    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.

    He does appear a little slow twitch.

    Not sure what the angle is with this one.

    Glad we were able to beat out Bemidji State, whoever the hell that is, for him.

    Apparently not.

    I think we actually signed him.

    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.

    I would assume he's a walk-on, no?

    ETA: Nevermind, he's on scholarship. Weird.

    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.
