Mavric Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 A couple things I noticed while updating my scholarship distribution chart for next year: As of right now, we could have 18 scholarship OLinemen next year. Gaylord probably won't be back and I'm not sure about Matt Farniok either so it might only be 16. It's possible that a couple of the Juniors might look elsewhere as well. For this past year, we had 17. That's the most scholarship offensive linemen we've had since 2013 (18). Frost's first year was the low-water point with only 11. For 2021 we'll have 11 that are Freshmen! Three freshman and a sophomore started against Rutgers. If either Matt Farniok stays or Ezra Miller finds his way into the starting lineup, we could be starting four four-star recruits. Currently we have Benhart, Corcoran, Farniok, Jurgens and Miller that fit that description. I don't have any sure numbers on that but that would have to be the first time that's happened in quite some time. Incoming recruit Prochazka is a four-star as well. From my chart - as far as I know Miller hasn't earned a scholarship yet. OL LT Turner Corcoran Matthew Anderson* 18 LG Henry Lutovsky Michael Lynn* Trent Hixson* C Cameron Jurgens* RG Ethan Piper* Matt Sichterman* Matt Farniok* RT Teddy Prochazka Bryce Benhart* Christian Gaylord* Alex Conn Brant Banks* Branson Yager Jimmy Fritzsche* Will Farniok* Broc Bando* 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Atbone95 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Nice stuff (as usual), Mav. I'm pretty sure Gaylord already said he won't be back, FWIW. Edit - I guess, it isn't explicit... but tweeted his thanks to Pelini for recruiting him and Frost for coaching him, said it is an honor to say he played here... and then RT'ed his brother who tweeted "today you hang up #65" at him before the Rutgers game.

Decked Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Is Matt Anderson still not gaining weight? Haven’t heard much on Fritzsche. Lynn hasn’t popped up in a while too. I think Conn may surprise some next year. Quote Link to comment

I think Gaylord has officially “retired” from football. Quote Link to comment
I am I Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Seeing Linn in HSa dozen times, he was def a project to get his body right. Hopefully we see it, it would confirm the S&C program Quote Link to comment

But we took a big lineman class that year and with Corcoran, Piper, and Benhart looking like they are going to be entrenched starters for years it wouldn’t surprise me to see one of those guys move on either.

Toe Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 So you're saying we're still gonna have some Riley OL recruits on scholly next year? Quote Link to comment

There have been OL guys in that same class that already broke the two deep plus and he hasn't. Wasn't going to make an impact then. Doubt he could put on the weight too. The best of luck to him. 1 Quote Link to comment

Yeah, we took a couple projects (Anderson, Lynn, and Fritszche in particular) and some weren't going to work out. Also I know you can't read too much into the roster heights/weights, but Anderson came in listed at 255 and was still listed at that weight this year. Fritszche was listed at 275 as a true freshman - which I seriously doubt, he was less than that - and then 290 this year. Benhart went from 295 to 330 his redshirt year. Again I doubt those specific numbers, but coming in as low as 255 and not having any kind of change on the roster was a red flag at the start of the year. Is Lynn playing Guard? Fritzsche I know was a huge project so still willing to wait and see, but if both of them are at Tackle I wouldn't be surprised if they moved on too. I don't expect redshirt freshman/sophomore linemen to automatically be in the two deep in the future as we build depth, but the whole two deep at tackle could be their class or younger. Corcoran/Banks and Benhart/Miller? So maybe one of them can grab the #2 RT spot, but Teddy is coming for that one sooner or later. 1 Quote Link to comment

Might be younger on average but, I think it will be more talented and a better fit for what we are trying to do. 2 Quote Link to comment
