We are breaking down offers from Offensive lineman. If there is one position group that you really need to see a player in person outside of quarterback it is lineman. Most of these guys are just bigger than the guys they go against in high school. Now you can watch film and see their technique. You can see their athletic ability. There are certain things film will tell you. That being said you can't make a full evaluation off just film with offensive lineman.


Darius Gray: St Christophers (VA) 6’5-300 (2026) (4) Plays tackles may project better as a guard. Like that he also plays on the defensive line. You will see him on the defensive line and Gray uses his hands well. He moves well laterally. He is someone that is going to get to the second level. Of the three offensive lineman rated so far, I may like him the most. Guy gets moving. He gets out his stance quickly and onto the defender before they can react. Gray is the real deal.

Immanuel Iheanacho: Georgetown Prep (MD) 6’7-340 (2026) (5) Ranked one of the top lineman in the country. Big kid. He is over 6'5 for sure. You see him listed as big as 6'7. He is massive. You watch him and he will block one defender, come off his guy and block someone else. He moves pretty well for someone his size. He drives a defender back and you will see his feet always moving. Wonder what type of lateral quickness he has. He dominates on film. Reminds me of Evan Neal who played at Alabama and ended up in the NFL.

Blaise Thomassie-Catholic (LA) 6’5-260 (2026) (4) Blaise weighs 260 pounds. That is most likely the smallest of the lineman FSU has offered. Good thing is there is room to get bigger. He needs to get bigger and stronger. Moves very well. He runs like a tight end. He maybe the best athlete on the board. Love the way this kid moves. He does get overpowered at times. He does need to get into a college weight room. He has good upside. His feet are probably the best of any of the offensive lineman we have evaluated who have been offered this spring. Gets on a defender quickly. He initiates first contact. He uses his hands well. Stays on balance and plays with good leverage. If he was bigger and stronger, Blaise would be ranked higher.

Elijah Hutcheson: William Fleming (VA) 6'7-270 (2026) (3) (Committed to Virginia) Listed as an OT and a DE. I like prospects that play on both sides of the football in high school. Turn on the film and this kid is athletic. He can move. He has very good feet. Wow. Surprised he is listed as a 3-star. Does need to get bigger and stronger but that is expected. He moves well for a big man. He has some power in his game. He can move. He plays a little high. Technique needs work. Elijah is a tackle. He is not as fully developed but is a better athlete than some of the guys listed above. I really like his film. Type of lineman that goes to BC, BYU, Virginia and end up first round picks in the NFL Draft.

John Turntine-North Crowley-(TX) 6’5-300 (2026) (4) Big, thick lineman. He can play guard or tackle at the next level. Impressive with the way this kid moves. He is violent with his hands. Gets physical at the point of attack. Not sure how much room he has to grow. Sometimes does not have great hand placement. Not as athletic as some of the other guys. Maybe a guard. Once again...hands. He uses them well. He has a nice kick slide. Gets out onto a defender and stays in front of them. Does not allow defenders to cross his face. He is a good player. Not sure what his upside is. Seems like there is not a ton of room for growth. What he is....is what he most likely will be

Ekene Ogboko: South Garner (NC) 6’6-290 (2026) (4) One thing is for certain these kids keep getting bigger and bigger in HS. To think he is only going to be a junior is just crazy. He comes off the ball a little high. So there is room for him to improve his technique. He can move. You will see him get out and pull. He does not allow defenders to cross his face. He is strong in the run game. Probably a better run blocker at this time. Little more athletic on film than Iheancacho.

Sam Roseborough: Clearwater (FL) 6’5-290 (2026) (NR Rivals) Not as big as some of the other guys on the board. That is no surprise as he is a Florida prospect. Most of the Florida prospects are not fully developed in high school. He is a good player. Like that he also plays on the defensive line. Good athlete. You will see him down the field blocking. He is nowhere fully developed. He fits some of my criteria for offensive line. He has size, he is athletic, he can bend, he can move laterally. His technique needs work. The question now is Sam coachable. Sam is probably a solid 3-star type lineman with the potential to be a 4-star down the road. POTENTIAL.

