Regardless we have some great OLine pickups so whether he pans out or not doesn't matterYeah hes only been playing tackle football since 9th grade so the staff will have a lot of coaching up to do. Also the way the coach mentions him it sounds like hes a tad over weight. Hes a big kid with a big frame that will prolly take a redshirt year and then 2 more years to even maybe see the field. Any chance this is a move to get in good with the coach out there to better our chances at an 09 prospect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope we have some good O-line coaching isnt any lineman coming out of highschool a bit of a "project"? garvin is by far the most polished of the new lineman coming in, but all of them will soon find out how big of a jump it is from highschool football to big time ball.

The vast majority of OL's that have singed LOI will redshirt and prolly wont see the field for a few years. The size, speed, strength, and technique they will see from collegiate DL's is too much to over come for must kids to step in and play right away, Offensive line is prolly the hardest transition of all positions IMO.

Lord knows we need talent/depth at this position. Should be a strong line when Grothe/Ford are at the top of their game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a RT, I see Popek as our future on the left side. Bit of a boom or buster IMO though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
