinted classes (yes up to 3.5 power aging sucks) but I love the Fr, rsfr, so players whom stayed and AZ transfers. Just wish we could have convinced some Az OLinemen to come too. B Carroll was their coach and recruited them. I hate to ask why they were not able to get any. Az is 12 deep in returning OLinemen
Jayvon Parker isn't very quick. Since Armon is his identical twin brother, he won't be very quick either, right? :) Or can there be variation in identical twins.
Based upon their play in high school, Armon was regarded as the better prospect. His high school stats were absolutely better than Jayvon's stats. Jayvon became the one who got more attention fairly early at the UW, but I believe that injuries were a major part of that. Armon has been bothered by injuries almost the entire time he has been at the UW so far. If he can get to 100% physically and stay there then he might show what he did in high school, that he is the better player by comparison with Jayvon. But as we all should know, some guys just do not adapt as well as others when they get to the college level. Some guys end up being much better than their high school stats and video would seem to indicate.
I think that the defensive line group is in a relatively good place for the fall, overall. I don't feel that Armon stepping up or not will make or break that unit. I do not think that he suddenly is going to emerge as a potential major star even if he is 100% healthy. I see Bandes as being more likely to emerge as a real factor on the D-line in 2024. I also see Voi Tunuufi as a much more likely player on the Dline to step up big this season. He can play on the edge as well as on the inside - at least some.
Based on what you say, I sure hope Armon gets it going. It would also be fun to see Tunuufi come into his own. He's such a tweener, though. Not big enough to thrive inside, and not elusive enough to be on the edge. Maybe that'll change though. He showed a pretty lethal spin move a couple of times late in the season.

How about Wayne? Not sure if he's ready to contribute heavily, but he sure seems to have the physical tools.
