    There is absolutely nothing you can do when FSUs extremely overhyped lineman (verse) is rag dolling your LT straight back. Has nothing to do with coaching and everything to do with George not being strong enough. It was sad to watch

    Respectfully disagree, in that you can bring in big time portal players.

    Pure athlete who is learning the position and seems to not be on the same page with Mertz on his route running. Hopefully he will progress nicely next year.

    We’d take him in a heartbeat. That’s why I say build those relationships cuz with today’s portal, you never know when a player will come back to you. Recruiting is the long game.

    Not sure it’s strength. Plays a bit high and lacks the quick feet needed at Tackle. He needs to slide inside.

    Yeah he’s a guard. Only playing that position because we don’t have tackles

    Yes, he was a QB in HS, but further along than Toney at this stage.

    The way he has shown hands is a surprise he was a walk on.

    They are few and hopefully we can afford a couple. Every team is bidding.
