All Things Class of 2026 Gophers Football Recruiting Thread (Offers, Videos, Tweets, Rankings and More)


Can I ask the deep football minds something I am curious about. It seems that the coaching staff targets mostly taller bodies that more typically fit into the tackle position. I would say the taller bodies are typically harder to find so never a bad thing, but a problem with it seems with our run game is we don't get off the ball greatly to get any push and I feel like the shorter stout kind of body is better for that? I'm not upset by any means of getting these more highly ranked kids into the program especially since we never know which ones will pan out, but wouldn't one or two guys who are projected to be inside o-line type of bodies make sense?
I think we definitely have some issues with evaluation, but we are not alone in the Oline issues. Coaches have been over valuing length and reach for Oline for awhile.
