Another portal OT coming for a visit

if that's true, I wish the kid luck. if it's here, that's great.

if anyone has ever been to the reservation in Shiprock, NM, where he went to high school, you know very few get out in a meaningful way.

sad and brutal place.
I have some friends who taught for several years on the rez. Same report from them.

Plus, he'll be 22 years old by the time spring ball is out. It never hurts to have a 22-year-old OT who has succeeded in college football, albeit at a lower level.

And he blocked for Diego Pavia during the 2023 season, his all-conference season.

Is it anything like Las Cruces? Or Las Vegas NM? If so yes it’s a small miracle his life isn’t crap.

it is significantly worse than both, if you can believe that.

Shiprock, NM might be the literal worst ZIP code on US land.
 
new mexico st went 3-9 and played one single P4 team - texas A&M - losing that game 38-3 while giving up 2 sacks and 10 tfl and throwing for a whopping 92 yards on 7/23 passing

in other words, not really.
New Mexico St is perennially terrible. Much more excited about the Alabama guy.
 
You and Kong are two peas in a pod. Michigan and USC are both after this
Kid.
What, by rightly recognizing the vast difference in competition level from New Mexico St to Alabama? I remember watching some New Mexico St games in the past. They're like a high school team.
 
Crickets suggest the price of the Alabama OT is increasing and this one probably is as well. However in the NFL offensive tackles are among the most expensive employees so it makes sense that we won’t get either guy without a lot of competition.

Or our staff wasn’t enamored with him on the visit.
