Competition above all.

Let the best players play.

Yep. But at the least, you need damn good walk-ons for your 3s and 4s to give a great look in practice. You also need those guys to uplift the culture through their attitude and work effort. From there, you hope you find 1 or 2 guys who can be awarded a scholarship every year.

 

[manhattanbuff]

Dude...this isn't the Coach Dorrell show anymore. No need to get lathered about the potential upside of a walk-on anymore!

Dorrell would’ve offered this guy a scholarship and put him in the 2-deep

 

[BuffLuke80]

I actually think that Prime is putting more emphasis on our walk-on program than maybe any coach we've ever had.

I know one thing, the nubs used to make a living on their walk on program.

Keep an eye on Maine transfer TE Shawn Bowman.

Offers from Miss State and Rutgers. Brew and others follow. Been retweeting a good amount of CU since we dipped into Maine for Khairi Manns.

 

[OkieBuffster]

It’s not lIke we need a TE or anything…

 

[Buffnik]

Looks like we got a commitment from Owen Westemeyer today, the All State TE/OL from Iowa.

I think he will be an OL, but I believe he'll be in the TE group this year because if we need him and he can't redshirt, he'll play at TE.

I also think this is a PWO.

OU site lists him at 6'5" 278.

Buffs should get on this one.

I’m confused. How is he allowed to transfer now? The portal is supposed to be closed except for grads. Does this mean ‘23 early enrollees can also transfer?

 

[rutj]

He committed to Rutgers

 

[rutj]

Man would I love to see the Buffs get Leblanc, he could potentially get PT right away with his size

 

[Buffnik]

 

[Buffnik]

Offered 3 days ago.


Looks like he's accepting.

 

[FLounda]

He’s ballin.

 

[Buffnik]

6'6" 320 OT from MN who was a HS wrestler and has been playing at Rochester C&T. Probably 3 years of eligibility.

The quality of walk ons has taken a massive step forward under this staff.

 

[AztecBuff]

Looks like he just graduated so he qualifies as a grad transfer. (I'm guessing he still hopes/ plans to be a 2023? Per his twitter account, looks like Mississippi State and Troy are his other offers since his transfer announcement.)

This could be big. I love our DL talent, but if we can add another 275 pounder ready to play and who can flex positions along the DL front, it makes us better immediately.

But will Coach Sal hurt his feelings?
