Rivals$--Rising junior OL has Ohio ties

Demetrius grew up in Springfield, Ohio and grew up following the Buckeyes. He has offers from Texas A&M, Ohio State, UCLA, Nebraska, and Texas Tech.

Glad to hear he's not an instant Texas commit, then

Because he doesn't have a Texas offer or because he has Ohio ties?

Great feet, fires off the ball and gets his pad level low to engage defenders. Definitely has a nasty streak and looks to have a great frame. I think he has the tools to play LT or RT but if he keeps growing, likely LT. Here is to hoping the 937 ties and some hard recruiting can bring him back to Ohio.

This could be belated payback for Hicks

Because he doesn't have a Texas offer or because he has Ohio ties?

Well it could be some of both, but Texas has a policy where the player has to meet with Mack Brown face-to-face to actually obtain th official offer. Prior to this, the players are approved for offers by Mack, which are theoretical until such time as they meet him. However, Mack sometimes operates differently if he is dealing with a national top-10 player from OOS.

As for Knox, he's a very intriguing prospect right now who's only knock is really his upper body strength and weight distribution. The good thing about these problems is that they essentially go hand-in-hand with one another. As soon as Knox can shift his weight away from his belly and thighes (slightly) then he can start to gain good weight in his chest, shoulders, and arms. His footwork and mechanics are mostly there and I believe that these things will come with time.

Pretty sure that's the equivalent of "paint the endzones".
