I certainly agree that it is unusual for a Freshman to start. We often don't bring in OT's that have enough size when they initially get to campus. This is a kid we recruited with exceptional athletic ability and movement skills for an OL that was a little slight on weight initially. But now he appears he has begun to develop his body more and gotten up to 290 lbs by January or so. Looking at his type of frame i'm guessing it isn't much bad weight. You certainly need to be strong at Tackle but its not quite like the inside.  Athletic ability is huge out there on the edge.  Just viewing that one play on post 111 shows you how explosive this kid can be.  He has until the fall to keep improving his strength to be able to withstand a big man bull rush. If he can improve upon that further and learn the plays this kid may be ready to start sometime in 2021.  Agreed that it doesn't happen often with Freshman, but Bergeron did it.  This kid may be one of those exceptions. I'm betting Dino isn't going to be conservative with reserving redshirts at this point. If he shows he can be the better option he'll certainly play.  This kid is going to be lights out in pass pro, pulling plays and the screen game.
