He’s turned into a dang good football player!

Needed

Big news That's huge. Can't wait to see what our new coaching staff can do with our defense.

I was worried he might head to the NFL or transfer with Coach Joe gone, glad to see he’s staying for next season!

YES!!!!

Is it Dorlus who is close with or even family of Buckner?

Brandon Buckner or DeFo? I remember Bradyn Swinson is cousins with Brandon Buckner - they grew up in North Carolina, as Brandon’s dad played for the Panthers. I love the potential of Swinson and he was great at times this season before the injuries, absolutely took it to Ohio State filling in for KT.

Dorlus was from the same high school in Florida as Gemon Eaford, the 4-star LB who left for academic reasons to go JuCo and then wound up at an FCS school where I think he once again ran into the same issues. Dorlus was rated much lower than him, originally committed to Virginia Tech and then Oregon and Florida put on the press. Dorlus just sticks out so much even when watching Thibodeaux highlights. He can really get some push, he’s stout with the leverage and lower body to drive back the OL and has that ability to disengage and get a quick step laterally that is such a great tool for a DE/DT to have.

Cort Dennison recruited him. If anyone was wondering what happened to that rising coaching star that I was sure would wind up back at Washington; fired from his job as Louisville co-DC for stalking and physically attacking a Louisville staffer with whom he was having an extra-marital affair.

So you are saying he's probably headed to Washington? He'll fit right in!

Yikes- what a way to mess up your career. He was definitely viewed as a rising star when he was at UO.

You’re right. I got Dorlus and Swinson mixed up. As for the former Doog, he was also married while stalking. What a clown.

I hope Dorlus can improve his pop off the line, he is a beast in terms of size and run stopping…but if he could mix in a little bit of the pop that TB had off the snap he would be a monster. That may be a an area of focus that Lanning can help the team with, his UGA defenses have had good pursuit and QB pressure all year barring the ALA game.
