Onyedim will play alot this year and Orange will get some run.
Orange's true weight right now is 365, but he needs to get down to 310 to be effective.
Howard is a great guy, but I think he may transfer at the offseason.

I moreso just don’t know much about Onyedim. He is bubbling up in the depth chart for a reason though. Curious what he brings.
As for Orange, I feel like he’s had a hype train rolling ever since spring practices started. I thought based on his issues coming out that he’d be more of a long term project. But he may be burning that redshirt this year.
Is Orange's weight the reason, other schools backed off him? I thought that schools backing out was part of his recruitment. 365 is pretty BIG.
No. Blake also comes from a great family.
I think if they can get him down to 325, he could be pretty effective. Not starting or playing a whole series effective, but coming in for spot snaps here and there to rush the passer. You can bet that Andrews will be slimming him down all summer. But even if he just comes in on 3rd and long, that's worth burning the redshirt.
I'd just like to see him cut out a lot of the bad fat. He is extremely explosive even at 365. Losing 50 lbs will make him All-Big 12 level next year. He's an animal
Where are you pulling this 365 number from?
Guess we’ll find out when the roster gets updated, but I’d guess that’s off by a bit.
talked to a guy on the team. dont trust any of those roster numbers. its fugaze.
Funny, that bad fat is probably the reason why he's here and not in the SEC. I have full faith that Andrews can get him into the right playing weight, whatever that ends up being. It might be a couple year process though.
That's a big factor in it.
........ and having these guys on your high school line to steal the tackles doesnt help.

The way this NIL and portal are going I wouldn’t worry about Redshirt’s anymore!
That's a good point. Probably changes the strategy for holding guys out. If someone is good enough to get snaps, you play them.
