Mickey is afrer another Louisiana kid. I wonder if Chase Androff ends up at OT if we land this one.
Does Androff have the frame for OT? Go and get better talent from 1 or 2 more high school kids that Mickey likes and then make room.
that would explain the offer from Mickey to the TE committed to Cincy. If they can get him then grow Androff into an OT. He has the frame for it then. Brett B. when he was at Wisconsin used to do that all of the time at WI and lot of those guys made it to the NFL.Not sure. He’s 6’6 230 and played in a running offense in HS. At the presser they asked Beckton if he might play OT and he said something like “I’m a team player, but really like him as a TE”.
Nothing wrong with a good old fashioned blocking tight end. As defenses are getting smaller and faster to adjust to the spread, it's no longer just the Patriots, Steelers and Andy Reid who are going unbalanced line, playing their third tackle as a TE and using a fullback. It's becoming pretty common in the NFL.Does Androff have the frame for OT? Go and get better talent from 1 or 2 more high school kids that Mickey likes and then make room.
I doubt that is the reason. Mickey visited this TE the day after he got the Nebraska WR job. He probably wanted him at LSU but got told no or something like that.Or is someone transferring out at TE? We have a lot of young ones already
I suspect that we're going to make Boerkircher's move to OT a permanent one. He had been in the 2 deep at TE but I think also appeared in the 2 deep at OT at one point. He's a good athlete and could play some OT for us. No doubt there is some rebalancing of the roster going on with the offensive roster. We've lost several scholarship RBs to the portal and I suspect that Whipple wants to allocate one of those spots to a TE instead.Or is someone transferring out at TE?
