WHAT? (11) forced fumbles? That is crazy.

Really though what did you think of the tape? You know I am very honest person lol

I think he beats up on guys who are half his size, but he's really athletic for someone his size. He beat double teams, defeated reads, swatted balls...he impressed me.

Fair enough, I saw no explosiveness and no first step. He did get double teamed a lot but I don't see a difference maker. He might make a better offensive guard. Watching Tiassum tape and then watch MDT tape it was a night and day difference for me.

He reminds me a Jarron Jones. Extremely raw player where you can see where he could get to but it seems like that might take some time. I think he'll have a similar experience. Initial competitiveness will overwhelm him but after a couple years of S&C as well as reps against real Olineman he'll get his bearings. Keep in mind Jarron is still getting his, so this is a long project.

On MDT, I totally agree. I'm excited to get that kid in early. Not necessarily for immediate PT but to track his progress. I think he's got some real upside.

Is Mokwuah this same kind of prospect?

I don't see the Jarron Jones comparisons. Brandon Tiassum reminds me of Hafis Williams

I wasn't speaking to who he looked like. I was referring to the kind of experience that he'll have. Very similar paths, IMO.

Cliche I know but he definitely sounds like a perfect fit for ND.

He just got pancaked in straightening up, man on man blocks in back to back reps in the semper fi game. I really hope whatever guard that was is an awesome one.

it's a glorified scrimmage, so I am not putting much stock into what happens in this game tonight. He has the tangibles to work with and it sure would be great to not have to count on a DT prospect playing in their first two or three years and give them time to get 'college ready'.
