It’s clear Deculus is not going to be either LT/RT at the next level. Don’t even know if he would get drafted. His biggest weakness is blocking speed

He has one more year of eligibility left due to COVID. Let’s convince him to stay and see if he can bulk up to play Guard. I don’t think Ed Ingram stays. Hopefully we upgrade at OL Coach too because Cregg can’t develop shite

He's gone man. He reached his ceiling. I'm happy for his service.

He'd be 23 next draft I don't think he wants that.

He gets destroyed by anyone with speed while pass rushing

Bulk up? Have you ever looked at Deculus? He makes the rest of the OL guys look small. Size and strength is not his problem. He just doesn’t move his feet well enough to handle NFL speed. I would like to see him try at guard next year too and let Dumervil or Wire take over RT but I’m sure Austin is ready to move on. He’s been here a long time.

He should go. He is a road grader. The NFL will test him at the combine to see if he can pull. If he can, he’ll be a fourth or fifth round pick. If he can’t he should stay and work on a degree.

I’m not sure he can get low enough to play inside effectively.

Unfortunately I do not think Deculus could play guard. Have you seen him run? Have you seen him try to get to the linebackers on a running play ?
He did a great job while he was at LSU and we all salute him for his consistent and steady play at right tackle. So glad he won a few rings while he was here and a Natty. Would be great if he returned and battled for the right tackle spot again next year as I just don’t see him playing guard in college or at the next level.

Man, he got blown up on that 4th and one vs. Bama...I mean badly. Lot of those types at the next level.
