You forgot Christopher Thomas. He’s gonna be a real good one.

 

I like Thomas a lot, but not sure he is a DT at present. May follow the Zach Carter arc of strong DE that slides inside later

 

Ma

He is over 300 pounds and from watching him in high school more of a defensive tackle. If he could play the End spot with his size that would be very helpful in certain situations but, he will stay inside I think most of the time

 

Looked a little lean at end of last season, of course thats natural for a 6-5 freshman. Would prefer him at DT with Boone and Sapp handling the outside role

 

Thomas was injured all last season until the Bowl Game when he got his 1st PT, he's listed at 309 now and I doubt he plays outside. Think Umananlien, Boone, and Sapp (and Zanders?) will hold down the SSDE spot.

 

Weren’t we in the same scenario just one year ago? Probably even worse off

 

Agree on Boone and Sapp, although I think you’ll see Sapp slide inside some. He’s quick and will prob carry enough weight to move inside on pass rush downs.
On Thomas, I could have sworn roster I saw was 6’5 314. In high school seeing him up close he was easily 285-290.

 

Well, we pretty much had the same guys we have now.....plus Carter, Valentino, Newkirk, Truesdell

 

Woah. Not sure I believe it, but having Watson, Dexter and Thomas on the field in '23 at the same time would be imposing in size.

 

And 3 of those guys were one year rentals, right? Can’t remember if they had a spring here.

 

Throw in princely at wde and you are really onto something.

 

Are we playing a 3-4 or 4-3 ? That will really decide how many DT's/NT's we need moving forward.

 

Its going to look like three semi-trucks parked sideways at the line of scrimmage.

 

Lejond Cavazos, Ohio State, Safety

 

What's with OSU's safety exodus? They get a new position coach or they being pushed out by better talent?

 

Wow - they’re losing a safety and a CB

 

yea idk what's going on over there. crazy to lose two safeties
