The Boston College offer intrigues me. I read up a bit on their OL coach and he had previously coached there in 2020 and 2021. In his 2 years there, he got 9 OL on the All-ACC team (including all 5 in 2021) and one turned into a first round pick. This got him the job as Miami Dolphins OL coach in 2022, where he improved the OL’s sack numbers and rushing numbers but they let him go at the end of the season - which Dolphins fans were upset about.

He returned to BC last year where they had the 2nd ranked rushing attack in the conference and he again put 4 of 5 linemen on the all-conference list. Offered Gardenhire after a visit it looks like.

Great thinking, put this info in the recruits thread who's about to decide on a school. #Sabotage

about damn time this future first rounder gets a profile

He is to big to fail

I suspect that he's going to blow up this fall and programs will be trying to snipe this commitment. Through 2023, was raw and dealt with an injury. Once a guy that size is able to show out, he'll be on just about everyone's list since there are so few guys with his measurables who can move.

Yeah it’s fine to take a flier on 6’8 350 lbs. Feels like at worst he ends up being Lictenhaun type player and a solid depth piece during his college career, while his upside is first round pick

Ok. On3 unrated on a 6’8” 350lbs HS Senior? Um. Those numbers are at least a 3* without anything else, aren’t they?

That size with CU, Pitt & BC offers is an easy one to slot in as a low/mid 3* to watch this season.
