6’4” is just what we need on the outside though.Can't tell if this was just a major update to his page or not but it's notable that Orr picked up six offers today from G5 schools.
That would be a real solid, depth enhancing pickup at worst, and a new starter at best.
Dang Illini hitting the Columbus area hard with the commit from Pickerington and the Dublin Coffman kid. Might have to take in a local game or two.Werner with 2 CBs

Signal regarding the cornerback confidence.
Package deal?6' 1" 185 WR from Cincy (2024):
FWLIW, I think Henry feels pretty good about his CBs, but he'd like a bridge (insurance) there. When pie is passing...
J. H. Christ. were gonna be just fine.
I viewing this from a mildly different angle (I agree with you for most part). This is a former 4-star with experience, so they might see him as a player that is too good of an opportunity to pass up. In NFL Draft terms, a player too good to pass up on their scholarship board.Yep, it's possible it's just an opportunity to add a body and they haven't changed their opinion on anyone. That said, Werner has said Henry is the biggest hype man on the coaching staff regarding his room, so I'll treat him as similar to Underwood on player hyperbole. The insurance is the signal, they added several guys late in the class. Staff just got a long look at the secondary either for the first time or in different roles than before. It's likely they aren't as high or certain about guys as they were a month ago (Robert hints at it with one player in his recent article). I feel the same about the staff making offers at offensive tackle. Getting a long look during spring practices may mean both positions make them nervous about the second starter, if an injury happens, etc.
Counterpoint: 5th year senior who expects to play(if transfers).I viewing this from a mildly different angle (I agree with you for most part).

What size is that helmet?6' 1" 185 WR from Cincy (2024):
I am pretty much assuming if he joins, he startsCounterpoint: 5th year senior who expects to play(if transfers).
Agreeing with you: started 9 games at Oklahoma last year and likely an upgrade at CB. Also has versatility if needed.
