If the strategy is to develop a strong pass rush from the DL it makes sense to load up at the position. With 3 DE's the best out of the group could make the 2 deep rotation with 2 to redshirt for development.

There have been a couple recent classes that have been light at DE, so an extra DE or two may be a good thing. I guess we'll know where the coaches are thinking of using him when they announce the class on signing day.

Doc, what do you figure his playing weight will be? If they plan to use him as a DE he can play now at about 250. If they want him at DT or OT then he'll need to put on 20 or more pounds. If you remember our All-MAC OT Flading came here about the same size as Brandon. Stay tuned.

Doc, what do you figure his playing weight will be? Not Doc, but, after gaining his freshman 40 I would say he first sees the field at 290. I hope this one plays offense beginning as a RS freshman center. No doubt the coaches are fighting over this kid. "Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men."

(in fact he played DE in the Hula Bowl when coach Bo ran out of DE's because it was so hot, he was put in to the game and in three plays had a sack, a hurry and a batted down pass--when Billy Sims won the MVP for the game, the famous voice "Wo Nelly" said it should have been awarded to this kid who could go down field and throw blocks and make a sack when you need one.) That head coach who recruited this kid out of HS  is one of the talking heads on ESPN these days. So an intelligent, tough, fast kid at center might not be a bad idea at all.

My favorite center, all time, from Illinois, someone for this kid to emulate. My second favorite was no bigger than Brandon out of HS and would up with a trophy named after himself. Center is where it is. Me, I would like to see our All MAC tackle moved to center for his senior year then one of these young studs with a mean streak take the job. JMHO "Do not pray for easy lives.
