Matt Arkema
I think at this point it’s pretty obvious what Beamer and Co. think about the mistake they made in recruiting offensive line talent in 2004 and 2005 (see the terrible line from ‘06 to mid-’08) and they are not going to make that mistake again. The ‘08, ’09 and ’10 classes are just filled with fantastic Oline talent. I like the footage I saw of Arkema. Active footwork but I really like his aggressiveness. Of course his pad level is way too high and he certainly will need to get stronger, but he’s got a big frame and a heaping dose of Mike Gentry in his future. Plus you can’t teach aggressiveness (see: Wang, Ed).
