Griz O Line and D Line from Roster

[GriznMN]

I'm not sure if this information is somewhere else. If so, mods feel free to delete. I bolded the Griz who are R. Jr. or older. This is NOT a statement on if or who the Griz need to bring in. It's a snapshot of what the Griz have.

I wanted to provide it because when I went to the roster I didn't realize the numbers and experience the Griz have for both OL and DL. It helps me to know what the Griz have. I'm hoping it can be of benefit to others during this open transfer portal period and into the spring.

Offensive line:
Austin Buehler (55) - R. Jr - 6' 5" 285lbs

Wow, the D-Line is light (as in weight).

Wow, the D-Line is light (as in weight).

4 guys departed were 287, 252, 240 and 236. The CW DE transfer was 250 in an article I read. The returning Griz should all or mostly gain some weight/strength from 2025.

This DL in 2025 wasn't much, if any bigger. Ramos by maybe 7 pounds over the other nose's weight in 2025.

If Hayden hanks is truly signed I'd go Keim,Hanks/Bailey,seumalo for a 3 man front.

Wow, the D-Line is light (as in weight).

I was going to say the same thing. They need to get off the Jenny Craig meal plan and onto the Sumo wrestling meal plan, sheesh!

 

[billingsgriz]

If we are going to play a true 4-2-5, we need to quit asking a Hunter Peck @ 6-2 250, to put both hands in the dirt and play a defacto DT and then bring in a LB to his left like Solo to play a defacto DE--Brock Osweiler on the second broadcast UM-MSU was confused and kept referring to Hunter as an undersized 250 lb. DT. Not being critical of Hunter or Solo--both played heorically and both were All Big Sky as a result !!!

What I am saying is we just should have left Hunter @ DE, and brought in Bailey @ 6-2, 280 to play side by side last year with Ramos and this year with Ramos' replacement at DT.

Our D line needs to get both bigger and stronger, and we need to utilize a true 4-2-5--not another 4-2-5 light--next year with two big 280-300 lb DT's playing side-by-side against good run-heavy teams or we will get run over again !!!

The DL is about the same weight as last season.

Pifferini will probably play at 240 or over.

 

[mthoopsfan]

If Hayden hanks is truly signed I'd go Keim,Hanks/Bailey,seumalo for a 3 man front.

Where was Keim this past season. Schwartz was playing alot. Pifferini was hurt, but I hear he's likely to be very good.

 

[alabamagrizzly]

So base off experience, this is our starting 5.

Lucas Freitas RJr 6' 6" 318. 34 games
Carter Bowen Sr 6' 7" 318. 13/31 games
Austin Buehler RJr 6' 5" 285. 12 games
Torin Jeske RSo 6' 6" 271. 6 games
Matt Hilden RSo 6' 6" 309. 4 games

Obviously i have no idea who's gonna play what position, center being the big question mark.

 

[alabamagrizzly]

Keim played on special teams all year. 14 games but no stats.

 

[alabamagrizzly]

The DL is about the same weight as last season.

Pifferini will probably play at 240 or over.

Those are last years weights. They wont update for a while still.

 

[Downwiththefoe1]

Schwartz seems to thrive as a pass rusher, im going to take the size of Keim on 1st and 2nd down.

 

[alabamagrizzly]

The DL is about the same weight as last season.

Pifferini will probably play at 240 or over.

Nevermind, i see you were already correcting someone else .

 

[kemajic]

If we are going to play a true 4-2-5,

We aren't.

 

[BrownBear9501]

So base off experience, this is our starting 5.

Lucas Freitas RJr 6' 6" 318. 34 games
Carter Bowen Sr 6' 7" 318. 13/31 games
Austin Buehler RJr 6' 5" 285. 12 games
Torin Jeske RSo 6' 6" 271. 6 games
Matt Hilden RSo 6' 6" 309. 4 games

Obviously i have no idea who's gonna play what position, center being the big question mark.

Hopefully two of the guys can play C so that the Griz can rotate them all season long.

 

[Da Boyz Mom]

We aren't.

Sad but true

 

[DayLaw]

Yikes.

Don’t forget we have a few players coming in who have game experience, it is a little better than it looks right now

It’d be cool if we ran a 4-2-5 or had run a 4-2-5. Which we don’t…and we haven’t…ever.
