I'm seeing a lot of fluctuation on Segun's weight. One of the sites yesterday listed him at 300, and then I've seen him listed as low as 270. Either way, I think he's got the frame to hold 300+ and could play NT/1-tech.
I'm sure they could, but it's not just a weight thing. Folorunsho and Alexander both look great off the line crashing downhill aggressively. Hell they both even look more than competent rushing off the edge, which might come in handy depending on scheme. You might be able to play them at 1 but it might not be their best position.

Parks is an absolute brawler in the middle. It would really be the cherry on top of an already ubsurd DL class.

That Nazareth coach posted the other day a long thing again.

IMO if it’s not one thing it seems to be another. If it’s not role it’s Fakatou, or it’s Folo, or it’s pressure to commit, or it’s Segun etc etc. Don’t seem him landing here (happily).

Starting to lean that way too. Seems to want to be catered to and semi afraid to compete

I'm a huge Segun fan, think the kid could be special but his best position is a DT- 3T, could he play nose sure but not ideal IMO. To me Parks and Segun are apples and oranges as Parks is a NG even though he thinks of himself as a DT-3T

Like Segun, Parks is a way better than there rankings. Finding high end NG is extremely tough and it's just not a sexy position and doesn't get the love that pass rushing, QB crushing DT's get.

Make no mistake missing out on Parks would hurt but that said the DT-3T recruiting of late has been amazing.

After Oregon not so optimistic. lol

Don't know what's going on with him, but typically these drawn out recruitments don't seem to end in our favor.
