New D Tackle
- Thread starter bergemj
- Start date
How about the 2nd D Tackle
So we added 3 300+ pound lineman today. That's a pretty good day
This is very good for UNLV football, they are here because the staff saw something they could work with in terms of player development!
As far as I know, we still have the JC lineman coming in. Hernandez 6'4 305 OL and Altayeb 6'4 295 DL.
I can. hear the cooks at the Fertitta's complex just bemoans,"That is a lot of beef to feed!"
Jalen Lee from LSU has 4 years of SEC experience, former Florida Gator (Mullen guy?) that was a four star in HS. Not much in terms of stats but he’s practiced against top tier talent every day.
Lets get the complex on diners, drive ins, and dives. I’m sure the guys would like a night at flavor town.
Oh man if our DL & OL can gel….
Will any of the recent guys be able to play spring ball or is it too late??
If you guys look at the heights and weights of these 3 linemen, they are not "fat". That is pretty fit for a football player at 6'3.
Remember in the 3-3-5 defense, the linemen need to be agile and tall. They need to shoot the gaps.

Classes don't begin until January 21st, so I'd think they should be able to get out here in the next week, but IDK
For sure, There is a deadline that you have to be enrolled by and I think its a week or two after the semester starts.
I don’t think he is your typical LSU guy he didn’t play much in four years.Getting LSU transfers?
But
He will more than likely play a lot here, against G5 level competition!
Maybe, coming from a big school to a small one doesn’t guarantee success. Our Texas receiver just bore that out. I am more excited about the younger guys who have room to grow than a 5th/6th year player with 4 career tackles. At that point most of them are what they are. Mullen is probably getting as many bites at the apple as possible on those types figuring one or two will actually hit.
True about Cain but there can be a Catalon or a Woodard who was a walk on at Arkansas.
But I ask you, what is the alternative in the NIL marketplace?
We are a G5 playing mostly G5 teams all we have to do is beat all of them to get a seat at the table at season’s end. Kind of like a bear is chasing you and someone else, be faster than the other guy with you and you stay alive!

Except Woodard came here as a junior so a perfect example of someone to take a chance on. Catalon also had two years' eligibility left. The ones I am less excited about are the ones who have already played 4 years. But that doesn't mean they aren't worth taking a chance on. We have signed a number of guys with only a year left so I am sure some of them will pop.
Look at it this way. Not everyone can be a starter. Quality depth. Would you rather
have backups from South Dakota State University transferring in or backups from LSU and Texas?
Most are one year rentals to be honest. Any production on a top 25 team and they’ll be poached for a bigger payday. We were extremely lucky Ricky stayed and others as well.
Exactly. It's like that with most teams now, not even just G5 teams. Due to NIL and the portal, there are more guys than ever switching teams for any number of reasons, but I'm sure money comes in high on the list for most of them.
We have NIL too the top ones may leave but we should be able to keep some as well.
