lo country Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 26 minutes ago, ColoradoHusk said: Going off the guys that the staff is recruiting, they like a big, tall OT. Jurgens at 6'3" doesn't quite fit that mold. But, he could be a great center. In the presser Frost mentioned their OL going 6'6 and 310 across the board and that we don't look like them. I agree that Frost has a certain size they are looking for. Quote Link to comment

Was a little surprised to hear Center but not about moving him to OL If Jurgens is holding his own as scout team OT, I am sure the coaches are probably thinking "This guy can make his biggest impact as an o-linemen, but he doesn't have the size we like for tackle. We have seen how much our offense struggles with poor center play, let's make Jurgens a center." 2 Quote Link to comment

Barry and Honas will be ahead of him. Maybe to start the season, but 7 and 3 aren’t exactly tackling machines at this point. I can see Henrich passing one of them before the end of the season because of his football IQ and tackling ability. Just my opinion. Quote Link to comment

This gives Jurgens a year to get big and get familiar with the position as well as play backup minutes. Where does this staff see Will Farniok since he was recruited as a center? @teachercd has a clutch source lol. I can’t see Frost wasting two years of Jurgens ‘ eligibility. He’s just too talented to do that. Quote Link to comment
SouthLincoln Husker Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Agreed, frost & staff is looking for quicker linemen. I would not be surprised to see jurgens playing at 280 to 285 lbs. Quote Link to comment

You have no idea if this is the case. The coaches have been talking about moving him since August or earlier because he keeps growing. He’s probably even bigger now. 1 Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I have no problem with this. We need athletic linemen. 2 Quote Link to comment

That's why it's called "speculation". Quote Link to comment

I'm not speculating on whether it will work or not. You are saying flat out it will work as well as Baker Steinkuhler at DT, which is often cited as being a bad decision because OLine was said to have been his natural place. You're saying it's a bad decision, even though you have no idea whether it will work. I'm waiting to see what happens, because I have no idea whether it will work. 5 Quote Link to comment