Avery Morcho: Ridge Point (TX) 6’5-270 (2026) (3) It is crazy to think that these days 270 pounds is not consider big anymore. He has good size (6'5). The first thing you notice on film is his technique. This is something that Avery can work on. He bends or leans over to block. At times he will shoot straight up off the ball. You will see him get out and block defensive backs. He has some athletic ability. He has to get stronger. He is raw but you can see some upside. Will use his hands well. Did I saw he was RAW....?


Felix Ojo-Lake Ridge HS (TX) 6’7-280 (2026) (3) Looks thin. Still needs to get bigger and stronger. Has size (6'7). Raw. He has length and you would like to see him use it better. Moves feet alright. Not as fluid or as athletic as some of the other guys on the board. He is someone that must get stronger. He does not really move defenders. That will come as he gets stronger in the lower body. Probably the least impressive of the lineman offered this spring. Not a great run or pass blocker.

Day’jon Moore: Willis HS (TX) 6’4-300 (2026) (NR) (OG) Moore is a guard. He is not ranked ath this time by Rivals. He will allow defenders to cross his face. He must learn to move his feet quicker. Not blown away by Moore. Seems to get overpowered at times. He is big....What I saw on film was not enough to offer him. I think he is someone that you evaluate in person. Maybe someone you go after if everyone else on the board decides to go somewhere else. Still has two years to develop. Not a take at this time.

Musa Bajaha - 19 U German Prospect - Was offered recently. Grown man. He is someone that is going to need to be evaluated in person.

2027 Offers
Jasper Ngokwere: Richardson HS (TX) 6’5-270 (2027) (No Film / Plays basketball) Must of been an in person evaluation this spring. There is no video on-line to watch and evaluate.

Josh Petty trimmed down his list of contending schools to just five today.

Florida State, Stanford, Tennessee, Georgia Tech, and Ohio State have made the cut. Oregon, Clemson and Auburn have been knocked out of contention.

Florida State is the perceived leader right now for Petty as it is rumored that his sister will be attending Florida State in the fall. Petty has an unannounced official visit to Georgia Tech, an official visit to Ohio State (June 14th) and will take his official visit to Florida State on June 21st.

FSU sports information:

The No.20/NR Florida State outdoor track and field teams will be represented by 11 members at the 2024 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships from June 5-8 at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon.

The meet will be available on ESPN2, and live timing will be provided through flash results.

On Wednesday, Tyson Williams will compete in the men’s semifinal of the 110-meter hurdles at 8:32 p.m. The top 12 in the race will advance to finals on Friday. Jeremiah Davis, Curtis Williams, and Jordan Turner will compete in the long jump final at 9:00 p.m.

Friday will feature semifinals of the 4x100 relay, as well as finals of the triple jump, and 5,000.

The women’s semifinals will take place on Thursday. The Seminoles will compete in at least four races, starting at 8:46 p.m. with the 1,500. The top 12 student-athletes in each event will advance to finals on Saturday.

The 20th-ranked women’s team is led by sophomore Dajaz DeFrand who set a school record and ACC record in the 100, at 10.94. DeFrand erased the time that was set by Eddiong in 2022 at 11.05. She concluded her weekend in 200, setting an ACC record and lifetime best of 22.34. Her performance was the second-fastest in school history.

The FSU men’s team was highlighted by Davis as he placed second in the long jump at the East Region Preliminaries with a mark of 7.75m (25-5¼), before competing in the triple jump, placing fifth at 16.15m (53.0).

“We are super excited for the national finals,” said FSU track and field head coach Bob Braman. “We had a great prelim round at regionals and we’re sending some true stars to Eugene. Jeremiah and Dajaz are our cornerstones, but there are several athletes who could become first-team All-Americans.”

Interesting stuff.

Read the Motion.

“Clemson does not dispute the validity or enforceability of the GoR.”

They point out they assigned only rights needed for the conference to meet obligations under the media deal. I agree. This is something the ACC treats differently than it says. The ACC acts like it’s an unrestricted GoR.

And the rights include the right to produce and distribute events subject to the ESPN deal. I agree 100% with their assertion the ESPN deal is THE specific one referenced in the GoR. Then all the facts are redacted.I want to see that because Clemson seems to think it is really clear. “Based on the plain, unambiguous language of the Grant of Rights and the ESPN Agreements, Clemson is entitled to partial summary judgment granting declaratory relief on the first cause of action specifically, declaratory judgment affirming that the Grant of Rights does not include the right to produce and distribute games played by Clemson if and when it ceases to be a member of the ACC.”

