NorCal kid, Yale offer, Stanford needs at least two OT's, Stanford has no OL offers out. Hopefully he's an ND minimum qualifier.

Three-Star OL Will Craig Talks Pac-12 Visits, Could Make Early Decision (Video)

Granite Bay (Calif.) offensive lineman Will Craig had an impressive showing at the Nike Opening Regional Camp in Oakland Sunday earning OL MVP honors following the event.

Will Craig is one of the region's top tackle prospects and showed it on Sunday.

Craig is a natural right tackle who showed good lateral mobility to counter speed rushers and the strength to stand up to a bull rush. He has a sold frame with plenty of room to add size and strength and has all the physical ability needed to be a solid player at the next level.

On the recruiting front, Craig has already taken several unofficial visits including stops at Arizona, Arizona State, Cal, Colorado, UCLA and Utah. He is hoping to visit the Nebraska Cornhuskers and Notre Dame Fighting Irish over the summer as well.

Craig broke down his visits as well as what schools he has the best relationship with and a timeframe for a decision.

247 hadn't updated their Comp ratings and this profile was built last month when R&R's were getting updated. He got a bump with the other services.

Here's his updated R&R's:

247 Comp .... :s::s::s::s: ..... #18 OT ..... #257 OA ..... .9065 rating
247 .............. :s::s::s::s: ..... #20 OT ..... #226 OA ...... 91
Scout ........... :s::s::s::s: ..... #25 OT
Rivals ........... :s::s::s::s: ..... #14 OT ...... #178 OA ..... 5.8
ESPN ............ :s::s::s::s: ..... #31 OT .......................... 80

Sampson mentioned on podcast today that he spoke to Craig at Opening and he definitely will visit ND. Craig talked to Quinton Nelson a lot and was impressed with everything he heard about HH. Sampson said he has an "old school mentality" which would mesh well with HH. Not a huge fan of social media. ND wants one more tackle and one more interior OL.

Sounds similar to a comment I made over at ISD after reading an article on him. The kid would get along well with Harry just based on the type of personality I've gathered from Harry the times I've met him.

Saw an article with Biggins or Huffman and he seemed odd. Usually ND OL's come across as wise men, he did not.

I don't know, call me crazy for listening to that voice inside after a 3 minute interview.

Seems like a filler year unless Salyer and/or NPF jump aboard. Maybe Dirksen could be a starting OG late if the cards fall right for him.

Once again, seat of the pants hot take but that's what you guys pay me the big bucks for.
