Need to start closing on the prospects who we're viewed as the leader for currently, haye & rodriguez specifically speaking. I expected recruiting to be a bit slow during the pandemic but it's time to pick it up now in May and summer.

247 staff comparing him to Jalar Holley. Either they like his dance moves or those guys don’t know **** about football.

The bigger a DT is, the more space he occupies across the line. Smaller DTs can get swallowed up which leads to big gaps. There is a reason the NFL and bigger schools typically have big, war daddy DTs. There is a trade-off in leverage once you get in that 6’5 range which is why you rarely see Daryl Gardener and Marcus Stroud-types.

Smaller DTs like Grady Jarrett can still be successful if they are great athletes.

Don't those war daddies usually play in a 3-4 or some other gap control defense? If you run an attacking 4-3, I think a DT that is heavy enough to avoid getting pushed around but quick enough to get in the backfield can work just as well, even if he's under 6'2".
