I am just curious on why we are committing to and/or signing so many tight ends. Good question. Ognenovic is gone after this year no matter what. I’m wondering if there will be 1 or 2 scholarship tight ends transfer out before the 2022 season begins. Also, it’s possible some of the scholarship tight ends listed on the roster aren’t at spring ball and we haven’t been notified as of yet.

Designed by the the 3rd grader learning Clip Art who created the flying baseball G for the Guardians. I like the TE room going forward. We have MASSIVE targets on the inside for the QBs to hit on seem routes and whatnot. Hopefully they have hands and can block too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catdaddyp Posted April 24, 2022 Report Share Posted April 24, 2022 (edited) Kylon Wilson was on campus. I’m not sure if we’ve offered, but I suspect we will. HS highlights are below. He’s a smaller player, but he’s a playmaker.. https://www.hudl.com/video/3/12905534/61adce44ab920a0830969d0d Jean Louis III was also on campus. No offered listed yet, but one is probably coming. HS highlights are below. https://www.hudl.com/video/3/14439802/6151a9e9479826088cc6e276 Darius Whiteside II was on campus last week and has an Akron offer. https://www.hudl.com/video/3/12842167/618fee97b3c87201448e9ac9 Michael Kilbane was also on campus last week and has an offer, but we have some serious competition. He already has 11 Power 5 offers and 22 total according to Rivals. https://www.hudl.com/video/3/13111868/61744021386df7012c82faab Jake Cook was also in, who we’ve offered, but he’s a rising sophomore. If I were a betting man I’d bet he will see some Power 5 offers soon. https://www.hudl.com/video/3/16071032/617d9518041e480cacf231c2 Marcus Moore Jr was on campus with some teammates. He has an Akron offer. https://www.hudl.com/video/3/15582505/61375f08e97ac2057491415e Andrew Marshall was also on campus. He has an Akron offer. Listed as WR and OLB, but he’ll be a linebacker. https://www.hudl.com/video/3/12911769/61a54636f5600308e4ba437b Edited April 24, 2022 by catdaddyp 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t even have a chance to add him as a potential transfer as he is listed as entering today and committing today. Looks like an interior OL from Penn State. Hell yes! Edit: Looks like he played on interior at PSU, but was maybe recruited as a tackle. At the very least seems versatile. Was also a 4 star recruit to Penn St. Edited April 25, 2022 by LZIp 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s an athlete playing on the OL and can play anywhere on the OL. He’ll have 1 year of eligibility left. It all starts up front and the Zips are going to surprise a lot of people this year.

I posted many times that we need to sign 2 experienced OL and we got Banes and Whigan. All of our returning offensive linemen were So or R-So, and with the covid year, this would have been their 3rd or 4th year, so there is no youth excuses. We have experience and with the good freshmen signings and Banes and Whigan to bridge the gap, the offensive line should be a strength for years to come.

The tape on Moore is off the charts. As long as grades aren't an issue, he could anchor our line for 4 years starting with his freshman year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LZIp Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 I love his tape (and we all the know the type of competition Massillon plays against) and we are his only FBS offer so far, so you'd have to think it would be us.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
