Thayne Jackson, 3 star OT commits to the Griz

[bgbigdog]

I know "stars" are irrelevant, but is this he first 3 star lineman?

First one this month!

Thanks for bailing me out. I should have visited the list before asking.

Seriously, that's a very athletic looking 265 pounder. If Jackson stays that trim and hits 285, he'll be a beast. Glad you're a Griz, Thayne.

I hope he works hard enough and has good chemistry with the coaches or he will be gone next year.

God Bless and good luck with your new team.

2. 3 star and a 2 star verballing to Oline.....if they stick, stay healthy and maybe get another couple very solid players you will see a team that can dominate the line of scrimmage for multiple years.

Now get some running backs that can run behind them and burst through the holes!

H/T to Grizindabox for sharing it first on another thread.

Nice! I liked the play in his highlight reel where the opposing player jumps up (trying to jump over???) Jackson and just splats and slides off. Nice to see a big O lineman headed our way!

You can have all the studs you want and a stud QB but if you cant win at the LOS you will never win a NC!

Impressive. There's, what seemed liked, an endless number of plays on his "reel" and he knocked 90% of the guys he was blocking on thier ass.

 

[UMAlum]

Yes !!

Yep....now if a couple D linemen studs on the want list sign it could be a very bright future

This guy has DOLA written all over his face. I like it! Go GRIZ!

 

[griz5700]

Great pick up.

Although it's time to move on from DOLA. That left with Hauck. Hard to be "DOLA" when you never put a hand in the dirt.

Man he looks young, but good physique on the kid.

 

[kemajic]

Hard to believe that as a 3-star his only other offers were from Missouri State and Weber.

We are building a great recruiting class on paper so far, but lets not forget how many 3 star guys we lost right before signing day last year. Still can't believe Cody Baker went to New Mexico.

On that note, from his comments and family connection it sounds like Thayne Jackson is a lock. What a great get!

 

[George Ferguson]

I forgot about Baker. Heck, he might have found his way into the starting lineup this past season for the Griz.

. Don't forget Cody Baker to New Mexico, Alex Neale to UNLV, Chris Schlichting to Eastern, Woody Brandom Msu all were Commited and all were 3 stars and all were up until the last few weeks all about the GRIZ and they went elsewhere I for one won't get excited till its on paper in February
