That's a good point. I never thought about that.

We have 2 solid options at center, but neither are top level players. Wouldn't surprise me if they think he can make the transition.

He started at LG last 2 years, dont believe they are looking at him for center. He will compete with Frazier and whoever is at RG (probably Emery Jones, eventually...but maybe not to open season, who knows).

This guy is needed to bolster the interior depth because we lost a good bit there. He is decent enough he could end up starting and has 2 years of eligbility left.

This is a great move. We don’t need starters on the OL from the portal, but we could use 2-3 guys to replace Hill, Dum, and Kardell


Why would a kid leave the starting line up of Maryland to come stand on the sidelines here?

Would he come here just to be a depth piece?

I'd be surprised if emery jones isn't the starter all year at right tackle.

If he is moving back to guard he will have to add that lost weight back.

Would love to have him at LSU.

OL always has injuries, so quality depth is more important than at any other position. (And there is little to no quality OL depth currently)

Watch out for Arkansas though, because he was with Dan Enos (New Arkansas OC) at Maryland.

Yes, he visited last weekend. From what I’ve gathered, it went well - that said, he is still planning to visit Arkansas this weekend.

Definite need for depth. Pretty good chance he’ll be needed to play at some point in the year.
