Worth a look for sure. We have no idea what DT's may enter next portal. Plus if any good the price $ will be high , so why not. Obviously we are interested , and may get a coach from  The OSU 🤣 he is familiar with.

I get that we need bodies in the DT room, but serious question: is he even that good? Seems like Buckeye fans aren’t that upset by his departure. 

We just need depth at this point.

Some fans forget the contributions from Norton and Lole last season.  Don’t recall much fanfare when they committed.

This really is good news!  Would love to get some talent from that team. 

It’s also worth mentioning he hasn’t even played football for four years yet. Soccer until the fall of 2021.

I read other team sites through a different service, I can tell you the tosu site is predictable in that when a player leaves they instantly view them as a nobody.  Doesn't matter who it is, they'll try to convince themselves that so-and-so leaving is a good thing and there's a long line of all-americans waiting to jump in the portal to get to columbus. 

tOSU also didn't care that Joe Burrow and Jameson Williams left.

Unfortunately that’s not unique to tOSU site.   We do the same thing 🙄 for the most part

Hopefully, he can be a good starter at 3T until Terry fills out.

January will start at the 3 tech 

Should know something soon no matter. The 29 th Wednesday is the last day to add a class with approval. I know exceptions can be made for athletes in extraordinary cases, but still should know this week period. Full team workouts start tomorrow as well. We will see and hopefully good news coming🤘

Offensive and Defensive lineman also have the longest developmental curve of any position and sometimes breakout in their latter years.  So you never know.  Soccer player that is relatively new to football (like Christian Jones) that has OK stats (not great in his first years like Sweat) might just trend up in his final years with development and good coaching.  He was also behind NFL players on a national championship team at tOSU. Context matters 

 

Here's some of his high school highlights:

 

And a piece on him that NBC did for the All-American Bowl in 2022:
