There were rumors of an incoming commit this morning.  This would appear to be it.

This young man has an impressive offer list. Seems Rhule and company are heavily recruiting TE's. Hopefully that position becomes a huge part of the offense and we've not used the TE much of late.

Does this mean anything for Loftin/Zebert? I know Satt loves his TEs, but how many do we need? This guy looks more like a true inline TE unlike those two so I'm sure we'd still take Loftin, but for all the talk of this being a small class I didn't figure we would be taking multiple TEs and definitely not 3.

This was Dylan Rioala’s guy he wanted at TE.

Ranking does not match up with his offer list.

 

Guessing it has to do with where he plays HS ball??

It may be there some of them were only committable offers  if x,y, and z happened

Yeah, more than likely that is the case.

Much like the defensive side recruits a lot of DB body types to turn into potentially something else, the offensive side recruits a lot of TE body types. They may stay at TE or become a WR or OL or HB/FB or whatever. The staff's philosophy is all about getting good athletes and then developing them into whatever they are best at after they are here.

Now I know he's only a 3 star (little poke @Dr. Strangelove cause he hates 3* recruiting) but 40 D1 offers.. Is there an expectation of a earning 4th star? Seems there was some hype around this kid both locally and nationally. Someone above (or maybe some journalist) stated he's body ready more than most freshmen TE prospects which kind of shocked me as I've always thought soft hands and quick feet were essential TE attributes more so than height/weight ratio. How wrong am I?
