Freshman Estenor shifts to offense

[BigShoop]

Once it was clear the Genus experiment was a success,and McClain continued to develop along with McCaskill and with Grissom's emergence I knew either Estenor or Jackson would move over....although admittedly I thought Jackson would be the first to go.  This is actually good news for USF because it means the staff is looking around and believes McClain, Genus, Harris, McCaskill and maybe Grissom will be solid this season and it was smart to get Estenor, all 6-4 299lbs of him to the OL immediately so he could develop for the future.

Where would you rank him compared to the other young offensive linemen?

On our team?  I'd say just behind Popek.  If Jackson moves over then behind Popek and Jackson.  Estenor has good feet and hands, a solid body composition, and seems to move well.  He's that type of kid that could go guard or tackle, maybe a tad more aggressive player so he might be better suited in the interior line at guard, where he can fire, and pull.  Estenor is valuable because much like Popek we're talking about a kid that physically already nearly there, he's benching high 300lbs, has the weight but not fat...the point his the staff doesn't have to pull them back and work on their bodies before developing their games.  Popek and Estenor can fit right in now.

I agree but I still hope one if not both are Redshirted. The online is on place where I feel most if not all Freshmen should get the Redshirt to allow their bodies fully develop

I like this a lot.

Nice. I think the linemen we're recruiting now are at a much higher level coming into school, and in the next 2 years, we're going to see our OLinemen jump up to the level of the other "reload" areas that we already have on defense. Do you agree?
