I am pretty sure it is Braxton Burmeister

#11 = Phil Simms

Isn't qb11 Jason Fife?

Are you saying that the two DT's that are already committed are not serviceable? Or do you just mean that Ika is the only recruit who could contribute next season?

285 and 305. Those are some big DEs. Given that DJ Johnson is gearing up to play DE, and the ducks have three DE recruits (unless somebody plays LB?) coming in, it seems likely to me that both of those guys will be DT's. Totally understand the point that they won't be huge contributors in 2019 though.

DJ is an OLB

KWH and Poti are DEs

NT needs to be closer to 340

Think Austin Faoliu.

Yeah, Johnson is slated to play in Justin hollins spot next year.

And they told KT he will play DE but I think he will will play end and OLB depending on the formation.

Keyon Ware-Hudson's dad says he'd down to around 270ish and will be playing DE. Poti looks smaller than him in pictures. We need a big nose tackle.

Ah, gotcha. DJ played DE for Miami, but OLB for us.

I guess we'll see on the other guys; there seems to be some disagreement. High schoolers tend to fill out - we are just talking about their weight as hs seniors. At any rate, you can never have enough big uglies on the line. Hopefully we land another one.

Coach Cristobal in his presser calls Dorlus and Poti DT's. He didn't refer to KWH in terms of the specific position he plays, but since he separated them by position, it seems like the implication is that he is also a DT. I guess we'll see how it works out.

That's different than NT.

Keep an eye on dorlus at NT. They list him at 6'2" 270, but he looks way bigger than that to me, and he has a huge frame with lots of room for growth. There is a picture of him from last weekend's visit alongside Poti, ware-Hudson, and drew and Austin faoliu and he looks way bigger

According to people on ScoopDuck he measured in at 6'3.5 262. I could see us using him like Bama uses Quinnen Williams (their stud NT that is a stud).

I guess nobody knows, not even the coaches. Time will tell

But in the current defense, you want a couple guys that can play nose. Not too tall, very wide, long arms, 340 lbs

You also want 4-6 guys that can play DE/DT, tall, long, and powerful around 300 lbs

You nailed it. Clemson, generally considered to be the gold standard of DL, averages 299 lbs on the DL, topping off at 350. 5 DE, DT are at 300 or above, 4 between, 265-285. https://www.tigernet.com/2018-Clemson-Football-Roster

Since we still have around 5 spots, I’d say it’s worthwhile to offer his brother as well to try and sway sophser
