Bryan Mone may early enroll
Per Sam Webb, Bryan Mone is working toward graduating early in order to enroll in January. Always excited to see linemen enroll early:
Per Salt Lake City, Ut. Highland coach Brody Benson, #michigan commit Bryan Mone is working toward graduating early so he can enroll January
If it happens, that would bring the 2014 early enroll list to five:
Michael Ferns
Wilton Speight
Mason Cole
Drake Harris
Bryan Mone
He's already stated that, while he would like to, the likelihood of his school allowing him to graduate early is virtually nil. I believe it has something to do with Paramus being a Catholic high school.
Last I'd heard he wasn't an EE.
EDIT: unless you meant "Peppers is going to be EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE," in which case you are right.
I bet he meant Peppers is going to be an Exemplar of Elocution, which makes sense given his prodigious lyrical talents.
Thought that meant Peppers was heading to Electrical Engineering. But that's from too much time on north campus back in the 90s...
I don't think so, I'm pretty sure his school wouldn't allow that.
It's his decision, of course, but it probably won't make a difference on when he sees the field. We have substantial depth in front of him, and linemen always need a redshirt year. Even if they don't "need" one they have the largest strides to make to be competitive from high school football to B1G trench warfare, while backfield players (like running backs, receivers, corners, and safeties) have a much shorter adjustment period, and can usually make a significant contribution, or even start, right away.
While nearly all of our OL redshirt, that's not true for the DL. I think at least one DL has played as a true freshman for a number of years running.
Slightly OT but does anyone know if Mone is a Mormon? If he is, I wonder if he would take his mission during college. I was surprised that Te'o did not.
NOTE: I hope this doesn't offend or come off as "profiling" but I figured the chances are pretty good seeing as he is a Polynesian living in Utah.
Mone won't be converting to Mormonism.
He was born a snake handler and he'll die a snake handler!
Church of God, a group among Pentecostals, more typically found in Appalachia and parts of the deep south, might handle snakes. Methodists? Not hardly.
snake charmers dont last that long
Is Jabril Peppers planning on enrolling early?
Mone might be the sleeper in this class defensively. In other recruiting news according to Allen Trieu of Scout, Alabama has offered Damon Webb.
There might be some mutual interest...Bama has a pretty good APR.
Bama likes physical corners, so the offer makes sense. I doubt it will happen because the kid and his father kept mentioning depth chart as a big reason they liked Ohio over Michigan. If they are scared of competition, then Bama is the last place to go.
If he's got his mind set on the NFL, then Bama would be a better choice.
