Wasn't too impressed.  His stance doesn't allow him to really explode and get behind his weight.  He also dictates exactly where he is looking to block.  Didn't really see much of his pass blocking.  Meow a bit here.  I'll pass.

Looks like a project but he has the frame.

I must have watched a different film.  He finishes blocks and puts his guys on the ground.  He pulled on a couple plays and actually put his guy on the ground 10 yards down field.  His pass blocking does need some help but his run blocking looks great.

Looks like a better OT prospect than Bleich to me. Not to mention if you've watched the lack of aggressiveness out of our OL these last few years you'd think you'd like his film.

 

If you were a fan of Chris Walker's offer last year, you'll probably approve of this one as well.

Ya, we have different takes.  That's okay.  For me, I have no professional or football experience.  Just going off the eye.  Some of his best blocks seem to be when the other player had their backs already turned going the direction of the block.

Thanks for balancing out my thoughts.

Looks good to me.He has size. Are they going after anyone else ?

Good Frame, so bring him in and coach him up!

That will be the key.  I really like the last couple classes of OL we have brought in, we just have to coach and develop them.  Under Cav's watch our linemen never improved and the backups were just as effective as 5 starters we had to keep on the field the whole game.  Nick Gates at one time was a highly regarded talent that showed much potential, and he has regressed.  Cant wait to see what a new OL coach can do with this group.

Miss st picked up a couple CBs for this young man.

Visited Northwestern earlier this month.  Considering visits to Nebraska, Arkansas and Mississippi State.

You don't want to go to Northwestern, Arkansas or Miss St.  You want to be a star at Nebraska!

Supposedly we've backed-off here, must be feeling good about other prospects.
