Is anyone else perplexed about center? I thought this was

Aug 8, 2021, 4:32 PM

the year that Rayburn (6'4" 320) was supposed to make a move. Now we're seeing an under-sized center (Trotter, 6'2" 285) on the 1st team.

No disrespect towards Trotter, but just surprised a low 3-star is beating out a consensus 4-star for the first team reps. I'm just not seeing how a guy at 285 is going to move anyone on an elite D Line. I think this would not work out well against a team like, Jawja. Or Bama.

And I'm certainly not implying Rayburn was a miss---I think he has a world of potential.

What am I missing here?

6ft 2in, 285 is plenty big enough.

Trotter played 3x the snaps that Rayburn played

Last year. And if you watched closely, this should not come as a Surprise.

people that see them everyday and grade their every move make these decisions so we will be fine.

Exactly.

Control what you can control. Trust our coaches to make the coaching decisions.

Take a breath.

He was what? 5'10, 230?

And he ate up all-american nose tackles using quickness, endurance and leverage. Made USuCs highest rated player look foolish.
