But did he trip during the 40?

Solid Interior OL numbers...

Scores don't say if he can block and think on his feet.

ND can turn them into power machines once they get there.

4.97 is pretty good for a HS junior OL. These guys are massive and not quite fully developed into their bodies.

Add 0.49 seconds to that

I liked Tommy Kraemer a lot,” 247Sports Director of Scouting Barton Simmons said. “He’s enormous and they moved a lot of true tackles to guards because when you have so many elite guys, some of those guys have to kick inside, and Kraemer has been one of those guys that has stayed on the edge and looked really good with his feet mirroring quick defensive linemen and has the wide-bodied frame, it takes a lot of geography for a defensive lineman to actually get around him. He’s not a guy that lets guys bully him also. I think he had complete day.

“We have him as the No. 3 offensive tackle in the country and I saw something that makes me doubt that spot.”

So Simmons says how awesome he is, yet implies rating TK as the #3 OT is high?

I did read that right?

Just seems weird to almost hype up a player, only to leave a negative note at the final 1/2 of the last sentence...

Unless Simmons is bad at writing, I think he may mean Tommy deserves to be ranked higher.

I agree with zelezo. I think he is saying that he should be #1 or #2

Wiltfong clarified that it was a typo. Replace "something" with "nothing."

The Opening Day One Observations - One Foot Down

- Tommy Kraemer may end up being the top offensive tackle here by the end of this camp, but he was not dominant yesterday. He wasn't bad by any stretch. Just not outstanding. And with Kraemer I kind of expected outstanding. I don't think he anchored strong enough and gave up some ground when he probably could have prevented it. It may just be him getting used to the speed of the edge rushers he has to face because there are some very good ones at this camp. Today the pads go on so I think he'll be a lot better with everything today.

I think it seems fishy that he's in the top 17 percent of tested athletes in the 40 with a 5.46.....how slow does a kid have to be in the 25th percentile? 50th? Have they started testing toddlers in the 40?

He's in the bottom 17 percent not the top.

Big23Head · Jul 10, 2015

FWIW, due to eligibility rules in OH Tommy wasn't allowed to participate in the padded portion of drills yesterday. What he did participate in he was very good at. Per Scout and One Foot Down

Percentiles will do that to a guy.

Especially if they are on, or near the bottom.

Brett Heggie? Brothers?

Impossible, if he was related to Bruce he would have the power to just look at the DL and they would curl up into the fetal position and suck their thumb, the name must be a coincidence.

Did a little googling. They are indeed brothers haha.

dublinirish · Jul 13, 2015

Shame on you all

Kraemer and Boudreaux looked very strong. Basically they were "beaten" now and then only because the DE could go anywhere he wanted to, and so it's almost impossible to stop the wide rush --- all our QB would have to do would be to take one step forward [the tackling dummy lacked that skill, but we've had two QBs in a row who weren't very good at it, for different reasons.]

Kraemer in the video didn't cheat towards the outside and ensured that he wasn't beaten inside [a tackle's mentality]. Boudreaux tried to cover every angle and so the DE/DT got in once in a while both ways. Kraemer impressed me with his ability to not be phased by the initial hit --- he shook it off like a mountain and the DE/DT rocked away a bit. Boudreaux sometimes rocked a little with the initial hit, but he's proud and mean so every other play he punished the other guy. His game seems like an interior OLineman working violently in a confined space.

Heggie was OK. He is nowhere near as strong as either of our guys apparently, and sometimes got bulled. It seems like he's trying to act like a Center. ... which is good as he should always get some help there.

Good points OMM. That drill is vastly "tilted" towards the defensive player. I liked what I saw from the two of them.

Kraemer Ready For Big '15 - Irish Sports Daily

#162 on the ESPN 300?

I'm boycotting all ESPN recruiting info. By the time they get around to giving players a rating, 247, Rivals and Scout have been rating AND providing analysis for 2 years.

If this is all you got ESPN, why not just give it up and concentrate on college?
