Josh Knipfel (class of 2017) commits

[wgleason]

Let's assume CW's birdie is correct, where do people see him starting? Guard or Tackle? And ahead of who?

My uneducated guess would be a 4 way battle at both guard spots between Oge, Meeker, Dawson, and Knipfel. Unless he can play tackle, then he would be in a 3 way battle with Campos and Foster.

I think he can either Guard or Tackle based upon the few highlights I saw. Not sure who he would displace.

 

[WIB]

Campos,Dawson,JGJ,Knipfel,Foster Book it!

Wherever they need him is the correct answer. This staff emphasizes the ability to play every position along the line. Hopefully he won't be needed at center of course.

 

[Frak]

I really doubt that he's able to start right away. But, he could easily be in the conversation at OG with Oge, Dawson and Garcia and allow Meeker to compete at OT. Meeker's and JGJ's versatility should really help if we see an injury or two. I trust Manning to get the best 5 on the field whatever the circumstance.

 

[Gerbs]

Campos,Dawson,JGJ,Knipfel,Foster Book it!

Didn't CMC already say Campos is playing RT?

 

[SimpsonCyclone]

Campos,Dawson,JGJ,Knipfel,Foster Book it!

I will bet anything that Meeker will be starting. Either at G or T. But he will be starting. You can book that.

 

[Rabbuk]

It's weird to have depth.

 

[Beyerball]

Campos,Dawson,JGJ,Knipfel,Foster Book it!

Campos will not be playing LT unless out of necessity..and I wouldn't discount Meeker just yet.

 

[Acylum]

It's weird to have depth.

Even weirder to have depth with size.

 

[Stewo]

There's no question that the OL and DL will look completely different than last year.

 

[CloneGuy8]

Was he a good prospect before the injury, or did he blow up at the JUCO level?

 

[Beyerball]

Blew up at Juco...He played OT and DT in HS. He's a big boy. Had he waited until 2018 he prob would have had dozen or more major P5 offers. But it seems he was set on being a cyclone which is good.

 

[clonedude]

So was it just the ACL injury that hurt his offer list out of high school?

On another note, that Hampton team he was on had some big boys on it. Did anyone else go to college for football anywhere?

 

[The_Gent]

Anyone that has seen this kid in person have any thoughts on his game?

 

[Beyerball]

Foster- RSFR
Meeker- RSSO
Dawson- SR
JGJ- RS SO
Ogu- RS JR
Knipfle- SO
Campos- SR*
Garcia- SR
Mueller- RSFR

2018 will be best Oline this program has seen in 2 decades. Exiting times ahead. Campos could possibly stay for 6th year and would likely get it but if he has a good healthy year he might go pro.

I've heard he looks a lot like Anthony Munoz.

 

[clonedude]

Does anyone know how you pronounce his last name?

 

[WIB]

Does anyone know how you pronounce his last name?

I believe it is pronounced "St-ud"

 

[WIB]

Didn't CMC already say Campos is playing RT?

Left tackle, right tackle, middle tackle, whatever

 

[clonedude]

I believe it is pronounced "St-ud"

Ahhhh.... that's what I thought. Thanks for confirming!
