I just watched his highlight video, and he has more pancakes than IHOP. Ok, that was a corny joke, but he was mauling guys in almost everyone of these cherry picked clips. Aledo played a lot of schools with FBS talent and he even labeled some of the guys "3 star DT of 5 star LB" that he was going against in the video. I was impressed seeing him go out and block on screen plays. This is a good addition to the OL.

Getting kids from state championship teams is a good strategy 👏

They switched it to grey shirt after he had committed to go transfer route.

According to Vito's article it was due to Sohn's injuries and UTSA having a lineman come back. 

Quote

UTSA’s coaching staff asked Sohn to delay enrolling until the semester break, so that his scholarship could be pushed back to the 2024 class, a process known as grayshirting.

 

“They had another offensive lineman come back for another year and wanted to grayshirt me because I was a little unhealthy this season,” Sohn said. “I was on crutches and in a boot. I just got out of the boot and have been working my way back.

Welcome to UNT Isaac.  Great pick up.

(wonder if he is friends with Hejny)

[eulessismore]

Is this our first recruit from Aledo? Hopefully we'll get more from that program.

Yes and according to UTSA recruiting guy the injuries played a factor. But a key factor in making push to greyshirt was because they had a guy wanting to commit that could help quicker. UTSA probably did push the injuries as excuse to grey shirt. It sounds better than hey we have another guy needing your spot at moment. Utsa really struggled at oline depth last year. Why they went juco and transfer route to get some guys who can help at two deep right away. North Texas has a little more luxury to let Sohn and Majiga develop a year.

Well, if they already know how to win, then that means we could also save some money on coaches' salaries........😎

Winners expect to win. They are unphased by adversity/mistakes. They don't go sit on the bench and pout and brood when something doesn't go their (or the team's) way. They are usually very focused and don't waste their time mugging for the camera.

There's some he-said, she-said, they-said dynamics at play here.  Some people, people from both sides, choosing words to either make them look good or save some face.

I think Sohn's quote is actually brutally honest. He basically said UTSA pulled the scholarship offer for next fall because they wanted someone who could contribute and not redshirt. Like JD mentioned, UTSA is trying to win BIG next year and oline isn't a big strength so they need as many bodies as possible. Whereas, our oline is already set and we're not in "win now" mode so we're fine with him probably redshirting.
