His highlight tape on 24/7 is awful. Missed blocks, decent catches but gets destroyed in the open field, etc. When like your 5th highlight is you blocking on a 10 yard gain and you are a TE, you probably don't have many offers, which he doesn't.
Hopefully we can do something with this kid but if he's running a 5.0 40, Powers Warren may turn into Rufus Warren.
Is he a walk on?
Glad we were able to beat out Bemidji State, whoever the hell that is, for him.
Hev doing work. Meet our starting Left Tackle/ Center in 3 years fellas.*
Funny thing is; the narrative when Ravian Pierce chose Syracuse was that we didn't need any more TEs.
Is this a future LT?
good pad height in a 3 point stance, decent hands catching, but lacks speed, hips are a little rigid for a receiving TE, and never really "engages" his blocks with major intensity in that video.
Personally, i think they are looking at another "project" athlete at the OT position. At the least, occupy a rusher on short yardage situations. he has the height and wingspan. And he actually pulled really well across the line, which we do a lot of with our OTs in run plays.
He averaged 18 yards a catch last season. That might be something our staff saw in him they liked. It does seem odd that we'd go all the way to Minnesota to offer a lightly-recruited player. There's got to be something about him our staff really likes.
Hope he turns into a good player for us.

Nice size. He can be developed into a stud.
Welcome aboard I hope you are not checking this thread out or any potential recruit as far as that goes.
Here are his measurables according to Hudl:

The kid has been at IMG this Spring & apparently was offered a preferred walk-on spot by TN. Says numerous schools wanted him to be a post-grad so they could offer him in 2018, but MSU had a scholarship & he took it.
We've been telling Hev to go get some Big 10 linemen.....
