They brought in a kid from Ohio a couple years ago to be a SSDM. He didn’t pan out, but it happens.This seems like a recent trend that corresponds with the increased specialization in the game, but it's interesting to see the trend of bringing in SSDM recruits specifically. Trujillo and now Pels. Don't recall any prior high school commits with that specialization and oftentimes it's 2-way high school middies or sometimes even offensive minded middies that end up getting converted over. Given our challenges in this department the last few years and criticality of the position, always like to see them bringing these guys in.
