Adding to our line early, LOVE IT!
Or the guy who committed this morning.
Key there is REDSHIRTINGGiven what we'll lose on the D-Line these next two seasons, it is important to load up. This kid needs to add size, but he's got a ton of athleticism.
Always good to see us add pass rush.
I'm guessing that this is the template we'll often follow for many of our DLine recruits -- get athletes, then "grow" them into their positions at either DT [example--Rondi] or DE [example -- Morton]. Guys like this will take 2-3 years to be ready, but with a redshirt and quality depth ahead of them, that also ensures that these guys won't be rushed onto the field to fill out the two-deep until they're ready to physically compete as third-year sophomores.
Rush DE. Has a skinny frame but plays bigger than he looks. He has two years to add 35-50 pounds. I like his athleticism and motor. On paper, this looks like a MAC level class. It is what it is until we win. Dino is securing spots now so he's not scrambling in December.
Yeah I have to see him playing in space. His film shows him with his hand in the dirt.Could see him maybe playing OLB. Will wait for staff confirmation here though.
I do like Dwyer HS

You have to keep up.Oh, Shi...! I didn't even see we had an earlier commit today. My bad.
His visit corresponded to a camp in June. He was offered before then.He was a camp offer, right?
Could be he thinks depth is enough that we can take guys who need 1-2 years of development before contributing. Maybe choosing to fight battles where he thinks we need help sooner.

Lack of height sure held back Dwight Freeney.

We can't always live in the past. The game has changed so much since then. He was a first rounder but rarely do you see his size at DE anymore.Lack of height sure held back Dwight Freeney.