SJ on this issue is a game ender. The argument really comes down to this claim – The rights to games played by Clemson after it leaves the ACC are not “necessary” to the ACC’s performance under the ESPN agreement because REDACTED. For now, we don't have any good way to evaluate the basis for the assertion. I suspect this comes down to some read of the comp clause and pro rata provisions.I like the motion a lot. However, I also realize that the entire contract claim basis is blacked out so we have no idea what the terms actually say. It does seem if it was so obvious we would not be here, but you never know.

I sure hope this goes forward, but it feels odd procedurally.

Hopefully, it's quieter than predicted. Remember, sheltering in place is not always the best advice when a storm is approaching.

Second visit for DT with family tie to FSU

FSU sports information:

The longest day in golf arrived at a fitting conclusion on Monday night for a pair of superstar Seminoles.

Rising junior All-American Luke Clanton and recently graduated senior Frederik Kjettrup, both high-level players of the Florida State Men’s Golf National Runner-Up squad, have each qualified for the upcoming U.S. Open held at the famous Pinehurst No. 2 course from June 13-16.

The pair are the first amateurs at Florida State to qualify for the major since John Pak was the Low Amateur at the 2020 U.S. Open.

Kjettrup and Clanton played at two of the 10 final qualifying sites on Monday, with Kjettrup competing at the Golf Club of Georgia in Alpharetta and Clanton tackling The Bear’s Club in Jupiter, Fla.

Among 68 players competing at his site, Kjettrup just made the U.S. Open qualifying cut by finishing third in what was a Top-3 cutline. He shot a pair of impressive 66 scores in his two rounds played to finish at 12-under. The native of Demark and FSU All-American used an important birdie on his 18th and final hole – a par 5 – to squeak past the rest of the field that didn’t make the cut.

Clanton was tasked with trying to make the Top 5 of his 73-player field at The Bear’s Club, and managed to just get in after finishing fourth at 5-under (70-69). He finished two strokes ahead of three players competing for the coveted fifth-place position, getting an important birdie of his own on hole No. 18 to provide some needed cushion.

The Hialeah, Fla., native enjoyed a banner year as a sophomore in 2023-24, being named a PING First-Team All-American.

In Clanton’s field, fellow Seminole Daniel Berger tied for second at 6-under to also qualify for the 2024 U.S. Open.

Brooks Koepka, a two-time winner of the U.S. Open in 2017 and 2018, will also be part of the Major field in two weeks.

The FSU pitching staff, inconsistent at times this season, pieced together an impressive weekend in the Tallahassee Regional. With a 2.33 ERA, 35 strikeouts to 8 walks and clutch escapes galore, the FSU staff may be rounding into form at the right time. That would make FSU a lethal team as the postseason continues.

Behind a nine-run fifth inning, FSU baseball blew past UCF for a 12-4 win, advancing to Super Regionals for the first time since 2019. The Noles will host either UConn or Oklahoma next weekend with a spot in the College World Series on the line.

On Monday's edition of the Osceola's Seminole Sidelines, host Nick Carlisle along with senior writer Curt Weiler and editor Bob Ferrante recap the Florida State Seminoles' 3-0 weekend in the Tallahassee Regional as they advance to the Super Regional stage in the NCAA tournament.

FSU sports information:

One of the best hitters in Florida State softball history is moving on to the professional leagues as Kalei Harding signed with Athletes Unlimited for their AUX season in Wichita, Kansas, from June 10 to June 25. Harding will join former Seminole Jessi Warren in the AUX league. Warren was named one of three captains for the league.

Harding ended her career all over the record book as she became one of the top hitters in program history in her four years in garnet and gold. Harding ended her career second all-time in career doubles (57), third in career home runs (46), fourth in career RBI (208) and eighth in slugging percentage. Harding hit .310 over the course of her career and hit over .300 in her final three season with the Seminoles.

This season, Harding recorded 65 RBI which is the sixth-most in school history to go along with 15 home runs which was also a top 10 mark in school history. Harding is one of just four players in school history to hit 15 or more home runs and drive in 65 or more runs.

The AUX season will consist of three series with every game being televised on ESPN2, ESPNU or ESPNEWS. The full AUX schedule can be found at https://auprosports.com/aux-softball/schedule/2024/.

