Big body comes in with a big pedigree.

Like, maybe down the line it can work.

You don't panic about a tackle because it didn't work out in his first year starting.

Now, here's where maybe the low end of the gamble comes.

Let's say that you do roll snake eyes and, uh-oh, this didn't work out because, like I said, missed that freshman season with an injury.

He did miss pretty much every game after the first month of the season due to another leg injury.

And I'm sorry, I don't know if it was the same leg or not.

It wasn't to the extent of an ACL tear, but it was definitely one.

That's precisely what it was.

And those 18 snaps against Michigan, too.

So this kid's a gamer.

He wanted to come in and he wanted to make a difference in that big rivalry game.

Just never materialized here.

So, yes, somewhere inside that body is a four-star pedigree, a guy with a lot of experience.

Can it materialize?

Sure.

But injury issues and also in that first month of last season against Boston College, he let up, I think it was five or six pressures, a sack, and that's not necessarily a demon front four over there for Boston College.

So I'm hoping for the best for him.

I hope it can work.

It still absolutely can work.
