I thought the staff was all done with defensive tackles

Not gonna lie, I'm a little confused by this one as well. Even if we're not done, I thought we'd be pretty choosy. Perhaps he's better than his offer list and rating would indicate.

 

Also, read that he could also play DE. Might depend on how he continues to grow.

I think our staff is suffering from a mild case of ADD. I think we've gone a little nutty with all the offers lately. They must've forgotten we have only a handful of spots left.

6'2", 255 lbs? Size allow suggests DE, not DT, but he also does not fit the DE profile we have been recruiting either.

Quick first step with good change of direction for a big guy. Great Motor! Never hurts to recruit the heck out of the OL and DL position. Cant afford to be weak upfront.

While his numbers and stats appear a bit underwhelming, I've seen plenty of evidence this staff can uncover the raw talent to be "coached up".

Not gonna second guess their expertise.

He's not nearly as tall as what we like for a DE and not nearly heavy enough to play DT. Like I said, depends on how much he still has to grow.

Agree with this.

[Decked]

With the class already filling up why would we go out and offer a guy that is clearly a project? Seems like we could focus more on some other more ready to go DTs.

247 reported that there might have been a miscommunication and he currently does not have an offer.

Poor kid, that has to be disappointing.

Yeah, that stinks for him but makes more sense.

[HUSKER FREAK]

Maybe they want him to be a center
