No he presents matchup problems playing in the middle of the defense. Fact. That's where all his production came last year. We don't even know if he can play on the edge

He's listed as 6'4" 293 lbs (on dandydons website). I'm sure he must be bigger than that now. I just question his ability to hold down the point of attack and take on blockers in the run game at the NT position. He doesn't appear to have a wide base or anything like that.

I have heard it said that the NT in an Aranda defense doesn't play like a usual NT, but what happens if the NT is shooting gaps against the run. Seems like he could be pushed right out the play leaving a big hole like that if he isn't taking on blockers and trying to clog up the middle. Maybe no problem if you have some big ILB's to step into the hole. I don't doubt Godcheauxs ability to make plays regardless, because he is a very talented player, just seems out of position at NT to me.


on a side note, when looking up Godcheaux's weight on DD's LSU roster, he has Quenton Thomas listed. He didn't get a 6th year did he? He redshirted as a true freshman then had an injury plagued career at LSU. Could he have applied for and been granted another year?
