Bama

Did he go anywhere yet?
It would be a nice pickup.
If plan a didn't work

Jayven James is committed to Alabama, but he was rated very low. Broderick Shull of Auburn is the highest rated uncommitted OT aside from Seaton. James was the 859th player in the rankings, while Broderick Shull is rated the 285th player, and Shull was also rated much higher as a high school recruit. Shull was rated higher out of high school than any player that we lost to the portal this year. I don't know what's going on with Shull, but I think we should be pursuing him as at least a backup plan. He played RT, but he is supposedly athletic.

ON3 described him as "Explosive, twitchy offensive tackle with high-level movement skills for the position. Measured in at around 6-foot-5.5, 275 pounds as a junior. Has plus length and big frame for the position with 34-inch arms and 10.5-inch hands. Transferred to Oklahoma powerhouse Bixby prior to his junior year, lining up at right tackle. Athleticism and twitch pop off the film. Fires out of his stance. Dangerous as a puller and when working to the second level. Capable to manipulate and turn defenders at the point of attack. Showed progress in his pass set technique as a senior. Moves laterally with ease and is able to mirror pass rushers. Looked more physical as a junior and will need to improve in that area to maximize his upside. Can also improve his balance. Combination of size and athleticism give him substantial upside if physicality improves."
