• 0:39
  Speaker 1: The buck guys had in a handful of really impressive
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: offensive linemen this week.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: I wanted to talk about.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Some of those guys, some names to know for the
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty eight class. Tony, this is sort of our
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: first look at a lot of these twenty twenty eight
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: offensive linemen. They're a pretty good shape with the twenty
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: twenty seven class twenty twenty eight, though no lineman committed
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: so far, only two commits overall. First, we got to
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: talk about a guy from a not exactly a pipeline
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: state for Ohio state, at least until kind of recently,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: state of Alabama, Top one hundred offensive lineman, Samuel Bailey.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this was a guy that I initially he was
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: not one of the names that I was aware of
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: to watch that was going to be there. But as
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: you're watching a couple of names that we'll talk about,
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: this guy kept showing up and you're like, well, but
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: who is this guy? And then finally got a name
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: later on. But he looks very well put together, moves well,
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: listed at six five sixty six, three hundred pounds, and
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: doesn't doesn't look like he needs to add or drop,
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: even though he'll get he'll get bigger, Like, there's not
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: a lot of flaws when you just look at him,
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: and then you know, talking with him afterwards, things are
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: very very early with him. The fact that you've got
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: a kid from Alabama up here in the first place
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: was a little bit of a coup, I think. And
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: he said he had a great time and it was
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: learning something on every rep and taking that back with him.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: So it's still very early. He mentioned some leaders or
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: teams that he's interested in from the Southeastern Conference Ohio State.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: We'll see if they can get into the mix. But
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: I mean it's never a bad sign when they're up
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: here for camp season for sure.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're making that trip on your own dime. It
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: is kind of a hall and so if you're making
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: that trip, you are generally there's probably at least some
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: genuine interest there. We will let you hear the whole
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: interview with Samuel Bailey after this show. We'll have it.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: You're sort of in the same file. You'll get to
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: hear that afterwards. You'll also get to hear from Anthony
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Blaylock after this episode. He's a twenty twenty eight four
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: star out of Youngstown, a little closer to home. He
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: was another guy who he was someone we knew and
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: you looked at him and went, yep, that is someone
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: who is a potential Ohio State target for sure. He
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: is you know, big, moves very well, takes to coaching
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: very well as well, and you know, talking to him afterwards,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: he really I think enjoyed working with Tyler Bowen and
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: some of the other offensive line coaches during sort of
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: getting a sense for what that's going to be like
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: during practices, to really see, you know, what life might
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: be like if you were playing for these guys in
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: a few years. He said this was his first camp
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: that he did so far, this month his first visit
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: as well, said he has upcoming visits to LSU, Tennessee,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Texas Tech, and Florida. Those are the ones that he listed.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: So those are, you know, again, very early in the process.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Nothing imminent, I don't think there, but certainly a name
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: probably the top in state offensive.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: Lineman for sure.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: For twenty twenty eight, Anthony Blaylock had a visitor from
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: southern New Jersey right across the river Camden, New Jersey,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: right across the river from Philly, Aton Diolio. He was
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: a twenty twenty eight four star. What did you see
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: out of him?
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: A big kid, big lower base and powerful and yeah,
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: that was another guy that I didn't know his name
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: going in and you're like, well, bokay, but who's that guy?
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: And so didn't get to talk to him afterwards, but
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: they were several times Tyler Bowens telling me a great
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: rap good job and he's pretty physical guy, so I
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: think they liked what they saw from him, and he
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: moved well. Like I said, he just he looks like
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: a strong kid.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Next up, ty Davis Winn. This is one that we
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: did have on our list beforehand and a name that
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: you probably have heard if you've been paying attention. He's been,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: you know, pay attention to recruiting coverage. He has been
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: sort of around the Ohio state orbit, a little bit
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: out of eastern Pennsylvania. Another twenty twenty eight four star.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: He was another guy who you looked and went, yep,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: that is someone who's going to play offensive line at
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: a pretty pretty high level at the at the college level.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and there's a lot that you can still do
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: with him because he's listed at you know, six seven
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: or so two hundred and fifty five pounds, and you
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: could tell it the frame is going to have to
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: get bigger, but also the shoulders I think are there
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: to handle it. But yeah, he strength is going to
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: be an issue in terms of him ready, but he's
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: entering his junior year when when camp gets going for them.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: So a lot to like there, but somebody that's gonna
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: have to get bigger, and of course obviously he will,
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: but it's always interesting where you've got like the Nicholas
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: petite Freres who are they have to work their way
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: up to be in two hundred and ninety five pounds
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: as opposed to the guys who already are, and they still
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: have to also be reshaped when they get to college.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: Whether that three twenty is good or bad, I think
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: coaches would rather see you come in at two ninety
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: and then give you the three twenty or the three ten,
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: rather than necessarily come into with a three ten and
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: they've got to take you down to two ninety just
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: to get you back up to three ten.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: It's funny you mentioned Nick petite Frere because that was
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: exactly the comp that I was thinking of, because I
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: remember seeing him at camp way back when and thinking like, well,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: if this kid can never grow, he really could grow
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: into something, and he obviously did and turned into a
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: very good player at the college level. So ye had
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: not the plenty you've worked there to do. But obviously
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: you're an offensive line you are going to spend a
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: year or two before you're ready to get on the
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: field at the college level, regardless of who you are so, Yeah,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: that is not an insurmountable obstacle by any means. Last
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: name I wanted to talk about was Colin Burris. He
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: is a twenty twenty eight as well. He's out of Marysville.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: He is probably you know, he's probably a little bit
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: lower on the board at least for now. Still obviously
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: quite a ways to go, but he's Yeah. I looked
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: at him and I thought that is someone who they
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: could absolutely bring into the class with sort of the
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: philosophy they've had in recruiting and in state recruiting on
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: the offensive line. He looks a lot like the caliber
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: of prospect they've been bringing in the last couple of cycles.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Talking with somebody, they were just discussing looking for
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: a unique trait from each of these guys, and I
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: think maybe they're still looking for that from Colin. But
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: to me, there's every opportunity for him to end up
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: playing on the interior wherever he goes. But also the
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: effort was definitely there today he was working. It's always
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: interesting when you look at these Ohio kids and one
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: of the questions you have to ask is do you
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: want to let them go and then have to play
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: against them or see somebody else succeeding with them. And
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: now in the era of the nil that it is,
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: I think in the era that the rosters are in now,
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: you can go ahead and keep those guys or try
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: to keep those guys in state and see how things
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: work out and go from there. Or of course you
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: can also let them leave and if they turn out
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: to be really, really good, then you can try to
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: bring them back. But he was one of the guys
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: we were watching stay and no reason to be disappointed
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: into what we saw.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely, And you've still got two years of high
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: school left for all of these guys. These are all
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty eight guys, so they are halfway through their
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: high school career. Still a long way to go till
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: you get to signing day for any of them. And
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: five names worth knowing for sure, And there will be
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: more guys coming in next week as well. Probably have
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: a whole separate offensive line show next week.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Is that's going to be.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: It was lots of defensive linemen earlier in the week.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Pretty good crop of offensive linemen this time, and so
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: we'll have and we'll have another camp show coming for
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: you coming up tomorrow before I let you go, want
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: to remind you of two things. One is that you're
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: going to after the show here interviews. The first one

  Speaker 1: one hundred lineman out of Alabama. The second one was

  Speaker 1: with Anthony Blaylock, he is the four star out of Youngstown.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: And those are just gonna they're kind of quick, quick interviews,
