Evaluating the Recruiting Strategy at Offensive Line

Oklahoma State received a big commitment on Monday from Lexington, Okla. offensive lineman Tyler Brown flipping his commitment from TCU. With Browns commitment, the 2016 recruiting class now has five offensive lineman committed in the class – the final offensive line spot being filled by Brown on Tuesday.

For a long period, offensive tackle Tramonda Moore has been the top target to fill out the final spot on the offensive line, but there is some speculation that Moore may be forced to go the JUCO route, and may not qualify academically.

If Moore does qualify, I think the coaching staff would still take his commitment. However, if he is forced to go through the junior college route, the Pokes may be in good position to land Moore once he finishes JUCO in two years and could be a more polished prospect at that time as well.
