Looks like a good blocker with good hands. Welcome to the Herd, Josh!

Is he a TE or a WR? If he's a WR, that will be two at the 6'5" range.Quote:

Good history for NDSU players coming out of Barrington HS.
Sam Ojuri and Ben LeCompte.
Welcome to the Bison family, Josh !!!
Welcome Josh
Outstanding!!! Welcome to NDSU Josh.
Safe assumption it is tight end based on coaches comments on social media referring to another one for Coach Rohl and Crew Chiefs.Quote:

Slightly worried we misread him and pull another jeff illies. Turning a wide out into a tight end that should have stayed a wide out.....
What evidence do you have of this?Quote:

Just said it was a concern as several people have voiced in the past that they wished Illies would have stayed a wide out. Another big guy that can catch comes along and we immediately think tight end.
This goes along with the standard BV thinking that any 6 ft. 3 in. 230 pound high school LB will be automatically converted to DE.Quote:

I'm okay with him being at TE, and trust the coaches know the best spot for him.Quote:

Or it has to do more with their skillset? It's pretty easy to see how a guy fits in at the FCS level on film. You're getting HerdBot mixed up with people that can actually see things on film. Do we need to get into specifics?Quote:

No different than making a safety into a CB...hip fluidity and foot speed is going to be a concern at the CB spot but MUCH less of one at the safety spot. Hip fluidity is obviously still important, but usually you see big/stiff corners converted to safeties for that reason alone. Just different kinds of athletes. It's a lot easier to take a guy that's an [above] average athlete(at his position) and turn him into a position that requires less athletic ability. Like I pointed out earlier, it helps create mismatches.Quote:
