NoLongerN Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 I just don't see anything special or worthy of even a 3* label here. He's got a bigness with little strength. He has slow footwork and stands up before he moves into his block. He doesn't explode into any block on his hudl film. Most everything in his film is him blocking a guy 50 pounds lighter. I can see most DE guys and their quickness skirting this guy in a pass rush. He is a run blocker of because of his size. I don't project him as a starter ever, he's just filling up a roster spot. I'd hate to have this guy on pass protection. 1 Quote Link to comment

Also, I would say his best attribute is his feet. He's an absolute take for me, and a much better prospect than Frietzche, Yaeger (who is gone), Anderson, Lynn, etc. 2 Quote Link to comment

I know you have more of the background for this stuff. I had him below those other prospects myself. Definitely not a OL Tackle ... at least for me. 1 Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted July 27, 2021 Author Share Posted July 27, 2021 Will be on campus this Friday and Saturday. Currently down to Nebraska, Missouri and Cincinnati but supposedly hearing from Ohio State and Oklahoma. Planning to take OVs this fall. Quote Link to comment
The_Fan_Man Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I like his feet, like his frame, and like his aggression. If he trusted his size and quickness a little better then he could be a little less grabby and sit down on his blocks better. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted July 28, 2021 Author Share Posted July 28, 2021 Visiting Cincinnati next Wednesday then here Thursday and Friday then Missouri Saturday and Sunday. Quote Link to comment
Decked Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 He’s N Hard for me to get excited about this one. 1 Quote Link to comment
Decked Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 FWIW: no way this guy is 305. I think 265-275. Needs a lot of work in the weight room. I know Luto is a big kid but he makes him look like a freshman in high school standing next to him. Quote Link to comment
Nebraska55fan Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Not a bad get. Lots of run clips on his Hudl film, he can pull and climb to LB fairly well, but the LBs and DEs he's blocking are pretty smallish and not terribly athletic. Likes to finish blocks off- has a bit of a nasty streak. Not enough film on his pass blocking- kick steps etc Some unrealized potential- per his doughy physique. Some meat still on the bone to be developed. Like everyone says- guard or center, not tackle. 1 Quote Link to comment

It's a small class, so to get such an underwhelming prospect at a critical spot with still a whole season to play baffles me. Oh well, no worries, its just a spot taken for two years anyways. Most of these guys move on in that time period ... and then we get to stay and hear that we are "young and inexperienced" some more and wonder why. Ha ha. Quote Link to comment

Hopefully a lot of these guys have killer senior years and show they are underrated. Quote Link to comment
Kayak Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Huskers have averaged about one reach on OL every year for a while. Unfortunately this probably isn’t the class to continue the tradition with such limited numbers Quote Link to comment

Yep, here we are again in a "hopefully". May there a day where there is a bedrock and foundation where is there is a bit more certainty. Quote Link to comment
