Yeah, that seems to be the angle we are pursuing that has him very interested again. From what I understand, the choice is his. He will likely lean that way because of familiarity.
Honestly, I would love him on either side.
I think he may end up the DL too, and honestly, it's a big advantage for us. We are thin at OT and DT, so Tillery can work at both positions in the Spring and Summer and settle on a position where he can contribute immediately. I think the coaches really like this kid as a player and student-athlete, so he'll probably have a lot of opportunities to figure out what position is best for him. I wonder if Les references Joe Barksdale when speaking with Tillery. Barksdale was a highly recruited DT that ended up playing OL, but he had the talent and opportunity to play both. Now he's a premier RT in the NFL.
Barksdale was also close to choosing a Midwest school before choosing LSU

Maybe OT, but I don't think we are thin at DT.

Then we are looking to nab 3 in 2016. I think we are fine at DT, I'd rather have some OT prospects even if we can land Sweet.
