East Tennessee State OL Transfer Johnathan Cline transferring to Miami

He grew up on a farm and his dad is like a 3rd generation farmer. We don't get these types very often.

What’s your observations about this guy?

What’s your observations about this guy?

He has the size and physicality to play at this level but I'm not sure if he's good enough. Maybe rotational or hoping he can be here next year and get into the rotation.

He missed time at ETSU in spring and camp due to a nagging/annoying injury and ended up being the starter at LG but he wasn't in top playing shape and rotated at times early on because of it. He almost got McNamara killed by letting a blitzer go by and basically lost his job to a 6'1 275 pounder - not because he wasn't the better player - but because the Center and the other guy had better communication and camaraderie and he couldn't get on the same page.

I think he's a practice body and he may challenge for a spot in the 7th-8th man type of role. Next year he may squeak into a guard spot depending on how the roster shakes out. At worst, its a 6'4 320 pounder that physically belongs at this level.

I welcome that kind of body type. He's going to get the coaching, could make the difference.

We need bodies for practice so that’s the floor on this. Best case he’s a rotational guy and helps depth.

with the amount of depth guys we lost i think him being a back end depth kind aguy ont he cheap isnt so bad.

Im hoping we add one more as well. Not expecting much here but bringing in depending how he improves with the s&c and coaching could still help in ways especially if he beats out a guy...which means i would tell tht guy to hit the portal next off szn opening up money either way.
