Hmmm, a new OL offer.
With 3 commits already on the OL, had wondered if the coaches were done there.

I'm grateful to have received my second Divison 1 offer from @NDSUfootball @coachARyan17

Put him at DT.

Put him at DT.

Interesting…

I saw AJ Blazek’s name connected to the Wisconsin PWO news, immediately thought of Wyatt Graffin as an OL. That would be good size for a DL, perhaps they are giving Graffin a different choice?

The Bison coaches have continued to offer DL’s, so it would tie in with that