Good story on a new 2026 five-star OL. He picked up an FSU offer on May 21:

Immanuel Iheanacho now has more stars next to his name than years he’s been playing football. The new five-star in the 2026 class has only played two seasons of football so far but he’s already one of the most coveted prospects in the country.

“I feel like (the five-star rating) is a testament to my hard work that I've been putting in these last couple of months," he said. "This football thing being so new to me, (I’m) just (making) sure I keep my head level, head straight and just keep working. I’m not letting the rankings get to me. I appreciate it but I know this is just the first step.”

Another Jamie Arnold gem and a hot start from the FSU offense paved the way to a 5-2 win over UCF Saturday night. The Noles are through to the Tallahassee Regional Championship Sunday at 6 p.m.

Midnight was the deadline for any prospect to withdraw from the NBA Draft. Jamir Watkins has done so and is one of the top options in the transfer portal. While he could return to FSU it's a long shot. His NIL value on the open market is well north of $1 million, a source told me yesterday.

Two shootings, one dead over the long weekend. A group of us used to go every Memorial day weekend back in the 80s and it was so chill. Now it's a shitshow.

I was talking to a cop who was out there and he said people we walking around at 5 a.m. openly drinking out of liquor bottles. Said there was an estimated 30,000 people there. At least 4 DJs were set up blaring "music" at all hours.

Sad. It's privately owned so eventually they'll get sued to normalcy.

Florida State will be holding its Elite Camp on Sunday June 9th. Some of the top prospects in the country are expected to be on-campus for the event. We are expecting the list to feature more 2026 and 2027 prospects because the bulk of legit 2025 prospects on FSU's recruiting board will be taking official visits this weekend. Here are some of the prospects that the Osceola's expects to see on Sunday

The RBC Canadian Open had one of, if not the most thrilling finish to a PGA TOUR event in 2023, with Nick Taylor becoming the first Canadian to win his national open in 69 years, defeated Tommy Fleetwood in a playoff.
Now there is a hearty Canadian contingent looking for even more history, as Canadians haven’t won the tournament in back-to-back years since Albert Murray and Karl Keffer in 1913 and 1914.
The event returns to the venerable Hamilton Golf and Country Club, long ranked as one of the country’s best. It underwent an impressive restoration/renovation project after it hosted the 2019 RBC Canadian Open with Golf Digest naming it the "Best Renovation" of the year in 2023.

