Potential is there.

Potential? He’s 24 or 25 years old.

Left tackle, #77. Only a couple of snaps before he got carted off:

Hell yeah! This is just an awesome surprise at this point. I mean to get a likely starting OT from the portal during the spring is awesome. That PFF passing grade is legit as a LT playing against some solid teams, and he was a first year starter.

Would think it’s pretty darn likely he will be healthy and good to go considering his injury happened game 3 and it was a kneecap dislocation which I don’t think takes all that long to heal typically, after a quick search. But I’m sure there are different expected timeframes due to severity.

This makes me feel much better about the OL group. Was really thinking we should have added a OT from the portal and then Fran comes through clutch in the 9th inning. Love it.

You should become a coach

Maybe Joe Cruz at OG and Hawn C.

Cruz is likely playing center with Hawn manning the position after.

One of rice or Pringle. I forget which one is the better one.

sixth or seventh year LT sounds pretty good to me.

Wish he had 8 or 9 years experience but I’ll take it

 

[AngryOtto]

I like the pickup but I think it’s way too early to pencil him in as a starter. Was injured last year and don’t know the extent of rehab. Is not on campus for spring ball. May show in May. Oline needs cohesiveness. Maybe he comes in and works his way to a starter but I think we are going to see a lot of players on the Oline step up with the new coach.

Depth is a good problem to have!

One of rice or Pringle. I forget which one is the better one.

I prefer Pringle(s) to rice, but that’s just me.

 

[upperdeck]

Never heard it discussed but you would think Tackle is much more, the man on the island, and less of the cohesiveness like the interior guys. You may work with TEs but the other 3 spots always have two way works to deal with. Maybe its not any different, but it feels like it should be,

 

[SUFaninNJ]

Starter or not, it gives the new OL coach another body to work with. Unless he’s just a trash human, another viable option is not a bad thing.

Pringle I think is similar to Spoon last year. Probably has size to play tackle but if he doesn't have the mobility maybe he's best suited inside.

Agreed.

Although it looked like he lost a bunch of weight when spring practice kicked off if I'm not mistaken, so maybe his mobility will be better?

 

[CuseFan]

Very glad to have some experienced depth, especially at OT. Could be the starter in the fall.

Interesting on Cruz at Center. Didn’t know he was staying there with the others available. We have lot of options there with Hawn and Stewart.

I felt like Stewart could be one of the better players for us for the future, but if Hawn is the future there, does hat means he would play more OG?

I assume the other starter at OG would be Pringle then over Rice as he played quite a bit more than Rice in 2025 and even got a start.
