'15 JUCO OL Brian Ochs (Kansas)

[BillySee58]

6'4" 300 lb offensive lineman from Butler CC. Apparently has committed to us, per twitter and Vito. Played center for Butler. Not sure what position we were recruiting him at. Does not have any offers listed on his recruiting profiles.

Just from the video my guess would be RG or RT. Kid can run block. I dig it.

The loss of that trio left UNT with some big holes to fill in its offensive front.

This guy...

Looks good, welcome aboard. Hope he pans out, haven't had too much luck with juco OL's the last couple of years (Manu & Denucci).

[Ben Gooding]

Welcome aboard! Get some green and rep it. GMG.

DRC: Ochs followed long path from tiny Quinter, Kansas, to become FBS prospect, UNT commit

Interesting that Ochs was an all state defensive tackle in high school at Quinter:

"Werth now has 331 career tackles, and passed former all-state standout Brian Ochs, now at Butler County Community College. Ochs finished with 313 from ’08-11 and helped Quinter win a state title. Werth battled a shoulder injury and played in just six games as a junior, and still has the shoulder issue this season, but won’t get it fixed until the offseason."

I think this may be my darkhorse of this class... he had some good offers and could play a key role for us right away.

After watching his film again, he may be technically one of our best from day one. He has great technique and instincts...

Interesting that he played center at juco... and looked pretty damn good doing it for for our QB signee DaMarcus Smith...
