Any chance we could be involved?:

If so, hope we're coming with decent NIL . Sounds like a solid p4 candidate.

I don’t see it happening, 6-8 is too tall to play guard and we already have two solid guys at tackle.

I don't think our line is anywhere near the status for the coaching staff to say "nah, we're good".

I’m more interested in a WR who can catch !

There's holes everywhere across the lineup. Let's load up anywhere and everywhere we can. Getting another top OL will make it more likely to get some better skill players and vice versa.

Long snapper is my biggest worry.

You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take but I’m guessing he’s not looking to head to UConn

I think our two tackles are at LEAST on par here.

The thing is different positions require different skill sets, it’s HIGHLY unlikely we would put effort into recruiting over our two senior tackles, who are solid.

A 6’8 guy isn’t playing center and likely won’t wana come play guard, or sit.

If an OL wants a better chance in the NFL they should definitely be willing to play various positions on OL especially our existing guys. Unless your Christian Haynes coming out of UCONN, you need to show versatility.

And even with Christian there was talk of perhaps some time at Center to show versatility to NFL scouts.

I’m sorry but 6’8 300 lb guys seldom play guard, he’s not going to come here and switch positions to prove he’s versatile, he left a starting job to go start somewhere else ideally as a pass protecting LT, a premium position.

Idk what to tell you

Our existing tackles can move to guard, no?

Think, McFly, think...

We had 6’7” guards in the past. What’s another inch?

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Would we pass on him if landing him was a possibility? No.

Is there a chance that he would consider transferring here? I really don't think there is. Penn St is losing an OT to this year's draft who is project anywhere from the #4 overall pick to the #8 overall pick. I believe that is the most logical destination but it won't be the only school with a recent track record of putting offensive linemen in the NFL that will pursue him.

UDub had one 6-8 at ROG last night.
