Ducks Attack Message Board Forum

Alright, how do you think Noah S. being in Oregon's training system will change him by this spring? The kid is a monster in his power at 270 and doesn't seem to lack in the quicks or in speed. So where do you see him improving on the physical side? Does he drop below 250 or just lean up? Can he gain a step? You have to believe that the strength program can do more for him than is high schools could.

Just hope his knee is ok.

Any reports? I'm trying to stay positive until proven depressed.

I think he’s going to be around 255 and be a kickass LB who will get some play on O.

A most unfortunate thread title in light of the recent injury. Thankfully, it sounds like just a bruise.

“Physical Prowess Award

This award is given to the best-looking prospect on the hoof, the guy who looks like he could play in college or even the NFL right now. There were actually several worthy candidates but the award goes to Sewell. At his size, the five-star Oregon signee would already been on the larger end when compared to current college linebackers. He flies around the field and has an engaging personality off of it, making him a popular man among his teammates all week. He should see the field early and often with the Ducks.

Honorable mention: Justin Flowe obviously fits the bill here as well. Stanford offensive line signee Levi Rogers is also a very physically impressive prospect along the lines over other high-profile Cardinal signees in recent years.”

Four of the Rivals awards went to Oregon signees:

His dad said in an interview that he would lean out a bit when he started the schools nutrition program.

250-260, and I hope he plays zero O. He got nicked up playing in a game that means nothing, I don't want him getting hurt going for a yard on 4th and.

He got hurt playing defense in that game.

I get that. But big backs at the D1 level, who are stars on D, will have cheap shots at their knees. UW took cheap shots at his brother, and it cost him half a year. Point is, enough people will be trying to hurt him, why give them free shots on O? That's why we recruited guys like Benson, so he can take those hits.

good point. But I think ISM, Flowe, and Sewell have a 3 man rotation at the 2 ILB spots and that leaves Sewell open to take a few snaps a game at RB without over working him.

Noah's knee is fine according to his Dad and Nemec's reporting:

How did MJ Cunningham do this year? I thought he'd be in the conversation for more playing time this coming here. Does this also mean Mase Funa will be playing OLB/DE for the rest of his career here? i thought his natural position was at ILB.

He filled in at ILB at times but was mainly a ST player.
