One thing that I think is notable is that he already has the size to play DT for us, seems like it's rare a kid will come in at 290-310 pounds(Simon I believe came in at 250)

Just a thought, if we get McReynolds too, would it be out of the question to move Hale to LT? He is long and very athletic. Does he play both ways right now and was anyone recruiting him for offense?

Hale is a defensive lineman.............no offense for this kid...................could end up being a DT or a DE at the next level.............
