Maybe coming to play but really a GA. Knows the new Oline coach, may be good at assisting other players in technique and leadership.

Here’s hoping it works out Kyle-style for the hoops team; a little know and played transfer from UCLA who is a BIG contributor.

He’s 6’5” 325lbs. I can tell you already that he’s a BIG contributor.

This is a very good pickup

I’d be surprised if he is starting. He’ll come here to compete. Not a bad player. Solid role player. He’s good depth to have. He’s your prototypical 2nd stringer. Where if a starter gets hurt there won’t be a huge drop off to him. Which is nice

Special teams guy and spot 2 deep. You need those guys but I was really hoping we’d see one starter added.

Exactly, were not spending a million dollars to bring Tony Bosselli reincarnate here. He's a veteran guy who will compete for a job and if he's a backup once the inevitable injury does hit he's a guy you can plug in with experience.

He's from Nigeria. I wonder if he's a late bloomer for football.

It’s very telling to me the transfer portal grade (high end 4 star) that Darrell Gill got who I think is a very good player and perhaps NFL bound. The reason is I think they prioritized retaining even better prospects in Samuels, Deslauriers, and Washington. I only wonder what the transfer portal grades would be for them.

Gill was top 25-30 overall. i highly doubt they would have been close to that.
