One of the trends I’m just now realizing with this class is the size. Brian Gaia is another recruit who is big enough to play now. He likely won’t, but it benefits a kid when he doesn’t have to spend his redshirt season adding 25 lbs, then learning how to use that weight. Gaia is another kid who could land on the offensive OR defensive side of the ball. I expect him to contribute in a few years, likely on offense. Due in part to the depth at the DT position.
Of course, the only highlight reel on youtube is of him at DT! There is offensive film out there, if you look for it.
