OT Jon Lechner

40 times for lineman especially are really pointless.

 

What you want from your lineman are lifting stats and how good is their footwork at stuff like ladder workouts.

 

Another thing with lineman that you want is something that can't be measured, a nasty streak. Guys like Jake Gdowski, Richie Incognito, Ricky Henry are those types of guys.

Normally I would 100% agree with you that 40 times for linemen are pointless. But the difference between Baker and the rest of the guys is so large......I would say it warrants some extra excitement.

 

Sheesh, our D-Line is so bad, I hope he plays defense.

[BlackShirt D]

Damn this guy is huge for a junior!!!!

 

sophomore

haha thats one huge friggen sophmore...we have 2 freshman we have are like 6' and weigh around 210 and bench around 200+. one of my friends squat 300... no lie i spotted him. we come from a small school 8-man football but both of my friends are cousins and one of their brother is a OG for UNI. he was flat out amazing that year when he played...we won state baby...

[CowboyBob]

Rivals just put up his junior highlight reels.

 

they are worth looking at.

 

Looks to have slow feet. he could definitely benefit from jumping some rope and doing some ladder exercises.

[Eric the Red]

no NU offer yet, but I think one is coming very soon.

[DeathCultArmaggedon]

He just received a Wisconsin offer.

His Mom sent my friend Lechner's evaluation on ESPN Insider. Since it's a paysite I won't post it but will paraphrase. It said he's at 6 foot 6 and 320 pounds and is a solid division I prospect. A lot of power and able to drive double teams into the LBs. Versatile enough to play OT or OG.

Channel 6 reported last night that he officially got an offer from Nebraska.

The summary is apparently free.

Lechner is one of the most athletic big tackles in the country. He is massive at over three hundred and twenty pounds with long arms; that along with his 6 foot six frame makes him a solid Division I prospect....

 

Lechner has a bright future in college football. He's versatile enough to play tackle or guard at the collegiate level and gives great effort on the field. Should be a guy we'll see playing for a long time.

See above link for more. At least for now.

 

Note: he is on the ESPN 150 Watch List

[HSKRNOKC]

Is a verbal commit to Wisconsin.

[bbeerma2]

As a Wisconsin fan, I don't know if I can be too upset with this

[HSKRNOKC]

Good luck to him. Wish him nothing but the best.

[Ohio Pete]

Good luck to him. Wish him nothing but the best.

Yes good luck.

 

Do you think NU slow played him waiting for better candidates or did he just really like Wisconsin better?

[HSKRNOKC]

Both

[Hunter94]

we damn sure had our chance. to lose a home state kid without recruiting him hard is no one's fault but ours. we didn't see his potential or we saw other talent, either way it could come back to bite us in the ass.
