He's a DT that's a freshman. We grabbed him after we laid off recruiting the guy that went to Bama from Amite who I won't mention the traitor's name. Hopefully this guy from Utah will be serviceable because we need him.

He preformed well in the spring game but that doesn’t mean much.. there have been many spring game all Americans.

He has all the physical tools. I am hopeful

Does a one legged duck swim in a circle?

Oh he’s going to be much more than serviceable. Did you see him in the spring game? He had only been on campus for a couple months at that point. Not only that, but I really think Tyler Shelvin will finally fully turn the corner.

After his Spring emergence I would say he'll be a force to be reckoned with right away

He'll be playing an awful lot as a freshman.

Hopefully so our entire season is done if he doesn't work out. Nose tackle is the missing peice that will lead us to the playoffs

I didn’t see this. I saw him pushing our #2s easily. I saw him hold his own against the 1s. When he got penetration, it was always against backups. Still, he will be a force in the future if he is already doing good things as a freshman. A big positive I saw in the Spring game was that he never really looked tired. He performed well in all his reps. That is HUGE for a big man.

The talent is there. Just needs to get his body right. Looks like Shelvin has transformed his and will take over at the #1 nose spot and Apu will spell him

He killed it in the spring game. He has all the signs of a dominant d-lineman. Troll thread.

We were going after Ika no matter what the kid from Amite was doing

Based on his offer list probably so.

He was offered by:

*LSU
*USC
*UCLA
*Oregon
*Bama
*Washington
*Arizona
*Arizona State
*Florida
*Tennessee
*Ole Miss
*Vandy (must be a good student)
*Cal
*Utah
*BYU
*Penn State
*Ohio State
*Michigan State
*Nebraska

Is that enough? If LSU was wrong so were a hell of a lot of others. He is going to be a good one

His goal was to lose 2 pounds per week. Moffitt said he has done that and sometimes would lose 6-8 pounds. Should be a force.

How is he a traitor? Do you consult message boards before you make life decisions? He did what was best for him, whatever the reasons.

There’s so much wrong with what ou said.

Apu is gonna be great for us. Also he’s a NT, Ish was a DE.

Also he committed to us early and enrolled in December. Ish went to signing day.

I don’t blame someone for no knowing a situation but don’t pretend like you do if you dont.

He seems to be good enough that a handful of our NT alternates entered the transfer portal which leads me to believe they are pretty in tune with playing time opportunities for them now that he's here.
