Hauck thinks very highly of Hurlburt and Jacob McGourin
The way BH gushed over McGourin something like "ready to play now" I would guess he gets the nod

I am sure this is true.mtgrizfankb said:indian-outlaw said:Wow, damn nice pull for a hs kid.
My guess is he can out pull most of our current team sooo. This kid is going to be a stud for the Griz.

I didn't play DE, or OLB, so my question is which side is better for him to be on based on using hands and rushing the passer? I know there are a ton of different moves, but a lot have to do with hand work and counter use. Is there a better side? Either way, I'd hate to be the tackle having to block that stud!

Good question on where to use him.
From his commitment highlights, he has his right hand and it's hard to tell just how much he's able to use his left arm. A lot of his moves are swim/ducking the shoulder or swatting the other players hands away. In the highlights, he relies on his agility and quickness to just avoid and get around blockers, as well. Almost all the highlights are from the LB position so there's nothing really there to tell what his initial strike is like from the line of scrimmage. The initial strike is so important on the line at the DI level for holding the edge on run plays and getting the OL off balanced to perform additional pass rush moves. If I only had my right hand to strike with, I think I would prefer the left end so that I could still keep my shoulders parallel to the line of scrimmage when making that punch. Then again, if you're getting your shoulders turned back inside on the initial strike that probably means you beat the OL off the line anyways.
Maybe he could develop like a Tyrone Holmes sprinter stance and be a pass rush specialist. He seems to excel at LB, though, so why change a good thing?
