    He’s definitely a specimen. What’s kept him off the field?
    Nothing, he was only a RS Freshman last year. He's not as versatile as Mele or Curne so they got more opportunities
    What makes a 6’6” 355 freak less versatile? He looks like Tarzan. Washington and Oregon olines are going to bend teams over.
    He looks great, but let’s face it, there aren’t a ton of good 355 pound OL. It’s heavy. You gotta be able to move. Not saying Ale can’t, but he’s not going to be good simply because he’s big.
    I was wondering if there were reports of him being stiff. Kid looks athletic.



    Nah. Honestly no bad reports. Typically reports are that he destroys people if he can get his hands on them. So run blocking huge plus, pass blocking needs work. Nothing has kept him off the field besides being just a True Frosh and then the next seasons RS Frosh with a bunch of upper classmen ahead of him that were already starters.

    He’s a guard for sure, and had a Junior in Wattenburg in front of him at LG (Ale’s likely position) and a RS Sophomore in Kirkland who was All Conference in front of him at RG. Then seniors at LT, C, and RT which are not his natural position anyway.

    Penei is a freak of nature who could dominate from day 1. So you’ve been spoiled. Most offensive linemen need time to cook before they hit the starting lineup. The only one UW has that has a chance to play and play well as a Freshman is Murao at Center in my humble opinion.
    Looks like Denis has a legit shot at starting this year for Oregon.

    Which he might, though that’s a completely different scenario than what I just laid out, since Oregon is replacing all 5 positions without incumbent starters.

    He would be beating out Forsyth and Poutasi. Forsyth, in particular, is a redshirt junior and was the first to rotate in after the 6 seniors last year. Mirabal really likes Denis.
