Becoming The Desperate Norm?


Feb 26, 2014, 3:17 PM

We got to recruit the tigerpit hogs for the trenches
consistently. We all now depth will only help us.
Hope Riggs can BEEF UP and hold it down.

He's a Walk-on, so it's worth a shot


Feb 26, 2014, 3:24 PM

Won't hurt us if this doesn't pan out. If it does, great. He's got the height, just needs to beef up.

I see an athletic long snapper who can get downfield and cover a lane on punt return.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Well he isn't going to see time at TE anytime soon


Feb 26, 2014, 3:23 PM

TE's have experience blocking and are generally athletic. A good frame to build an OT on. Worth a shot for the young man.

He may see more snaps at long snapper that in the offense.

Just from a historical perspective


Feb 26, 2014, 6:02 PM [ in reply to Well he isn't going to see time at TE anytime soon ]

In the Drew Brees era at Purdue, his left tacker, Matt Light (Tom Brady's longtime left tackle) came to Purdue as a 2* TE.

Nick Hardwick (longtime Charger center) was a walk on who didn't play high school football (he was a state wrestling champ).

Anyway, it doesn't hurt to roll the dice when there are no real consequences for missing.

I'm thinking more of a Special Teams snapper with his


Feb 26, 2014, 3:29 PM

body build. Our last ST snapper just graduated I believe.

I'm reminded of ole 54goof. If he's that good at long snapping we'll be fine.

Look out for Brad Tatkos (freshman walkon from Greenwood) who won the snapping contest for walkons earlier this year.

Feb 26, 2014, 3:39 PM

well he is only 50 LBS away from where he needs to be

badge-donor-15yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


That was last year's roster weight


Feb 26, 2014, 7:52 PM

I had heard back during the season that he would probably end up on the OL so I imagine he's been bulking up. MacLain was listed at 260 on the 2012 roster and at 295 on the 2013 roster so it's not like it would be unprecedented for someone to bulk up in a year.


On thing to think about is this....if he's got the ability to contribute at C that would free up either Norton or Guillermo at G, allowing us to put our best 5 on the field at the same time.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

JJ Watt and eric fisher started as walk on TE's***


Feb 26, 2014, 3:48 PM



flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

He wouldn't have seen PT for 2 years, most likely


Feb 26, 2014, 3:50 PM

Quicker for him to do this and address a need.

Clemson


Dang...wonder what PaPa Riggs is going to say? Whoo!


Feb 26, 2014, 6:45 PM

And he was one of Clemson's best at TE. GoTiGERS!
