So 2021 was basically treated as Henicke's redshirt year for football too? Not sure we have the full story on why Seymore sat out 2023. Seems odd that he left Miami as a RS Fr. part-time starter to for the greener pastures of...Akron. Posters have hinted he may have been getting his shit together in some way. And also potentially that transfer rule for leaving outside the window. Regardless, he started playing in 2021 (redshirt year) so the 5 year clock would be the same as Heinecke. I guess one difference is that mid-career year completely off?
Weird. This makes it sounds like he just had a series of clerical screwups and left outside of a normal transfer window, and they're saying that required sit-out year still counts? If true that does seem unique. Not sure what to make of his chances from that
If it’s Sark, why isn’t this happening at ANY other position? They quickly pivoted after losing Plan A at RB and LB. They landed Plan A at WR, TE, CB, DT. IOL is the only position group that was blatantly mishandled and were supposed to believe it’s not on Flood? Please.
Miami's 2nd string LT and RT are in the portal, interestingly. MOR OTs! On a serious note, I'd probably take a second string OG from Cristobal over whatever Flood currently has cooking
The Chambliss case is filed in some court near Oxford with a judge who got his law degree from Ole Miss and played QB at some small school somewhere...gee I wonder how objective he'll be
Found this in a free On3 article - "Siani, the Demon Deacons’ starting left tackle in 2025 after two seasons with Temple, entered the transfer portal this morning. He logged 853 snaps on the blindside this past season. He had an offensive grade of 72.8, a run blocking grade of 66.8, and a pass-blocking grade of 80.7. He was charged with nine pressures allowed but zero sacks in 2025." That pass grade is similar to Seaton. Run block grade much better than him
I feel like this is getting overlooked on the boards. The dude seems like a handful plus you'd be paying him more than almost everyone on the team AND possibly asking Goosby, who might be the better player, to change positions. Not good for the locker room. Also, who's to say this guy won't show up, get "hurt" week 1 and sit back and collect checks until his near-guaranteed 1st round pick. Idk if it's possible but I'd honestly rather get the Wake tackle and Western Kentucky All-American OG than Seaton. It would be very dumb. If Baker can't play G, then go get two Gs and a backup OT out of the portal.
All the usual PFF disclaimers but Seaton's PFF grade this year (65.8) was actually slightly lower than Baker's. As other have said, Seaton was excellent in pass pro but shitty in run game. Goosby's overall rating far ahead of both guys. Meanwhile Bah was 60.7 (good in Pass, meh in run), Barton 58.7 (same), Church 64.0 (very bad in pass, good in run). Church was above 70 the previous two years though.
Obviously money talks but Brooks leaving is odd from both sides. Texas needs quality depth this year and someone who can play OT next year. Brooks looked so bad this year that his market can't be that hot. Not sure where he would find a better situation. One thing for sure though - Texas needs to find more OL targets than just Seaton. That's going to be highly competitive and even if you get him, you probably need another OG or two for depth.
