That's the definition of a team player. I'm on the Reich bandwagon and look forward to seeing him on the line in a few seasons.

6-7 - I mean soak that in a lbit...our 6-7 guy is going to red-shirt.

It is SOOO great to see our O-line all be of regular division 1 size. You just cant get it done with a bunch of 6 foot or 6-1 o-lineman.

One thing to note - not the height is everything - but there are only a couple of guys under 6 foot in this class - that is one of the bigger differences between this class and any class from the last 20 years.

I noticed that too...seems like all our skill people except qb's used to be under 6'. Very nice change. BTW, Aldrick looked tiny at the senior game compared to other wr's

If Reich redshirts, can you imagine what he'll look like after five years working with Coach de Laura? If he buys in to the benefits of strength training like Kelvin Beachum did (another guy who arrived at SMU with little weight lifting experience), he could become an absolute monster.

Reports are that he is a little raw....so redshirting would be a good thing and glad that he recognizes it now.

I agree completely. If he can get his technique up to his potential, he'll end up being an anchor at one end of the line.

Wasn't he recruited as a center or am I thinking of someone else?

Believe your thinking of Taylor Lasecki
