goattalk100 Posted Saturday at 05:21 PM Share Posted Saturday at 05:21 PM I think this would be a great take. I think Baker & Becton would develop him into an impact player. He definitely fits the mold of a SEC DT. Seems like he could be on an Alfred Collins type career trajectory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texcoyote15 Posted Saturday at 06:10 PM Share Posted Saturday at 06:10 PM I haven’t watched his tape yet but with his size he could take the Bill Norton snaps. Norton was a good pickup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We still have to replace the explosiveness and production of Collins and Broughton, though. Hopefully Justus Terry can provide some of that. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdibbs Posted Saturday at 07:07 PM Share Posted Saturday at 07:07 PM He and Brevard would be two great depth pieces. I'd love Texas to land one high-level difference maker in addition to those two. Do that with the freshmen coming in, and I think we are in a great spot. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it Jones might allude to Trey Moore heading to the pros instead of returning? After his last 5 games I don’t blame him for taking his shot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea it was reported on the UNC side that he had turned the corner towards the end of his junior year so an offseason in our program under those guys could lead to a breakout senior season, a la Collins.

There might be a couple every year. Expecting that for any of the 3 much less all of them is a lot to ask. How many snaps did January play so far? we need 3 more DTs in the portal. Whatever we get from the fr is a bonus, especially with injuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably wouldn’t play next year or he wouldn’t hit the portal. Why would you replace that guy with another guy that won’t play? That makes zero sense. Texas wants impact guys out of the portal, not backups 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
