I’ve been waiting for this announcement since… Atticus wrote about getting the “Penn State” (sic) tight end in the other thread.

Hook ‘em, Michael! Kick some ass and enjoy Texas! Way more fun than East Lansing and a lot less pervy gymnastic shit.

Anyone have his PFF grades? If he's a good blocker, this could be a great addition. Our TEs were kind of scary blocking last season.

Hook 'em! A B1G blocking TE is an excellent complementary piece to Townsend/Washington/Winston

A blocking tight end who might actually be a good blocker. That will be nice.

Me and my very exclusive Tight End NIL collective which is ABSOLUTELY A TE COLLECTIVE UNTIL THE ALUMNI BASEBALL GAME nabbed him. You're welcome.

We evaluated, we posted, we DM'd Derka, we went All In.

Edited by The Earl of Texas

This is pleasant news. We needed a big blocking TE - this kid can do that and catch the ball when it’s very occasionally thrown to him.

Is he a good blocking TE? PFF likes his route running and pass catching far more than his run blocking, but who knows?

Probably hard to evaluate anyone on that dog water MSU team.

Guess the staff saw enough that they liked.

I'm starting to realize I mostly assumed that based on Eric Nahlin tweets since he was the only one talking about him outside of a paywall.

Well, we certainly have a type. I'd kill for another Geoff Swaim.

Listening to OTF live right now and Gerry also said he's thought of as a great blocker.

OTF is a dollar right now.

Is it worth it?

"Real blocking ability, Eric?"

"Nothin' but the best, PsychMike!"

I use PFF mainly to confirm my biases and instantly write them off as pseudoscience when their numbers don't confirm what I see on the tube.

In this case, we need a blocking tight end, so PFF is fucking full of shit

Oh Jesus Christ now we're going to see things called Cignetti moves? Lulz

No one ever wanted blocking out of a TE before him.

Exactly. Pairing q blocking TE with a better receiving TE is now a genius level innovation that could only be conceived by Cignetti!

Mash as is a Lithuanian name - maybe our basketball center has a new drinking buddy…

This is a Cignetti move on Sark's part. We needed a blocking tight end to pair with Townsend. Our 12 package just got better.

Cignetti move?

You realize before this season we had a blocking TE that played a lot of snaps?

I'm NOT saying that "Pairing a blocking TE with a better receiving TE is now a genius level innovation that could only be conceived by Cignetti!"

What I meant is that I see posters moaning about taking this young man on some social media (Orangebloods, Twitter) because he's not sexy enough or isn't in the top-100 in ESPN's top-100 in the portal list. He's not on the lists, but he's got the profile of a kid that Cignetti would find and next year be one of his starters that would be among the three-star players that Cignetti's kicking ass with. All I've been hearing about Cignetti is that 70% of his starters are from the portal and most of them were (perceived) as diamonds in the rust when he found them at Ball State or wherever.

This is a depth move with the possibility of being a foundational move, ala Cignetti.

For the folks questioning whether he's a legit blocking TE:

When's the last the time UT has had a TE this physical? He's holding how own against an EDGE without any help.

Probably needed one. I'd be drinking a lot playing on that basketball team.

Our freshman punter is a Buskauskas as well. Though he's such a Bible thumper he's probably a huge bummer at parties.

you’re basing this off two grainy twitter videos?

If they have any Lugan blood in them, a bottle of krupnikas would easily disappear…

If he’s wearing burnt orange, that’s a 10 yard holding penalty.

Curt Cignetti was TE coach and recruiting coordinator at Pitt in 1995. I contend he invented the notion of pairing a blocking TE w/ a catching TE. j/k

Is Ala Cignetti, how you cook a cigar?

Looks like Sark will continue to shove 12 formation shenanigans down our throats next year until we reach 3 losses...

But now that 12 formation has Nick Townsend and a grown dude at the other TE spot, so it actually has the correct personnel.

This. There is absolutely nothing wrong with 12 personnel. It is becoming more popular in the NFL to counter smaller and faster defenses. Masunas is a nice in-line blocker and Townsend is athletic as they come and a willing blocker (still working on technique). This could be an effective formation for Texas next year. Rams are using it 39% of the time and you know Sark watches McVay. Ben Johnson came to the Bears and drafted Loveland, they are now using a ton of 12 personnel and went from the 28th offense to the 6th.

I don't like it. On runs, I want 5 WR who slap vaguely at their blocking assignment or just don't engage at all and watch with their hands on their hips.

As God intended.

we've always had blocking tight ends. They just couldn't block.
