Visiting for the Blue and Gold Game

His brother is the starting center at MSU and they lead. Teammate of Ian Bunting. Defending state champ for wrestling. Wiltfong thinks ND could make a run at him if we offer.

 

[FLDomer]

I likey, especially the fact he is state champ wrestler!

 

[rtrn2glory]

could he play nose guard?

 

[Whiskeyjack]

Would be the shortest OL of the Kelly era.

From the video, he definitely has a 'nasty streak'. His technique is terrible, but I like that he's a wrestler. They always seem to be tough mother lovers. I remember Trevor Laws was a wrestler. Rare to see a 'Center' these days; most seem to list themselves as guards, probably to appear more versatile.

 

[Buster Bluth]

His brother was a 247Comp .8610 coming out of high school, and as a redshirt freshman won the starting job at Michigan State. That probably says something about their toughness.

He finished his wrestling season 49-0 at heavyweight.

John Sullivan was also a wrestler and a center in high school. He went undefeated in wrestling in high school. He also turned into a decent center lol.

Committed to MSU

Staff informed him last week that they wouldn't be taking a center. Was originally supposed to visit today but switched to MSU spring game

MSU is on a roll here, picking up guys on the periphery of our board. Some pretty solid prospects though.

 

[JD Irish]

Two good pickups for them.

 

[Irishnuke]

I wouldn't consider landing two 3 star players being on a roll. I guess that's good for them though.

3 years from now these 2 (Allen and Enoch Smith) will be thorns in our arses.

woah, try and be nice.

 

[Sherm Sticky]

Another solid pickup for MSU.

Kid is a great wrestler as was his brother. Extremely athletic but not very big. Best of luck to him personally I thought he could be a big time D 1 wrestler, but he apparently enjoys football more. Fwiw he was offered after his freshman year by Iowa for football.
