Just watched his tape and holy !@#$ can that big fella move. It says he runs a 4.78 40.... That may not be all that outlandish. I think we have a stud on our hands here.

 A  couple things I noticed

 

1) He plays to the whistle and has a nasty side to him that is missing from a lot of the current hogs.

2) He is affective in run-blocking as was especially effective when asked to pull

 

He has some work to do in his pass protection as it certainly wasn't nearly as impressive as his run blocking was, and he could also benefit from another 15-20 lbs on his frame. I could honestly see him as a center or guard in our system.

 

It is refreshing to see an offensive line commit with speed and technique that needs more size. I always hated how Mussman would recruit guys that already had the size but couldnn't move. You can add size with proper development, speed isn't nearly as easy.

Grady, Rooney, Williams and now Merz fit the mold of agile guys who have room to add weight. Good to see.

Welcome to UND Justus.

UND commit John Santiago's senior highlights: http://www.hudl.com/athlete/814437/highlights/194134375 

 

Granted the competition is somewhat suspect, but he certainly doesn't shy away from contact and it takes more than an arm to take him down.  He makes one move at the line and then it's off to the races.  I could see him in a 3rd down back role.

That is an impressive highlight tape.  Kid doesn't shy away from contact.  Most high school players with his speed look to beat people to the edge but he isn't afraid to cut things up.

We always say that

This time I think it's actually for real. Last year was pretty good as well. Williams is long and lean and needs to put on a lot of weight, we haven't had that in a while. Seems like, as someone already noted, that Muss brought in guys that were already at or over 300 lbs. That accounts for the lack of foot speed by some of our recent OL. Williams Grady Rooney and especially Merz all have very good feet and can run a little bit. Merz runs like a deer and I'm very interested to see if he can stay lean and mean as he adds 20-30 lbs over the next couple of years. This bodes well for the future.
