We are....better 8/2

6’6”, 280. OT ?
Probably need one because Nana won’t be able to play the position.
Solid offers list. Looks like a smart guy.
 
I would think for OL, the recruiting stars mean less than they do for other positions. You're giving a scholarship based on where you guess a player will be in 2021. So, assuming the guy's going to big enough and strong enough, intelligence, work ethic and character have to count for more than how good the guy is as a player right now. The most important thing is someone who is going to be willing to endure the pain and put in the thousands of hours in the weight room -- and THEN learn a boatload of technique for an extremely difficult position. Limegrover's judgment on this player is everything.
 
Great get for the program.

The kid fits the mold, tall and big, just the kind of player to develop into a two or three year contributor.

It does not hurt that he is smart. Schools he visited included Cal, Duke, Northwestern, and UVA.

Also has an offer from Princeton. I don't think we'll have to worry about him being an academic non-qualifier.
