I could be mistaken, but I recall specifically he was recruited to play OL and they played him at DL because he was too light to play OL. I found a few mixed articles, but looks like he played both ways in HS and was recruited by many to play OL...but he wanted to play DL (good move on his part):
Here he's listed as a OT, the #45 ranked OT in the class:
Taven Bryan, Natrona County, Offensive Tackle
From an article when he committed:
Taven Bryan Commits to Florida: Gators Land Huge Athlete from Wyoming
At 6'5", 250 pounds, he has the wide frame and height to continue to develop into a monster wherever he lines up. He also has versatility, as he can stick to playing offensive line or eventually make the switch and become a defensive lineman.
According to Luke Stampini of 247Sports, the Florida coaching staff is open to him playing a number of positions.
"He said he's going to come get me," Bryan said of Muschamp. "They want me for defensive end, [offensive] tackle, tight end and I want to play defensive end."

Whoa whoa whoa.....are you using 247 as a source over Rivals for football?I could be mistaken, but I recall specifically he was recruited to play OL and they played him at DL because he was too light to play OL.

I laughed out loud. I then read this exchange to my wife, who laughed harder than I did.

He says UF looks like the leader...wouldn't be surprised if he ended up back in USC's class, or at Oregon. But CB's are looking like UF (w/ Oregon close). So, basically, not much that we don't know....

That's what I'm here for. Also to answer the donkey post. The 2011 Florida team had 10 non upperclassmen/non walkons on the team with the JRs/SRs it's 15.

So? Only a fvkktard tries to cut corners on OL in order to sign 6-7 DBs and 4 Bucks/Undersized DEs per year.
You sign about 25 per class and should sign 11+ 11 every year. One for each position. You have a few more to play with for kickers and needs due to injuries etc.
OL and DT has the highest percentage of injuries (probably RB too) and a very high rate of failure to develop. It is the hardest position on the field to play. It is why all winning coaches sign about 5 OL and 2 DT a year.

I guess you and your wife were amused by the sophistication and originality of the retort?

We were amused by the silly banter of message boards. I find it funny as hell and always have, no matter how old I get.
You should try it.

I am watching him play against Walton High School (they have the #5 WR) and Hopper is in on every play. this kid is the real deal. He plays like V. Joseph, only he's under control.

Sorry, didn't mean to imply that I agreed with your argument. My congratulations were for the fact that you answered a snarky comment from me, not with more snakiness, but with a substantive defense of your position. I will say that there is more to your position than I thought when I first read it.

OK, so what I just read is that USC paid this kid and he is going to end up at UF because of it ????
Thank you USCw.
