Nice get.

I am hoping this kid is Travis Switzer 2.0.

This is a huge get for us. I've seen RJ play many times and he is a superior lineman. He has the size, strength, speed and smarts to be a a three year starter for us. I could even see him starting four years if he redshirts his freshman year. Congrats to our coaching staff. We will have to work hard to keep him from decommiting as he is the type of kid we need to upgrade our talent level. 

 

Thanks coaches. Keep at it.

I live that we beat out Matt Campbell and PJ what's his name for this kid:

16 offers?! Holy smokes. Gotta assume that includes FCS and maybe even D2 offers as well, but scout/247 only show 1.

So nice on lots of counts.  BIG.  Talented.  Wanted to come to UA.  Local young man.  Long term commit rather than 1 or 2 year eligible.  Way to go Bow and staff!

Hoban update

RJ has another State Title under his belt. I really think he's going to be the stud lineman we've needed.
