Portal Center

The league likes Lew and he's got a lot of good film from his first two seasons.

He probably won't be a first rounder like he was getting hype in the pre-season, but they like him.

I'm curious if a good NIL deal would help change his mind. He's a good football player who is playing good football for somebody next year.
 
Their has been like 2 Centers drafted in the 1st RD in the last decade or longer. Being a OL, I doubt he is back before August. Good luck to him.
 
Weird move for the kid coming off the ACL… does he make it as a day 2 pick coming off one? Seems like a weird move… come back get a nice NIL play without injury and solidify to a day 2 pick next year. But this kid doesn’t make smart decisions given our first go around and him picking auburn bc pLaNEs sChOOl

Agree
He was considered top 35idh previously
W injury, is he out of top 50?

Not sure he slides that much. And as an interior lineman, can he improve his stock that much?
If he can show he's physically ready, dont see need for another year

For perspective:
- 2025 Brockermeyer, 6'3" 295lbs, 71.5 Overall, 68.2 Run, 85.1 Pass (both slight improvements from his grade at TCU), 9 pressures on 500 pass snaps
- 2024 Carpenter, 6'5" 295lbs, 68.4 Overall, 60.8 Run, 81.3 Pass (Pass big improvement from his grade at IU), 8 pressures on 443 pass snaps
- 2023 Lee, 6'4" 295lbs, 79.0 OVerall, 73.7 Run, 89.1 Pass (Actually slight downgrades from his UCF in 2022, but better than 2021), 4 pressures on 434 pass snaps

Top Portal options:

- Jake Guarnera, Michigan. 6'4" 311lbs, 69.5 Overall Grade, 68.0 Run Block, 66.4 Pass Block. Allowed 11 pressures on 361 pass blocking snaps. BUT played RG for Michigan this year. Was also their backup center and received some snaps there. And I think was a center in HS as well. So this would be some projection

- Vincent Viacable, FAU. 6'4" 320lbs, 67.6 Overall PFF Grade, 61.4 Run Block, 81.1 Pass Block. Allowed 9 pressures on 661 pass blocking snaps, and only 1 sack.

Other than them? idk lol

I would like to land Guarnera

We've been hearing for two years that the staff really likes R-Rod, I would not be surprised if he is our starting center one bit next year.

@DMoney or anyone, is Francovilla a career jag? Hear anything there?
