Looks like he can play guard or center. Interior OL.

Of course SU OL coach Dale Williams coached at Louisville before coming over to CNY so they have a pre-existing relationship.

Austin has played all three interior offensive line positions for Louisville. He split time at RG last year, and was projected to be the starting right guard for 2025. He was rated the best UL OL at pass protection.

I expect he will end up our starting center.

Glad to see us picking someone up.

 

[Symphony Steve]

We needed OL depth, especially someone who could start but, at least, will play significant snaps.

Good pickup, one we needed.

How could he simultaneously be one of the best pass blockers in the ACC but also grade out as one of the worst run blockers?
