My guess is that they try to redshirt him this year to put on the necessary weight to hopefully start at center next year. One, unless he got in tonight (would be 2) 1 Quote Link to comment

I don’t disagree, but Jurgens isn’t at LB right now. Jurgens as the anchor of the line for 3-4 years is also very appealing. Frost is beginning to realize how important the center is in his offense. Conrad sucked and Farmer is only serviceable. 2 Quote Link to comment

He even won Big 8 Offensive Player of the Year. You might have heard of him, guy by the name of Rimington. Did Dave start out as a TE/LB? I don't know the answer and it's hard to compare what is needed for Frost's offense compared to an 80's TO offense, just wondering if you knew. Wisconsin does similar things. Some of their best guards and tackles weren't those positions when recruited. When I heard them talking about this, my first thought was the team had turned Frost into: Quote Link to comment
Making Chimichangas Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I kinda hope Frost was joking about moving Jurgens to OC. Quote Link to comment

StPaulHusker Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 It used to be your most athletic OL played tackle. Coaches must feel pretty confident in who we have or are getting to make Jurgens a center Quote Link to comment

Center requires a particular amount of flexibility and football acumen. I wonder how cerebral he is about the game (true question not an accusation)? 2 Quote Link to comment

I think he could be a solid center because he is really strong and athletic. He’s listed at 270 now. Not much further to go Quote Link to comment

Jurgens at 6'3" doesn't quite fit that mold. But, he could be a great center. Quote Link to comment
gobiggergoredder Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 This would be a great move. He’s a freak athlete and it would be awesome to build the future around him. He may make a fortune in the NFL if this pans out. Quote Link to comment

I guess the line coaches won out. I think it is a good move as long as he is on board with it. Lord knows we need help there and next year is going to be worse due to graduation. Benning has been alluding to him as a tackle for over a year, mentioning his frame could easily convert to an athletic OL. Was a little surprised to hear Center but not about moving him to OL Quote Link to comment