This week – the seventh time Hamilton will be hosting the Canadian Open – is the final week for players to earn points in the Aon Swing 5 to nab a spot in the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday. It’s also part of the final qualifying series for The Open Championship, with the top three finishers not otherwise exempt earning a spot at Royal Troon this summer.
Here's everything else you need to know as the TOUR returns to Canada.
FIELD NOTES: Nick Taylor returns to defend his title at the RBC Canadian Open after his dramatic victory last year at Toronto’s Oakdale Golf and Country Club. Taylor, who won earlier this season at the WM Phoenix Open, is the country’s top-ranked male golfer. Other Canadian PGA TOUR winners in the field include Taylor Pendrith, Corey Conners, Adam Svensson, Adam Hadwin and Mackenzie Hughes (who is from Hamilton)… Rory McIlroy looks to continue his success at the Canadian Open – and so far this season. McIlroy won the last Canadian Open contested in Hamilton in 2019 by seven shots and won the next edition of the RBC Canadian, in 2022 as well. He finished T9 last year and has won twice already this season on TOUR… Shane Lowry, who finished T2 the last time the RBC Canadian was in Hamilton (behind McIlroy, with whom he won the Zurich Classic) returns to Canada… Lowry and McIlroy’s Ryder Cup teammate Tommy Fleetwood – who lost in a playoff to Taylor in 2023 – is back along with fellow Europe Ryder Cuppers Robert MacIntyre and Nicolai Højgaard… Other notable names playing in Hamilton include three-time TOUR winner Tom Kim (making his RBC Canadian Open debut), Sahith Theegala, Cam Young and Sam Burns… Adam Scott tees it up at the RBC Canadian Open for the first time since 2003 (also at Hamilton). This is Scott’s just second appearance at the event.
SPONSOR EXEMPTIONS: There will be at least 25 Canadians teeing it up in their home country this week led by International Presidents Cup team captain Mike Weir playing in his 31st RBC Canadian Open – just one back of the most all-time… David Hearn, who was in the final group on Sunday at the Canadian Open in 2015, will be playing in his 20th RBC Canadian Open… Among the other Canadians in on sponsor invites include world travellers Jared du Toit and DP World Tour member Aaron Cockerill, as well as PGA TOUR Americas in-season winners Stu MacDonald and Matt Anderson… PGA TOUR member Michael Gligic – from nearby Burlington, Ontario – will make his seventh appearance at the Canadian Open… There were four regional qualifiers over the last 12 months while defending Canadian amateur champion Ashton McCulloch and mid-amateur standout Kevin Stinson are also in the field… Ryan Palmer and Kelly Kraft round out the sponsor invites.
SIGNATURE EVENT STORYLINES: The next Signature Event on the PGA TOUR schedule is the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday… The RBC Canadian Open is the final event for players to earn FedExCup points and get into the field at the Memorial via the Aon Swing 5… With his win at Colonial, Davis Riley now tops the Aon Swing 5 (climbing 61 spots in the standings thanks to his victory), while Chris Gotterup (the winner in Myrtle Beach) is second… Mac Meissner finished T5 at the Charles Schwab Challenge and moved up eight spots to No. 4, while Pierceson Coody, who also finished T5 moved up a robust 45 spots to No 5… Hayden Buckley (also T5 at Colonial) moved up 49 spots and is just 0.5 points behind Coody for the final spot in the Aon Swing 5… The 10 golfers in the Aon Next 10 remained unchanged after last week at the Charles Schwab Challenge, but Christiaan Bezuidenhout and Jake Knapp swapped spots, with the South African moving up to No. 9 and Knapp falling to No. 10.
COMCAST BUSINESS TOUR TOP 10 UPDATES: After finishing T2 at the Charles Schwab Challenge, world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler remained firmly on top of the stands. Scheffler now has 11 top-10 finishes in 12 starts this season… Collin Morikawa finished fourth in Fort Worth and moved up two spots in the standings from No. 8 to No. 6 while Ludvig Åberg and Byeong Hun An each moved down a spot… An remains the only golfer to be inside the TOUR TOP 10 every week so far this season.
FEDEXCUP: Winner receives 500 FedExCup points
COURSE: Hamilton Golf and Country Club, par 70, 7,084 yards. The golf course has been completely renovated since the last time it hosted the RBC Canadian Open, with shovels going into the ground not long after the event concluded in 2019. It was a trying effort for Martin Ebert and his team, however, as he was supposed to visit Hamilton a dozen times from the U.K. through the renovation process (a throwback restoration to Harry Colt’s original design from the 1910s) but couldn’t come at all due to the travel restrictions imposed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead, Ebert relied on virtual reality and video calling and finally got to see the finished product in September 2021. The course has 112 yards more length than 2019 and every putting surface and bunker was re-done.
72-HOLE RECORD: 258, Rory McIlroy (2019)
18-HOLE RECORD: 60, Carl Pettersson (third round, 2010 at St. George’s G&CC), Justin Rose (fourth round, 2022 at St. George’s G&CC)
LAST TIME: Nick Taylor’s drought-busting 72-foot eagle putt to defeat Tommy Fleetwood on the fourth playoff hole of the 2023 RBC Canadian Open will go down in Canadian sport history as one of the country’s biggest moments. Taylor, who opened with a 75 but bounced back to make the cut on the number Friday (after a “talking to” from his wife Thursday night, he said), shot weekend rounds of 63-66 to finish tied with Fleetwood at 17-under. The duo went back and forth over the three playoff holes before Taylor had an eagle attempt from long range to win the tournament. When it dropped, pandemonium ensued (including fellow British Columbia native Adam Hadwin getting tackled by an overzealous security guard – in his defense, Hadwin was wearing street clothes and had no credential, and he and the security guard laughed it off quickly) as Taylor became the first Canadian to win his national open since Pat Fletcher in 1964 – although Brooke Henderson won the CPKC Women’s Open in Saskatchewan in 2018. Two-time defending champion Rory McIlroy ended up tied for ninth. He won the Canadian Open the last time it took place at Hamilton, in 2019.
