I love getting Defensive tackles!!! We never used to get them until the very end and we’re underwhelming prospects. Love these guys!

Hadn't seen this logo before. Anyone know what the "CGA" stands for?

I wonder if he’s supposed to be more of an MJ Anderson type, swinging between SDE and DT.

Was wondering the same. If he and Hammond are both gonna play DT, would that already finish our 2023 recruiting at the position? Wouldn't make much sense considering we are still in the running for higher rated guys like Hill and Gant.

This is the third commit of the class.

Oh I see what you’re saying, 2nd this week.

Looks like a solid start. Hope we can secure some highly rated guys because the whole NIL thing has me worried. Not that we would traditionally get a ton of 4 and 5 stars but we have been on such a good trajectory YoY

Hokkks gotta be pissed we're pulling from their home state.

Actually we never got them. Just tried to convert some of our skinny O linemen.

 

[khardbored]

yessss!

I have zero worries about the staff's DL evaluations. We are no longer fresh into a new defense and playing 4-3 guys in a 3-3, they know exactly what kind of players will work in this system and are stacking one class on top of another.

I was going to guess chain gang assassins

Yes. And the kid gives a great interview:
