Keegan was a huge get for this class
He plays in our local Fox Valley Conference
I have only seen him play a couple of times. He is not just dominant, but he has great footwork, quickness, strong hands. He is a true OT which is ALWAYS a need.
Outstanding Class
This is a VERY solid OL class. Rumler, Jones, Barnhardt and Keegan are great. Stewart and Carpenter show promise. If Hinton moves over to the OL (my pure reckless speculation) it could be a ridiculous OL class.
The depth creates the possibility it could be even better over time
Somethings Never Change
The game of college football has changed tremendously over the last 15 years, but the need for really big strong athletic Offensive and defensive linemen has only INCREASED. Now, if you don't have dominant talent and coaching on the lines your skill positions don't matter.
Weak Here, Weak Everywhere
It is still true you give me a great offensive line and I can find pretty good talent at the skills positions and you can still score a lot of points. When you are weak on the lines, the foundation of the team is built on sand. It crumbles easily
My Hope
My hope is we take 4 solid 4-star OL's every year, forever. We must always get at least 2 OT's because it is easier to move and OT to OG than the other direction.
This commitment makes me happy and optimistic.
You should be too.
