His junior highlight reel is comically dominant. A lot of that is size but the tape shows he’s going up against some big dudes.

He plays DE for fun. Looks decently athletic. A lot of OL grading comes down to technique and understanding scheme and I have no idea where he stands there.

The offers are legit. Cristobal @ Oregon offering gives me confidence

He tweeted he's 100% committed to AU. So at least we got that going for us.

Just guessing I'd say he's probably 6' 6" 340ish...

Has a decent offer list but we know how those can be. Not sure why this early we would take a player rated outside of the Top 500 at this point but may Bicknell sees potential.

We’ve signed like 1 HS OT in the last 3 years. It doesn’t matter when we take them

That's a factor, but lack of talent at key positions is a larger one. Play calling also just as significant.

But ultimately the struggles boil down to we can't recruit the OL and we can't run the offense without good line play which we have sorely lacked the last two years.

I agree. OL makes subpar position players shine. Our OL has made elite postion players suck

Yea he definitely seems like one of those guys that will explode during the season. I like the pickup.

Technique and footwork definitely look raw, but he keeps a good looking pad level from what I could tell. His defensive highlights were just funny. He murdered some QB’s.

. . . or one teeny tiny ball. OMG and only a junior!

(Goochy Goo what you say while having fun with something that's usually smaller than you.)

I hear you Randy. O'linemen time to stack them up like cord wood. Drop them tall, then stack'em up wet, and dry age to perfection. Because missing out on the better than average makes your o'line very average at best.

He’s definitely gonna take a year or two to get size on, but he has the frame that NFL scouts drool over.

No way if that is a fairly recent photo, is he around 380. He looks more like 300-320.

But those long arms...perfect for a OT. Hope he just needs strength and technique and hopefull a little quickness.

Instate DT Barnes which had an early offer from AU chose bama today. I think we slow played him a bit not a huge loss but thought to have a high ceiling. With Hunter aboard we can probably be deliberate who else we take at DT.

Haven't seen any ideas on the Board of numbers expected per position. Only heard small WR class... probably small RB/LB class

Auburn has offered 3* OT Garner Langlo. He is 4* OT Caleb Johnson’s teammate.

6-7, 275ish. Next best offers are probably Baylor, Virginia, and Georgia Tech. Unclear if it’s commitable at this time
