Now an Army All-American

K don't believe the Army sponsors that game anymore...for the past 2 or 3 years they have not I believe.

Caught Aiden’s game tonight vs. Alexandria City, the team formerly known as T.C. Williams High. They definitely game planned to not allow Aiden to dominate. On second play of game, he was blocked by the G, T, TE, and RB. This kid has speed and definitely a motor. There was one play where he hit the RB in the backfield, missed the tackle, the RB ran back to the left and Aiden got back up and still made the tackle in pursuit. Most impressive play of the night for me by far. I can definitely see him adding 25-30 more lbs of muscle and being just fine. I definitely see his best attribute as a pass rusher at the next level. Moves very fluid for his size. Excited to see what he does in 2, 3, 4 years.

Appreciate the update. That play you described is awesome to hear. Kids going to be an absolute monster!

This kid is an athletic freak. Probably still underrated at ~150 overall. Great get by the staff.

Luckylucci · Oct 6, 2021

That talent, with Elston’s coaching, and Balis’s S&C program is going to take this young man places.

Remember when Foskey was having a quiet camp? Neither do I.

Sherm Sticky · Oct 7, 2021

No doubt my favorite prospect in the 2022 class. Reminds me of the Bosa brothers...

Less muscular, higher motor Aaron Lynch for an ND comp. Their violent hands are very similar.

Luckylucci · Oct 20, 2021

Dropped from 147 to 175 in 247's latest update. The previous update was on 8/20 before he played this season. Apparently his value relative to his peers is now lower after his senior season thus far.

Watching his midseason highlight reel...yeah, 247 is smoking some dank sh*t.

Dude should be well on his way into the top 100, not dropped. He's noticeably bigger and he's running like a goddamn gazelle. Violent hands, blowing guys off the line and chases backs down with little to no effort.

There are NOT 22 ends better than Gobaira in this class. I doubt there's even 10 better. What does a guy have to do to get some damn respect?

benneboy · Oct 20, 2021

Think his ranking is fairly irrelevant at this point. He's one of those prospects that's finally ranking is going to be almost solely determined by his all American bowl performance. If he shows out that week he'll blow up to 5* territory. If he struggles he'll end up in the top 250 range.

Run a verified 40 time.

I wish that needed italics, lol.

That's fine if he's into that sort of thing but let's keep it off the football field. I'll pass on watching his highlights.

Interesting that he’s only 6’3.5”… would imply that Wagner is only 6’4”

I truly believe this class of OL all project best interior across the board. Hopefully we won't need one from it and it won't matter.

In case you missed the EE's time with the media, here in article form is Aiden's.

I love this young mans attitude. This guy might blossom into a star.

T-Boone · Dec 25, 2022

Anyone heard much about this player’s development?
He might be my most hoped for in terms of second season big improvement (or someone at the pass rush positions).

T-Boone · Aug 12, 2023

He is out for the season according to Freeman

DCDomer · May 15, 2024

Just thought of him randomly since he is a local kid. I think he was hurt for the entirety of the Spring? Anyone got details?

BobbyMac · May 15, 2024

Medical retirement coming soon?

No updates..... he was out all fall and spring. Hopefully he's ready for summer/fall

Tore his ACL in the middle of fall camp. Usually guys aren't going to be back for spring. Imagine Gobaira was at the end of his rehab timeline during spring.

IAIrish · May 15, 2024

The irony is he was flashing in fall camp and tore his acl making a sack in a live scrimmage. I could easily see him being in the rotation at some point, but sde is flush with talented vets and a young 5* legacy.
