I watched both of their sophomore film to see how they compared at that age, but I am not well-versed in what makes a great OL. Green's base was already huge as a sophomore, but his feet looked heavy. Majors seems light in the butt by comparison, but he looked much nimbler. Both guys showed a lot of aggression. fify - aggy can thank themselves for shooting themselves in the foot on that ranking

He was already a blue chip as a sophomore, so I wondered how his film compared to Majors. I am going to guess his huge anchor is why he was so heralded and Majors isn't, to my untrained eye there wasn't much in his film that stood out as different from Majors's.
January 25, 20196 yr Great news. Need to load up on high quality big guys. Chad Lindberg you're next.Â
January 25, 20196 yr Great get. Looks college ready technically. Great knee bend. Athletic, but not be confused with Cosmi. Cosmi wasn't as nasty and looked more like a TE, than a lineman. Sometimes, still does. Should be a great Guard/Center. BOOM-BABY
January 25, 20196 yr Awesome get. Welcome to the 40 Acres Jake! This is turning out to be a pretty damn good week. Hook'em! Â
January 25, 20196 yr Great pickup, I like it when the first three commits are a QB and a pair of Olinemen.
January 25, 20196 yr Who the hell is the "Bathwater Bunch" and "Herman's Hermits"? Or a "hard prospect"? Edited January 25, 20196 yr by Valmy77
January 25, 20196 yr Yes. He is a OG. They should be familiar - they have 2 committed in 2019 and 4 already for 2020. Jimbo building that FSU offensive line in College Station.Â
January 25, 20196 yr He looks shot out of a cannon on that first highlight, but on the whole he doesn't seem naturally quick (like I can't imagine him on a basketball court or soccer pitch).  However, his footwork is really good, so picking up his blocks and working up to the next level seems effortless. I'm interested to see how he measures up in a camp environment. But he is underrated where he's at, and everyone recognizes that (hence the bellyaching from aggy about a potential bump).

He has a mean streak and does not solely rely on just being bigger. I think this will prove to be a great get, along with the others in the trenches this class. Great pickup hook 'em! Jake Majors' film show good technique while executing a bunch of different assignments. In pass pro, he pushes speed rushers deep past the QB. He uses his feet to stay in front of the defender, stays low and uses his hands to fend off a bull rush. Very good fundamentals. Some guys dominate just because of their size and strength. Their tape usually just shows them drive blocking the DL lined up over them. Not Majors. He does that but also shows a whole lot more too. He executes zone blocks well (granted it's a highlight tape). But he also is mobile and looks really good in space, which is critical for modern offenses. Majors executes the reach block with good footwork. He pulls on what looks like a counter trey. He locates and flattens LBs in space. He even gets out on the edge and takes out DBs on the WR screen. A lot of big OL can't make that block since the DBs are so much quicker than them.

Thx.... Always appreciate your tape breakdowns 🤘
January 14Jan 14 OTF saying most starts by a Longhorn ever, 57, although they admitted not sure how accurate that is. Jake saw a lot in his time at Texas. Feel for him that he came up short last 2 seasons, but so much to be proud of. Best of luck at the next level Jake!
