That is a large human being.

I am hoping that i'm not just looking through brown and gold glasses...but, we are getting some big time potential into the program. With the developmental coaching staff we have, I am more excited on the trajectory of this program than i have been since i first started attending the UW!!!

A very bright kid, obviously.

That picture makes him look like a chode, but his hudl highlights aren't bad at all. He has some quickness for a 6'6" high school kid and engages with his hands instead of his body. I really like the way Bohl's staff has been recruiting the past few years. The defensive line is really going to be solid over the next few years.

Makes me wonder if the NE flipper was going to play defense.

Welcome! and congrats. I think he might be better suited for DT than DE, but who the heck knows

And I was thinking he might be suited more for tight end than defensive tackle or defensive end.

I don't see the foot speed necessary for TE or DE.

This young man appears to have the physical tools to be really good. He has a huge frame and a frame suited to blow up. I like this commitment. Bohl and Co. are on to something and the future is going to be bright.

I think I would sacrifice the foot speed at tight end. I would rather have a guy that can block, with very good athleticism and a big frame.

It's hard to cover 6'6" and built like a brick poop house, especially since he has some moves.

The reason I say that he might not be fast enough for DE is we've seen Bohl play TINY guys at DE just because they are fast. Bohl really seems to place a lot of importance on speed at the DE position. Prosser, Windsor, Josiah Hall, Lolohea and Granderson are all legitimately fast guys. I bet they can all run at least 4.6 or 4.7 40s.

Maybe Dunayski is faster than I think, he probably is. And I'm not a coach and know nothing. so there's that, too.

Him at TE is intriguing, though. I agree. It would be like having another tackle out there that's really mobile.

A great TE blocker can definitely be the difference between a 3 yard and a 15 yard gain when running to the outside.

He could be a rushing down DE. You see pros do that a lot. Go lighter and faster on passing situations

I think he'll end up at defensive end. Guys that big, with footwork like his, excel at defensive end. He has long arms and knocks balls down. He gets off his run blocks well. He looks like he has the athleticism to be a menace at defensive end.

I'm just saying, he has the talent to play tight end if the coaches needed him to.

I still think he'll end up on the defensive line.

Would love to see him opposite of Granderson, talk about something no quarterback wants look at.

I actually would really like to see Prosser explode like Granderson did last season and have two jacked up edge rushers with great quickness.
