If that's the case, Levelston's going elsewhere. Disappointing. But we're used to it, lol.
I don't think this is an either or situation. Levelston is an SDE and Shipton is an interior lineman. I think we could take both. I think it was going to be either Finau or Shipton and Finau appears to be leaning towards Maryland.
Even if Levelston is moved inside we still need immediate depth there given how much we rotate at DT. Pate, Woods and Avery are probably going to be on the two deep next year. Beyond that maybe Okpala could help but he is an unknown. Any HS recruits should not be options next year.
Interestingly enough, Levelston played at Desoto HS which is the same High School that Samari Collier goes to. I also believe Levelston is a 3 year JUCO guy since he was in the Class of 2019 as a HS recruit.
