What do people on this forum think about incoming '26 OT Daniel McMorris? He also had offers from Arkansas, Wisconsin, Texas Tech, Iowa State, Stanford, etc.

"Intriguing offensive tackle prospect who may need time to physically develop, but displays impressive functional athleticism. Purportedly gained 50ish pounds from sophomore to junior years and appears to possess ample remaining frame space for requisite bulking capacity. Promising pass-pro context. Consistently finds a wide base and plays with lateral agility to neutralize edge speed. Effort blocker in the run game who will need to get stronger and clean up technique, but looks for as much work as possible and already tries to finish reps with conviction. Encouraging context in the bend vs. lean department. Nimble traveler when pulling or climbing. Has played basketball in the past and has a cousin who hoops at the D-I level. Might be a slower burn initially, but owns physical traits and natural athleticism to likely provide significant long-term developmental potential."
 






I haven't watched any of his highlights yet.

...I can say this: if he play OT, weighs 255 lbs, and is teetering on a four-star rating, then he is probably very athletic with a good frame.

Basically, if a team has to wait for you to physically grow into your position, then you will be denied a four-star rating -- almost no matter how good you are or will ultimately be.
 



I think he's the next Orlando Pace. Why do you ask, Ms. McMorris?

Edit: He's been on 3 official visits since committing to us. Not sure how "committed" he is ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
You're pretty close, @Ski-U-Ham. I am not Ms. McMorris, but work with Daniel's aunt, so partial credit is given where due.
