2025 OL commits thus far (anyone have a scouting analysis?)

[ben]

I admittedly have no clue what I am watching when I watch OL tape. For those in the know, any evals for Wilkerson, Campbell and Meux? Who has the highest ceiling, who has the best immediate impact potential, and what positions do we envision each at?

Wilkerson I’ve only seen on the basketball court and he doesn’t play below the rim he plays below a child size rim. Campbell has good feet size and aggression. But he’s also new to the sport. Muex looks like a big malling guard who’s underrated. I think his film is the best. Has the best technique out of the 3 also. I would be shocked if we don’t focus on two lineman to add to these 3 that are more ready to play. I’m not Kirk Ferentz when it comes to lineman, but that’s my take.

Pretty fair take too.

Campbell and Wilkerson are both projects. Both are new to the position. I believe both have basketball experience, which generally means good feet. They're both enormous and you can't coach size. Given what we currently have on the roster at OL, neither is playing for at least a couple years, which I think is a good thing for college OL.
I haven't seen much on Meux, so I will defer.
I think our main focus on OL recruits right now is SJ Alofatuli from Gorman and maybe flipping Solomon Thomas.

Let’s be fair also. There’s kids like Francis who are ready to start from jump. Not many are like him. Samson as a 5 star freshman who played sparingly and hurt. What I’m saying is, 98% of high school lineman regardless of rankings need to be coached up and take time. Mario had a commitment from Connor Lew. 3 stars. He’s been a top center since arriving. Sometimes it’s not an exact science.

Totally agree.
Also, as has been stated by many others on here, I trust Cristobal and Mirabal when it comes to evaluating and assessing OL prospects.

Yes sir!
