Jimothy Lewis (OL) is expected to commit today or tomorrow to Bama will add much needed depth in that area could push for starting role inside at guard, IMO could be our LG option but will likely be in a battle there
Breakdown of the film here:
I like him vs the run, he's very quick for an OL player, pulls very well and knows how to identify his block and attacks the block in the run game with strength and movement. Needs to play with a better base, sometimes falls over, but does always seem to get his block for the run game side.
Pass pro needs some work. He's doing well and engaging the blocks but he's "catching" as people like to put it in a lot of situations, he'll get bull rushed or swam/clubbed giving the defender that much space. Kick back, and engage, if the defender is sagging off like that be violent with your hands more instead of catching him into your chest attack his chest and disrupt his momentum.
I still like him has a guard option for our pulling game and he'll have an easier time in Pass pro inside IMO, he feels like an aggressive road paver, would pair well with Peak on the left side IMO if we get Peak.
Bama is after Mercer Safety Carmelo O'Neal he is scheduled to visit tomorrow most teams after him see him as a DB transfer not a safety (This may be good, may mean Bray Hubbard is leaning towards returning for another year. Safety class is deep this year and Saab is coming back too)
Bama just offered Tony Diaz out of UT Rio Grande Valley - He is expected to garner some attention, already visited Illinois and Kentucky, going to Iowa soon also. Supposedly he'll be a possible target for more schools as well.
Ethan Stangle (ST/LS) - Likely to commit today or tomorrow the best long snapper in the portal. Bama bound.
