What's the story behind this guy?  Low rating big offers.

Plays a lot DT in his highlights. Is that the side of the ball we are recruiting him for?

Why is Nebraska upside-down on his shirt?!?!   :laughpound

I'm sure it will be right side up when he gets to Lincoln.  Just excited to actually ink a (much needed) O-lineman.

only an 84 OVR. I mean I guess thats obviously really good for a Freshman on NCAA.

He's either laser focused on the NFL or figures he can grad transfer, I don't remember hearing any other kids say "for the next 3 to 4 years" in their commitment lol. I think there have been some highly rated guys specifically say 3 years? In any case we need OL!

I'm going to throw out a guess that the Bama offer at least was not committable, but the fact that he was somewhere on their board says something positive. I know nothing about evaluating OL so trusting the coaches - I like the NJ pipeline we're building.

OG. 

Interesting....based on his film and his size, he looks much more suited to be a 3-Technique DL where he's trying to penetrate and shoot the gap (as opposed to stand up and occupy his blocker)

On the OL, I'd be concerned about him being bull-rushed by some of very large NT's/DT's he will face.

As with all things, time will tell.  Good luck to the young man.

Give him a year & he will be 300.

Give him a year & he will be 300.

I agree with you that he can get to 300....I'm just worried about addition of that mass onto a smaller frame and the resulting loss of the burst that is clearly apparent at 270.

Fingers crossed.....
