    Nice article Jeff.

    Wow, an 85-inch wingspan is roughly 7.08 feet. Considered a high-level measurement for football prospects, as in left tackles. This length is seen as a "freak" or elite trait.

    Off topic: Heard another Brock was in town - Brock Williams, rated the #2 TE in 2027. Reminds me a lot of Bowers. Just wondering if there was any news related to this recruit.

    Put him on defense. FG blocker

    He's very open to bigger offers, it would seem. I don't see us getting into a bidding war, so for that reason, I'm out!

    Other than his dimensions, I'm not seeing a great offensive lineman here.

    Said it for a while now. I highly doubt he ends up in our class. He once sounded very surreal sbout athens and heavy lean and almost committed!, but thr. Everything changed. If I had to bet id say he goes to miami. All thrse kids are enamored with thrm after this pasf season. How it goes. Im jusy over it bc half fhr kids in thr country the things they say about miami atent even true or dont make sense. Not with epelle I juzt felt the wind change. While back. He thinks they hVe the best oline coaches in fb. The recent success they had, the hige payday he will receive? They had a 6'8" or 9 guy that they make comparisons between. Just a ton of factiez. Oh that and he is coming out of douglas co. And I may be wrong about this but if feels like none of those guys ever come to georgia. Its like that side of the state had a lot of areas that actively do not loke uga or do everything g they csn to not go tbere it sucks bc im tired of seeing so many in-state kids sell out be nice if a higher percentage weren't doing that. He has tremendous upside. Whether he gets there idk bc ive never really been impressed by his aerial play, but i can see what coaches do. You can teach technique and that but you cant tea h size and he does have some good feet for that height. Just weak looking and not really ever moving anyone or finishing a block. Guess we will see hopefully we hold on to Kelseybc of possibility to missing most or all the in state ot like we hsve st edge and safety

    Unfortunately, this kid will not come to Athens. No doubt a bidding war will happen and the dawgs have proven they are unwilling to get into high stakes bidding (see loses to Texas, USC, Ohio State, Michigan, etc). Maybe it's not such a bad thing. This guy is so tall, how will he do against speedy, edge rushers? As he mentioned in the article, he has to learn to get his pads down so his legs are not cut out from under him. Can he do that? Who knows. I am intrigued about the comment of using him as a field goal blocker. LOL

    I honestly don't see how Gunner sees over and even around him… it was hard enough with guys 6" shorter. Go Dawgs!
