I too was hopeful he might be able to play OT. Because without him at OT, they signed 2 OT’s in the last 2 cycles. And one of those guys, Jagusah, some think is better at OG as well.

Losing Paige and not adding another OT prospect could be costly. We’ll have to see.

ND might have to swipe an OT from the transfer portal next year. Let’s drop the bag

Everyone should read
That’s a good read. Seems like a good kid.

Not to derail his thread but the parts about Peyton bowen are great as well. He hopped on a call AFTER the Oregon selection and was saying he wanted to come back to ND. Wtf?

Absher checked in at 6’4 1/2


So that is not 6’7
Did it say what his wingspan was?

Zach Martin at the Combine measured 6'4 1/4 but had a 77.5" wingspan and was a great college LT. I know he was the quintessential overachiever at the position but IIRC he came out of high school with less fanfare than Absher.

Do they not measure these guys at once they are on campus? Reading a tape measure isn't that hard.

A quick google says that's the same as Zach Martin's at the combine.

So I wouldn't bet on it but there's always a chance he could play OT if he's quick enough

Absolutely, he may never be a tackle but it won't be because of his size.

Length is good, but the ability to Dance and Settle-PUNCH off the dance is even better in college.
THAT is what ZMart was the best in the nation at (and still is.) That means you stay face-up to the
opponent square and don't have to hold outside the body. (watch the Cowboy films.)

No one knows yet what we've got, but we shouldn't make too many shallow assumptions about who
can be a tackle or not based on some simple measurements. I'm guessing that Coach Harry can turn
several of these guys into really good college tackles.
