2027 Mark Matthews 5* OL from STA Flips to UGA from TAMU 2.0

[skyman]

I’d bet anything Samson is back next year. Really hasn’t capitalized these past few weeks on a terrific start with a lot of people talking up his draft prospects.

Im just hoping he can hold his anchor this weekend..

we need to portal a center..which wouldnt even be costly. So 2 portal lineman at minimum one being a tackle in my opinion.

Remember we offered a juco ot thats essentially portal too.

SJ?

SJ?

sj plays guard.

Cmon he’s gotta be our center next year. Not hating on him, but that’s the right position for his career

I been hating his play all year. Sorry, not sorry. I am shocked Cantwell has not beat out SJ keeping it real

 

[doctor dingleberry]

SJ has been fine the last few weeks

 

[Dwinstitles]

SJ has been fine the last few weeks

He played so bad early and his size makes me think we have to get a G anyway, he can regress when competition ups. So get someone just in case

 

[LoyalCane24]

I was hatin on big coming but if he can get STA back **** it.

The final infinity stone is the succ stone

 

[Brooklyndee]

sj plays guard.

Plan for sj has always been center. He just struggles with snapping up to this point. You know the most important part.

Samson and Cantwell would be freak shows at both tackle spots. Cogden be a monster in is second year. I really believe SJ could be NFL prospect st center, let us get a monster portal RG and our o-line looking phenomenal for 2027. I can't even imagine that with the skill position talent we bring in

Also getting Max back to push for the RG position. I think next seasons OL doesn’t need a portal starter, but I would like to see the staff add 2 portal guys to add to the depth and competition

I really like that JUCO OT Dorian Williams, at 6-8 290 he moves really well

He has looked solid snapping in games when he has played center this season

Big difference between looking solid & looking like a starting center...

I understand that, but we have a full spring and offseason to figure that out. I also believe Rhys Woodrow is talented enough to provide real competition for SJ. If SJ doesn't get his snapping up to a starter level standard, then we already have someone on the roster capable of stepping in and taking that starting position.

Can Buchanan snap?

 

[786Cane]

The amount of “wanting to FLIP this zesty dude” in this thread is hilarious!!

Flip in which way fellas ?

Agree. I'm standing in the paint on this one!

 

[561Cane]

Can Buchanan snap?

No idea but Woodrow can and does. Don't sleep on this pup. He's the future C if SJ doesn't step it up next Spring.

MY CANE BROTHER WE NEED THE SAME MINDSET FOR DLINE ALSO AT LEAST TWO STARTED TYPE DTS AND ONE DE OR ELSE THAT DLINE MIGHT BE LOOKING SPOKEY NEXT YEAR LIKE OUR OLINE THIS YEAR

The staff seems to like Woodrow and Pickett on the interior. Congdon is locked in.

Between congdon, max, SJ, Pickett, Woodrow we should easily have a starting 3 interior.

Samson comes back. Now figure out a right tackle. If Cantwell ain’t it go figure it out. GABOS

That’s like saying Malik Rosier was a pretty good QB, except when it came to throwing.
