OL

[Shooter McGavin]

I think Miami probably has the biggest OL group in the country. Bell is 6’9, Cooper 6’6, Brock 6’3, McCoy 6’6, and Francis 6’6. Then off the bench are Samson and Kinsler at 6’6 and Rodriguez 6’3. No idea what the updated weights are but I’d guess everyone except Brock and Rodriguez are over 325.

This is the one area I will never question Mario about.

I figured as much, too. But after some googling, looks like pretty much every top 25 team has projected starting offensive line averages around 6’4-6’5 and 310-330 lbs

I think we recruited so many small lineman under past staffs that a normal looking top 25 oline looks foreign to us

Yea right like 2019 starting guys like Corey Gaynor, Scaife, and Zion Nelson who was 6’6 like 260.

Both lines as position groups are the most important and we at least have 1.5 figured out. We have currently and consistently had great defensive ends, edge rushers etc.

This line with the backups is looking better than I expected and I expected it to be good. Let's pray we stay healthy. I heard Mirabal finally gave some detail on McCoy getting injured in Fall camp and playing the full season injured. He had surgery the day after the bowl game. You can't talk about these things. Mario is probably freaking out about the basic ACC availability injury report this season.

Manny had his slip n slide, yachts, and crashing coaches meetings with Bud Lights. And to top it all off 7th string DT’s dancing on the sidelines while losing.

Thats pretty much where you have to be for high level D1

 

[Shooter McGavin]

Two mountains. Yea they listed McCoy as 290 last year lol yea ok. They’ll probably say he’s 295 this year.

At least 3 guys from this line will be drafted in 2026 NFL Draft (4 if Matthew McCoy decides to enter the draft). I really believe this is the most talented and deepest offensive lineman Miami has had since the 01 Natty team.

According to David Lake, seven of the past 12 teams with three offensive lineman drafted, in the following NFL draft since 2019, have made a College Football Playoff appearance. Three of those teams went on to win a National Championship: 2023 Michigan, 2020 Alabama, and 2019 LSU.

Heights and weights, according to coaches, from various interviews.
LT Markel Bell SR 6-9 345
LG Matthew McCoy RJR 6-7 330
C James Brockermeyer RSR 6-3 295
RG Anez Cooper SR 6-6 325
RT Francis Mauigoa JR 6-6 340

First off the bench
LT/LG Samson Okunlola RSO 6-6 325
C/G Ryan Rodriguez RJR 6-2 305
RT Tommy Kinsler RSO 6-6 340

Average 6-6 325

Mirabal would rather miss on a certain body type than take a small guy. He's very similar to Stoutland in that regard. Kehoe was great, but towards the end we'd have one 400-pound overweight guard and another 255-pound kid.

And that was after putting on 40 lbs between signing day and the Florida game. Zion was 220 lbs when he committed.

Christ on a bike. You won’t find really any 220 lb OL in high school anymore.

I think Zion was a tight end in HS.

Matthew McCoy was a TE in HS too.
