That's what he's listed at on ESPN...

It's possible.

He's 240 supposedly, and i suppose if he can gain 50 lbs he could do that.

Thats a lot of pounds, however!

Plus Kelly in the press conf said he was really athletic and feisty, could play basketball.

Seems like a DE to me...

He's a DE all the way. He should be a good one. Nick Reed type

I don't think positions for any of these DL guys is etched in stone. Once these guys get on campus and get in a real weight program you never know how they are going to develop. Our starters this year, Bair and Clark, were listed at 238 and 250 on signing day. Linehan is another who, I believe, added significant weight.

Kamp is probably two seasons away from any significant PT so he has time to add a lot of muscle. Koa Ka'ai will probably redshirt as well. We'll see where he is in another year.

Did we get any DT in this lot??

Ebert

Not sure you heard CK right, he commented that Kamp played basketball (in HS) but you could tell he was a football player and mentioned he uses his five fouls rather quickly. He insinuated he wasnt that great of a hoops player but when he was out there he was nasty...

somone on chat ealrier said that Ebert has 4 years to play 3.

any truth to this?

Ahhhh, as in he's athletic enough to play basketball... gotcha. That was pretty funny when he made those comments about giving up his 5 fouls really quick...

Well his brother Harper is a pretty good basketball player:P

I think Ebert has 3 years to play 2

but I would be surprised if we redshirt him

What do you guys think of lyerla as an edge rusher down the road?

I believe the staff has said before that they don't recruit DT's or DE's, they recruit D linemen. You have to remember that theses kids are 18 years old and for the most part still growing. With the resources the staff has at UO it is not unreasonable for a kid to put on weight rather rapidly. Now all that being said I think people tend to underestimate what we have for DT's and exaggerate our problems against the run. Sure, Auburn was able to move the ball well on the ground but let's not forget that we essentially held the Heisman Trophy winner in check, something few defenses were able to do. The loss of Brandon Bair an Zac Clark hurts undoubtedly as they were both very good players but we also return Ricky, Wade and a few others who the staff believe very strongly in. Add Ebert who Chip feels may have been the best JC DT in the country and we have an unproven but solid core of the Dline. Is DT a point of emphasis in next years class? Sure. Is it something to hit the panic button about? At this point I would say no.
