Any news on the progress of Howard Brown? He is from KC and played QB in high-school. Is an intriguing recruit for defensive line but have not heard much about his development.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Defensive line
- Thread starter constructor79
- Start date
Different player, but I’m really curious about what Blake Peterson brings opposite McDonald this year. I think he has a bigger year than people think.
He better. Uwazurike left some big shoes to fill. Coach Sheed has done a good job reloading.
Blake will be a stud.
Don't know specifically about Brown, but it sure seems to me coach sheed has turned a historically weak position group into a team strength, the Cyclone chain gang!!
I think the big thing is that there is some depth at the position. I remember some years before CMC if a starter went down or needed a rest, the other team would run right at the sub with huge success. Not so much the last 3-4 years.
Highest two recruits in that class were the RB’s. (Breece and J Brock)
Blake I believe was the third.
Whomever is opposite McDonald at DE needs to be good bc McDonald will get double teams on every series
I would guess that he has a lot of work to do, given he has limited DL experience. They have some really experienced guys in front of him in Lee and Singleton. And supposedly, Orange made some waves this spring. It would not surprise me if Brown was running 4th string right now at NG.
If I remember right Brown was pushing 330 when he got to campus (or something close to it, Rasheed said in an interview).
He’s behind a pair of good experienced guys on the interior. I’m still hopeful he can develop.
I think that Howard isn’t the only young athletic freak we have one the interior now—but he’s the one who has played the position the least of the three.
Give him some time, he’ll be fine.
Players, formations, plays.
Watching his highlights i never saw a push the pile type runner. After he's through the crease he's was a freaking freight train.
He's big enough that if he could get to the edge he'd make DB's think twice about trying to bring him down.
Y'all don't talk about Tyler Onyedim and Domonique Orange enough
Onyedim is sort of the forgotten man, which is strange, because the coaches have been saying really good things about him going back to last year. In fact, didn't they say he was good enough to take the redshirt off when he was a true freshman if they had to?
