Great pickup and to keep the instate kids as many have said, what a great week for the ducks with Colt and Blackmon. Now let's just keep it going next week by winning the Natty. By the way Colt, Anthony Wallace, Kaddu, Bo and Clay the linebackers postion is set for the future.

I think we start Colt in the slot. Move Huff outside with LT. While we lose Jeff and DJ, next years passing attack could be very lethal with a years worth of games under DTs belt and lots of speedsters to get it to. It's really good that Colt will be here this spring so that he can get acclimated to the offense
Offense really? Does he have the hands/agility/routing running to play slot?

I was thinking DE or OLB...cool either way as long as he talent is maximized! Ya I can dream :D
While he could easily play defense no problem as an OLB (I don't see him bulking up to be a DE more than 2-3 snaps a game in packages), Chip puts his best guys on offense. In the slot, we can use him in some of our running plays, as well as creating big mismatches on LBs and Safeties due to his athleticism. He also puts another big body on the edge for sealing the corner in our running game. We will certainly know more once spring practices start, but I think we use him to boost our passing game.

Excellent news; kinda expected it, but still a tremendous pickup. Unfortunately, I missed the announcement - had to take a friend to the airport. Is there a video of Colt committing?

Colt looked good today. He hits so hard. Completely took out the fullback and slowed down the RB in one play.

I want to see him at LB.

Real odd to see that. Must be a one shot deal on that hat though.

Vili had the same looking hat on the table. I think they finally know what The O looks like now.

That's where I'd like to see him also, that or at DE.

Much rather see him playing somewhere on defense than offense.
Would love to develop a dominate D to go with our unstoppable offense. Just need to get some Stud DT's..... come on Simmons .

On the road at the Natty so we missed the game and announcement. If he plays tight end or slot we are going to be loaded with Sumler, French, Blackmon, White, LT, Huff, plus our fast Taser guys like Kenyon and Seastrunck.

FYI We went to Pinnacle HS this morning. it was locked down tighter than Area 51. Absolutely no access except media for a few minutes. The team was about 150 meter from the fence where the Duck fans were waiting. The neon green socks really pop! The music was amped up. The house across the street are probably ready for the Duck to win the game and head home.
