TE Alex Bauman commits to Miami

[TriStarCane]

Need to see what kind of blocker he is. We ask our TEs to block a ton, especially 1:1 on the edge and on wham blocks. Like all the time. Hope he can do it because he’s the guy

Blocking tight end/Red zone threat. Made to fill what Riley Williams would’ve done this year. Room should be 1. Lofton 2. Bauman 3. Shott

 

[Hegemon]

He's a nice pickup. We could use another one. Mario better hire a QB coach for Emory. I certainly don't believe Mario Cristabol's starting a TR FR over Emory. It is what it is at this point.

Cant help yourself ehh

 

[DMoney]

He's more of a receiver than a blocker right now, although he's willing.

Source raves about his hands and football mindset. Core special teamer as well.

I don't think he's replacing Arroyo by himself but he will help.

1) loften shott. Receiving role
2) bauman Gilbert blocking role

I'd bring in another blocking TE for cheap.

So how does he replace Riley

 

[90scane]

Do we move 9 to RB now?

He's going to be a unique weapon either way.

I'd like to see us add a cheap blocking TE unless Luka Gilbert and Brock Schott are way ahead of schedule in spring.

These kids gotta know we got a qb right ?

Would be a waste of his talents.

He's an H back. Let him line up all over the shop and cause mismatches (including taking the odd handoff).

I like the little I’ve seen of him, he looks very fluid and at ease with the ball in his hands.

I’d loved to pair him with his QB but that ship has sailed.

He's coordinated on the basketball court:

Don’t think he needs to replace Arroyo. That’s Lofton’s role in my eyes. Maybe slightly different usage.

Schott = 2024 Lofton and Bauman = 2024 Williams

Still missing a McCormick but that’s not a lot to ask for someone like Carver or Gilbert to try to do. Sneak through uncovered and catch a TD pass a few times and throw some nice blocks pulling or on the edge leading a tunnel screen or a RB off tackle. Lofton probably takes that role himself as well.

1) loften shott. Receiving role
2) bauman Gilbert blocking role

Bauman a + replacements for McCormick/Williams as inline receiving threat, but a - replacement as a blocker. If Carver/Gilbert aren't ready to be blocking inline TEs yet, I wonder if we don't see Samson (if he's still around after the Spring) as a sixth OL in short yardage like we saw his freshman year before he got hurt?

Not great. Pedestrian PFF blocking grades
