He absolutely wrecks people in his HUDL video. Made the 105 man Nebraska roster as a true freshman walk on. This is a great get for the Griz!
 
Wondering...does he play guard allowing MM to go to center? Not sure a new to system guy would be ready to make the line calls yet.

Did I see a little "belly rub" there ?


depending on how the O/l is coming along, I just wonder if they may look at him as a d-tackle......his high school highlights would suggest he may be better on defense than offense imo......heck of a run stopper in the 3-4.....just a thought....
 
Watching him pancake guys on offense is truly fun to watch.

Watching him shed blocks on the D-line is impressive as well...

He could fit in a couple places...on either side of the line.

I think Mallory will play center. He was in the spring. Gives AJ a shot at guard and gives us a good back up center option too. Great get!

That's what they were saying about Moses Mallory last year.
