Class of 2016 OT Sam Heckel (WI) SIGNED LOI

[orange79]

He just started following two more SU coaches. I think we're going to be pretty happy with the choice.

That University of Syracuse is getting one heck of a class.

Nice. Big fan of Heckel.

Would have liked finding a way to bring in Chase Behrndt as well, but looks like this is it or the OL. And probably for the best, I can't imagine how the spelling on his jersey would have gone.

So if the kid gets an offer do we have Heckel and Jekel(ish)

That would be something to crow about.

BTW, looking at the picture of him standing next to Coach Adams...he is a legit 6'5". Really nice pickup...hope UW doesn't call late like they did with the Bzytwudswahl kid last year.

Yep. He's a large young man. I know that our OL guys are relatively under the radar (Heckel isn't, but DeGeorge and Brouse were) but I really, really like the combination of size/athleticism they offer. DeGeorge has begun picking up steam in terms of national rankings, but all three of our guys are very similar - 6-5, 265ish but carrying the weight very well. Good frames, not sloppy weight.

Was about to post the same thing. These guys are BIG--they have the frames to easily add more weight without losing their mobility / athleticism--that's what I like about these three.

No doubt in my mind that they'll all be at 295 or so after two years in a collegiate S&C program, and they'll carry that weight well. We're starting to get some BIG offensive linemen; good to see.

Yep. Agree completely. DeGeorge in particular I think is potentially our next Hickey in terms of being a workout warrior.

I'm greedy...wanna add Chase B. Chase looks like he could play on D too...

#insurancepolicy.

Much easier to grab a 3 star DB/WR/Hybrid late...than an athletic Lineman

I'm just gonna say what we're all thinking: I really hope that Wisconsin doesn't come sniffing around.
