Fall Camp & Depth Chart

483

Below is my depth chart. I think it’s the best team we can field. Bold names are guys who are primed to move up the depth chart in camp and/or guys I prefer over the mainstream, consensus pick for that position.

Offense:

QB: Gebbia, Noyer
RB: Fenwick (Baylor as pass catcher, but Lowe should make a move here).
WR: Harrison, Beason, Bradford (Dunmore needs to play, so 4WR sets and/or subbing him in often). Tongue in the same boat. Lindsey is still in the mix with an attitude adjustment and consistent hands.
TE: Overman (Musgrave was a good prospect but hasn’t shown much, and Overman is a potential beast. If he has a good camp, start him). Either guy is an offensive upgrade.
C: Eldridge
OT: Kipper, Gray
OG: Keobounnam, Levengood

Defense:

DT: Schad, Skelton
DE: Hodgins, Sandberg, Lolohea, Shippen, Reichner (Lolohea could be a breakout)
ILB: Roberts, Speights
OLB: Gumbs, Sharp, Hughes-Murray, McCartan (note: Gumbs likely gets hurt again). Kady a guy to watch in camp.
S: Julian, Grant, Arnold (huge fan of Julian thinks he makes a big difference).
CB: Wright, Jones, Grant (Jones will be interesting could be very good).

Special Teams:

PT: Loecher? No clue.
PK: Hayes
PR: Bradford
KR: Lindsey

General Thread

346

Let’s go general here.

Some ideas from the prior thread: recruiting, baseball.

Also, Fall camp starts August 6th, which will be here before we know it. It might be the last year of watchable football before NIL can start doing max damage.

July Recruiting

651

The last thread was getting long.

Let’s moving things here. Keeping with the recruiting theme (thanks, NUC) here’s a list of guys NB has mentioned or are favorable on 247.

Kord Shaw – RB/WR/ILB

Jack Belling – TE

Keith Olson – OL

Zeke Berry – DB

Lorenzell Dubose – DB

Audavion Collins – DB

Jeremiah Earby – DB

Carson Tabaracci  – Ath (hasn’t visited and has 20 something offers, unlikely) Sterling Lane – LB (Announcing top 5 this week) Shakaun Bowser – LB Mathias Malaki-Donaldson – LB Lance Holtzclaw – LB Mason Graham – DL Kyle Thompson – DL

June Recruiting (Part 2)

Last thread was acting sluggish so I’m setting this one up as a continuation.  I guess that guy we were all excited about, 4* David Bailey is no longer planning to visit?  He doesn’t have an online presence so it’s tough to know for sure.  Could be Nemec is wrong.  Nemec also doesn’t list 4* DE Sterling Lane II, but I’ve confirmed he is indeed still coming.  Will update on Bailey if I learn anything more.

More visitors this weekend and the next:

Damien Martinez – RB (commit)

Keith Olson – OL

Lorenzell Dubose – CB

Zeke Berry – CB

Sterling Lane II – DE

Mathias Malaki-Donaldson – DE/OLB

Lance Holtzclaw – DE/OLB

Colston Loveland – TE

Ian Massey – JUCO S

Next weekend:

Roger Carreon – OL

Mason Graham – DB

Audavion Collins – CB

Carlos Mack – DT

June Recruiting

428

The NCAA moratorium on scheduled campus visits has ended.  I don’t know the exact date, but when things shut down in March 2020, they have remained off limits until June 1st 2021.

With all of the 2021 class who missed out on visits, plus 2022 recruits finally able to hit campuses, this will be a busy month for OSU and every other team.

I’ll try to keep a running tab on updates as they come through this week.  I wouldn’t read a whole lot into the unofficial vs official visits.  Most local guys are coming on unofficial visits, only because it doesn’t make a ton of sense to use up an official visit when you can easily drive a few hours to see campus.  This way they can save their official visits for further away locations, if needed.  They also could still come to OSU later in the fall to catch a game on an official visit.

So far, week 1 visitors include(subject to change):

June 1st:

Demarcus Houston – 2023 CB from Albany, OR (unofficial)

June 2nd:

Kage Casey – 2022 OL from Clackamas, OR (unofficial)

June 4th – 6th:

Jerrale Powers – 2022 TE/WR from Duncanville, TX

Quincy Wright – 2022 DT from Duncanville, TX

Jimmy Valsin – 2021 WR Commit from Duncanville

Easton Mascarenas – 2021 LB Commit from Mission Viejo, CA (unconfirmed at this point)

Cole Prusia – 2022 WR Commit from Tualatin, OR (unofficial)

Jason White – 2021 OL Commit from Orange, CA

Dave Iuli – 2022 OL from Puyallup, WA (unofficial)

Hudson Cedarland – 2022 OL from Gig Harbor, WA (unofficial)

Jack Velling – 2022 TE from Seattle, WA (unofficial)

Mark Nabou – 2022 OL from Seattle, WA (unofficial)

Ian Hershey – 2022 K from Idaho (unofficial)
