OL guys that were so fucking bad they couldn't see playing time last year in a an OL that was so bad it was like watching a live feed of clubbing baby seals every Saturday in the fall.

Watching baby seals being clubbed is more humane.

No idea if Sikorski is good or not but the fact the competition for him was other SEC schools doesn’t suck.

I'm just psyched about getting a big-bodied Polish dude on the OL. Maybe I'm just racist, but it seems like those poles can block 'em up.

That’s bullshit. They’re letting professionals come back and play but this kid who missed a year due to injury is denied? Fuck the NCAA.

I’d guess the NCAA powers didn’t want to do this, but rather felt obligated to in their role as arbitrator between players wanting more time and teams wanting fair competition between lesser experienced players.

From a business perspective this isnt good for NCAA

Very inconsistent player. Look like crap at time and other times like a future draft pick.

That's what 95% of redshirt freshmen with talent do.

The guy has literally played 4 full seasons of NCAA football.

My rudimentary googling skills led me to understand that he played three full seasons and two games of a 4th (my assumption was that was injury related).

It sounds like it's a question of whether he was actually injured. His previous school (Ferris State) does not seem to agree that he was sitting out due to injury:

"Additionally, the student-athlete’s prior school indicated it had no documentation on medical treatment, injury reports or medical conditions involving the student-athlete during that time frame and cited “developmental needs and our team’s competitive circumstances” as its reason the student-athlete did not play in the 2022-23 season. The waiver request was denied."

He redshirted for a year, then sat out another year (either injured or still not ready to play), and then played the next year.

Looks like a mixed bag.

  • Played DT last year.

  • Torn meniscus in spring and missed fall camp

  • Started first three games

  • Looks like even these games, he was on a snap count / rotation that carried through most the year

  • Didn't play the final two games

Oregon State LG Dylan Sikorski Embraces Starting Role

Yesterday, Oregon State starting left guard Dylan Sikorski spoke with reporters ahead of Saturday's matchup with Fresno State.

Dylan Sikorski might be the happiest player on the Oregon State football team.

Yesterday, Dylan Sikorski opened up to local media, embracing a wide grin that was impossible to ignore. The redshirt freshman offensive lineman knows his career trajectory is soaring.

Last Saturday, Sikorski earned his first ever Oregon State start, lining up at left guard between tackle Jacob Strand and center Van Wells. 

It wasn’t supposed to happen. A deep sleeper to earn a starting role, Sikorski spent most of fall camp recovering from an injury. “I had a meniscus tear, I had surgery on that in the Spring, I got back in four months and I’m back playing”. Sikorski was cleared to play in time for the opening kickoff Saturday, and started despite being left off the official two-deep depth chart entirely.

Clearly, the coaches believed in Sikorski’s potential. He’s only been on campus for fourteen months, but at 6’4” and 332 pounds, he already displays NFL-caliber measurables. What’s more, he has a can-do attitude. Last season, after the Beavers defensive line suffered through a dizzying array of injuries, the then-true freshman buried on the depth chart agreed to switch sides. He played in four games, earning tackles against ranked foes Washington State and Boise State late in the season.

According to Pro Football Focus (PFF), the Beavers’ starting left guard led all Oregon State linemen in pass blocking grade (88.1) and run blocking grade (70.1). In PFF’s criterion, a grade in the 70s is above average, and a grade in the 80s is good. Sikorski’s self-assessment was more humble: “I could get better in everything … my run game could definitely get better: picking up blitzes, linebackers, eyes on the linebackers”.

For the Beavers to earn their first win of the season Saturday afternoon versus Fresno State, they’ll need a big day from their emerging starter.

His "injury" was tonsilitis in 2022, when he was a redshirt freshman on a national championship team. Solid chance he didn't play just because there was someone better ahead of him and is playing up the tonsil thing to get an extra year

Jordan Washington playing at 265 was asinine. Having YAC guys like Townsend and Winston gain 30 lbs in their first offseason here was stupid too

You are correct about the fourth season, but it likely was not his injury. He came in for the starter and started one game (and lost) and then the starter came back the next week.

Considering how shitty OSU's performance in 2025 was, those grades are probably a good indication of his ability in a better offense. Granted, the Beav's SOS was 63rd, according to ESPN.

Wall of shame? It might work as a deterrent along with enforcing strongly worded signed contracts,

see this trophy case of pictures? These are players who left for greener pastures. This is Bob. He was a TE at Texas. He left for OU. Wound up on the bench. Now sells used cars in Norman. This will be you.

Well started watching the Oregon/Oregon State full game replay to get a sense on Sikorski and the first snap for Oregon State certainly wasn't a great start.

I'm not an OL guy, but he looks competent but weak. Lacked strength to move anyone but also I only saw one Stroh where he completely whiffed because the DL wasn't where he thought he should be. The sad news is that he was not great from what I saw, but he would have also been better to have on the field than the guy we were starting at LG that week. I don't know, he can fog a mirror and could get stronger. Ringing endorsement, sure, but that's where we are IOL-wise.

The thing is Universities take care of the “loyal for life” players even when or if their pro careers don’t pan out. If you are a fan favorite and worked hard and were part of the success for a team they will always look out for you. Giving that up unless you are at a small school that it only makes sense to leave or unless you were forced out is dumb as fuck. Schools like Texas don’t just forget about you. Damn.

Putting aside what a petty bitch he turned into - he went somewhere where he’s got a good opportunity to play. If he puts up any kind of numbers, some desperate G4/P2 team is going to pay him many bags to come back to big boy football.

I watched OSU-Tech and this was the feel. I will note that he did show up on two 3rd-shorts to get good pushes.

His anchor in pass pro needs work and pad level in power. He looked basically mistake-free, which is why his PFF is so high. He just wasn't bullying guys though. Granted this was against two NFL DTs and super senior Skylar Gil-Howard.

His Georgia Tech film was really good. He would have been a good fit here, but he took that sweet Auburn money instead and got stuck with their shitshow quarterbacks. He picked the worst situation possible last time, so he might be a dumbass.

63.2 PFF grade overall last year, across 444 total offensive snaps. Played in 10 games, started six.

Deciding on going with the school with a new coach and new qb in your contract year is a definitely a choice.

Yep. If your first major choice was to choose an offense with Jackson Arnold, it’s quite obvious he’s not serious. Or is just stupid
