Interesting story. However, is the offer for football or basketball? If he has speed and good catching skills, maybe he could be a WR.

It's football - he's wearing an NDSU uniform in the tweet about the offer.

BisonReport is saying that his position is DE.

DE, will need to beef up a bit for that position. Kramer can get the weight on him.

When you're playing in a violent sport with big, athletic dudes, "yes."

Every recruit in the last upteen years who is 6' 3" and 230 lb and played LB in high school is a DE prospect.........standard Bisonville MO. "IT'S ALL ABOUT A SKILL SET"......yeah, we've heard it before, ad nauseum.

I would say anyone who is a 6-4 or taller gets the label. Seems like 6-3 De's or shorter don't overly excite people. (unless your Kyle Emanuel or Greg Menard) Now this kid says he's 6-6 which means he's probably 6-4 or 6-5

Getting a 6-6 defensive lineman is something we rarely see at the FCS level and it's arguably the most important position on the defense. So heck yeah! Put him in the weight room and if we have a 6-5 to 6-6 250 pounder I'll take that 100 times out of 100. We're a developmental program. Unless he doesn't have any skills of course

I think the "we hear this about every recruit" thing was referring to the need to get him into NDSU's training program, but, yeah, people do like to suggest switching players from other positions to DE.

I'm pretty sure he is being recruited as a DE even though his height, speed, and BB background might suggest TE.
