Jordan Seaton to Portal to Knoxville Car Wreck Guy (LSU)

[LuCane]

with him now having seaton and blah the guard from maryland thats atleast 2 really good pass blockers i dont think bah gave up a sack last year i was hoping we gave him a look.

There is two fcs ol i identified that i think could play here...but these guys are from north dakota and freakin montana and been loyal and basically the opposite of Miami lol

We should have recruiting dpept guys scouting fcs qb targets every year...there are qbs there to be had n they wouldnt even be expensive.

I already suggested you for the job. You can go watch FCS playoffs all over the country and be a food blogger. You once said you’d do the job for a pass to the training table where DVD got stone crab claws. How about free airfare and a spending budget of 2k/week for food and hotel. Your food blog would crush. ‘this spicy bison sandwich in Montana state is almost as good as their LG is in pass pro.’

Figured you had to be young. Well I mean I’m not old either but it’s hard to say who the very best is but from when I was a pup guys like Julius peppers and Dwight freeney was monsters

Derrick Thomas is the best college DE in my lifetime.

 

[Alex_Dynamix]

In my eyes he is but I’m a younger guy and a huge homer lol. I’m curious who you think is the best? Not trying to be combative, just genuinely wondering

In my lifetime of watching college football I’d say, Clowney, Chase Young, Myles Garrett, & Rueben Bain.

 

[htownkidd]

$8M over 2yrs prob tho... And the rumors were they were asking for $4M

Doubt he's getting $2.5M even

I guarantee they are thinking 1 year and NFL bound. And yeah, I stated the other day that he isn’t getting 4 either.

Anyway, I’m done w it. Get Mensah and get to cooking with what ya got. No excuses.

Yea that’s a little before my time but I definitely know about him

You in your 20’s?

 

[ssvir]

We’re losing maybe the greatest college DE ever, and one of the most productive pass rushers in the last 5 years opposite to him. To say this year’s DL will be better just because of the amount of 5 stars is incredibly premature.

kinda figured this would be the case once Lane and Lanning flew to Atlanta to meet up with him while we got no word of mario doing the same. no doubt this kid wanted his ego stroked on top of the large nil money

 

[NateDogg]

Example?

Cause aint no way this kid got $8M, and anyone who believes that shouldn’t be allowed to vote.

I agree…I read that as they asked for $8 million as their counter and got laughed at.

Mario is a **** of a recruiter with no quit, but I don't think he is going to stoop to chasing down a player to stroke their ego like Kiffin and Lanning. I feel he sees this and starts cooling off on them. Not a player to have on your team.

 

[CaneLos]

OL now weakest unit on team outside of TE and maybe LB? Not ideal

Which to me is a red flag coming from an olineman. With that type of mentality he’ll be exposed in the SEC.

 

[frank1886]

Y’all are questioning Mario & Maribal about OL? We haven’t had a bad OL play since both of them got here and I’m not worried. They have earned the benefit of doubt.

 

[Hstokes1447]

I’m an optimist, and it’s Hard to not see OT as a miss this offseason

I think McCoy is going to be a present surprise to everyone.

 

[Hstokes1447]

**** that’s a huge loss for us. Needed all three and needed LT to be elite to make another run vs playoff teams. This will hurt us in the upcoming season that will still be a successful season.

No it will not. I am willing to bet right now that Miami will have a top 5 offensive line in the nation by playoff time. Mark my words McCoy will be one best tackles in the conference and he will be drafted in the 27 draft.

 

[58straight]

Terrell Suggs had 24 sacks

Simeon Rice was a beast as well I think he had around 45 career sacks

 

[Fightinibis]

Why?

Second year of Hetherman, returning almost everyone in the Dbackfield, loaded Dline.

Possibly an upgrade at QB, RBs returning, loaded WR room if they land Barkate.

If they're able to field an above average o line this team should be a championship contender again.

That’s the way I see it, without championship contender part, but ****, I said the same thing before the year.

Sure, you lose guys like Bain, Mesidor, Sisi, Coop, Bell, Scott…serious veteran presence that you cannot replace to that level, but we aren’t exactly replacing them with 3 star rooks…..hold on to some coaching continuity and we can compete with most IMO.

 

[bornagaincane]

Mario and Meribal must earn their OL reputation this year. Bringing in a stud QB with no proven tackles. Fresh man right tackle and no position experience on left tackle.

When we had Ward in 2024, we didn’t have a defense. When we had a defense in 2025, we didn’t have a trusted QB in Beck and lost a championship. Now in 2026 looks like we get a trusted QB in Mensah and good defense, but no trusted Oline protection. We need to put all these together.

We are always working hard late. We seem to always lose to LSU and Texas. After 5 championships, we were arrogant in not improving our facilities and investing in football and we fell behind. I hope we are not arrogant again thinking that we are Oline U and refuse to pay what the current market demands for our position of need. If you don’t pay, someone else will. You can label it desperation or suck tax or whatever, but you will be left behind.

 

[chris2183l]

Not sure why you aren’t big on him. He’s been a good player. Better pass blocker than run but still good. He’s built more like a tackle being 6’6-6’7 but they needed him at guard.

How do you see this OL shaking out? Any in the portal unsigned that we might flip? If mensah and barkate end up here i feel pretty good about most of the roster but im concerned about OL...feels like Okunlola and McCoy hold down Guard spots, Cantwell likely RT then what. Rodriguez at Center? Injuries issues can he hold up and make it a full yr? And then who the heck plays LT?

 

[gogeta4]

He said he wants to support a coach his color . Yet goes with kiffen over Mario . He not got it between the ears . Can’t wait to see how him and levit are together once they lose a game or two .

Boy use to losing he played at colorado this year.... hes rich it doesnt matter lol
