Moderators CJ Vogel Posted February 6 Moderators Share Posted February 6 Michigan defensive line coach Mike Elston is headed to the NFL. A big piece of the Wolverines success from a year ago was the work of their defensive line. Just as importantly for the Longhorns who play Michigan in Ann Arbor the second game of the upcoming season, the Wolverines' DL was supposed to be a strength of their 2024 team. That may have hit a bit of a snag Tuesday afternoon as word out of Jim Harbaugh’s LA Chargers camp leaked that Elston will be making the leap to the Pros. Michigan did not have any roster attrition of note after the first round of its coaches departing to Los Angeles. However, with Elston now leaving, it makes things significantly more interesting for two elite interior defensive linemen, Mason Graham and Kenneth Grant, if they were to enter the portal.

Shorthorn35 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 CJ are there any ties between Graham and Baker or Grant and Baker? Just wondering how good our odds would be if either decided to jump ship? Or do you believe that Sherrone Moore keeps those guys in Ann Arbor? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermanator Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 They can't really transfer now but if you're Baker and PK/Sark you have a couple of months to get the word out through back channel communication and work on them to sell proving themselves in the SEC getting more good tape for a year before the draft. Not sure if it will work but put on the hard sell for the spring transfer portal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Gerry Hamilton Posted February 6 Moderators Share Posted February 6 Now this is an interesting development (expected by some for a while). Will be interesting to see who the new hire is, and how that impacts the spring. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Texas will attempt to create a tie the second either Graham or Grant enter the portal. Post haste. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't see any with Nansen or Huppert, but I bet with Graham being from Anaheim, which is close to Mater Dei , someone on the staff knows someone close to him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham is from Servite High School, Nansen has had great success recruiting Servite High School is the connection. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like all parties and money behind UT recently aligned to be ready to go toe to toe with any other program for an elite DT. whereas I don't think many other programs can say the same.

I don’t know about way behind, but Texas needs to pickup IDL and LB recruiting if they expect to become a consistent upper echelon team in the SEC. As currently structured, Texas is the Lane Kiffin version of Ole Miss, good but not elite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baron Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 28 minutes ago, 4thandFive said: It feels like Texas is way behind many in the SEC re: the DL room. I can't agree with this. DL is the one position on defense where three star prospects seem to develop. Brown is in and we have our sights set on Orogbo, Williams and Guidry.
