I would think Donovan would most likely end up at G with this kid being a Center. 

One goes to center, one to guard, or perhaps Barr stays at center.  No matter how they line up we'll have options in the pivot unlike this year when Rice had to learn the position.

Newman!  He looks like the prototypical center.  To me, Donovan has the feet and athletic ability to move to guard and possibly tackle.  Love these three OL verbals.  Certainly hope they all sign on the dotted line that first Wednesday in February.

I would much rather keep the #3 center in Texas at center, but maybe that's just me

not bad having the #3 and #15 on that list... But Donovan i think is also a top guard also, but this staff will play the 5 best which I think we all can agree on and are excited to see

This was my thought as well. Don't really see why you would him from Center. 247 has him as the number 15 center in the country. You don't move a guy like that unless you have to or if Dakoda Newman just blows every body away leading up to football season. I don't believe next year's Center is currently on the roster and I think Donovan is to start as a true freshman while this kid red shirts.

I'm not sure about the success rate of most true freshman OL in C-USA, but if these kids aren't going to play I would love to have them redshirted and spend a year just in the gym.. But if they are the best players, play them.  But Donovan has talked about how he was being brought in to play either G or C, so only reason why we all think it will be Spoon at T, Don at G and Newman at C...

First off, just amazing domination from this guy on his assignments.  Maybe someone can educate me though, some of these moves look like tackles to me that could be considered holds.  What's the difference between just arm tackling the guy and a good "block".  His takedowns all look very similar, where he sort of uses his arms to bring the guy down to the ground, but not necessarily with the defender ending up his back.  To my untrained eyes it looks dangerously close to a "tackle".

OU took on of my good friends who was ranked in the top 10 in the nation at Guard and moved him to Center.   Also, Newman is the number 15 center.   Not a bad list...

      Some of you think these professional athletes have to go to classes?

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?
