Laremy Tunsil was a freshman All American at Ole Miss playing tackle and he didn't enroll until a month before the season. Both were ranked similar in HS. I think we will be just fine with Hyatt.

Clemson offense is different type of offense!
fast paced, up tempo and being a little lighter helps than being a donkey that cant get to the line in time
Mitch will be play this year at around 285- 290lb , but will be in great shape which does make a difference

Technique-wise, there's no comparison. Hyatt is worlds better than Tunsil. Now. Not just coming out of school. Tunsil's all over the place, still, with his hand placement and he still doesn't bend at the knees as well as you'd like. I wince a bit watching Tunsil because he should be the first pick in the draft. He's that rare a specimen, and makes Michael "Blind Side" Oher look like Urkle.
Tunsil's just so durn quick for his size, and so immensely strong, he can get away with so-so technique. Usually. I have seen guys get under his pads and roller-skate him...again, Tunsil plays too high.
Completely, utterly different players. Tunsil was a raw War Daddy who was the most physically talented LT of the last 3-4 years. Hyatt's a very good prospect physically, but it's how astoundingly polished he is in terms of technique and assignment that makes him such a rare duck. My concern with Hyatt is he'll get physically outmatched in certain games.

From what I've heard Hyatt has added a good bit of size and is now at a heavier playing weight than Battle. We'll see how his strength is but from watching him dominate the best DE prospects in the country two years in a row in high school I believe he'll do just fine so long as he picks up the playbook.

Battle wa about 40 pounds heavier. It's obvious when you

watch the Spring game video that Battle was considerably larger, especially the lower body strength. Hard to tell with pads on about the upper body, but Battle is just a much larger man at this point.

Give me a guy his size who has quick hands, quick feet, great technique and a nasty streak any day! If you watch his films, this guy has a nasty streak and determination in his craft! He takes beating his man personally, getting beat is not an option to him, and that trumps size! I realize his film was high school talent, but I think this kid is smart and through film study he will find the weaknesses of his opponents and exploit those weaknesses!
Go Tigers!!!!!!

Three of the four teams in the national playoff last year started true freshman tackles and two were left tackles.
We're DOOMED!

Re: Tunsil was not 335 as a Frosh. He was around 295-300

Tunsil is currently listed as 305. Also, Battle is 22 years old and I think Hyatt is 18.

Everything was great until that last comment. I think he will do great but he is a freshman. I think by the Third game he will be ready to go. He gives us our best chance to win now and in the future. I hope he stays 4 years.
I bet he is working his tail off! Go Mitch!
Go Tigers!
