Roger Rosengarten, 2020 4* OL, Littleton (Valor Christian), CO (COMMITTED)

Wiltfong:

While Rosengarten may not be having the week he wants at the point of attack, struggling some in 1-on-1s (especially speed to power from the elite defensive ends), I still love his long-term projection. His feet are terrific, he can bend, and he has a frame with a lot of room for growth. I like him as a red-shirt guy before developing into one of the best offensive tackles in the country. He’s tough, long and most importantly athletic.

“He admittedly says his weight is down because of basketball but he feels he can easily put on the weight that Washington wants him to weigh when he gets there (280ish),” Huffman added. “He’s taken a number of reps and worked at both right and left tackle and looks more comfortable at right tackle.

The clips I saw showed him a bit light but also on his heels in his back pedal. He was knocked backward easily by powerful guys. Easily corrected. How many defensive ends like that has he ever faced in real games?

You can't teach his kind of quickness at his size though and his highlights show him destroying people on both offense and defense. I still think he's a top 3-4 guy in the class when all is said and done.

Watt had amazing mobility but not great power. That issue still persists. So hope not a bad sign
 
Someone on twatter said he is playing basketball right now and has lost 25lbs.

It’s not. Get him lifting and eating and it will be corrected. Worse case scenario he’s not a mailer and is a pulling guard with help inside. He’s still one of our best commits. All the tools are there.

Your point is fine, but Wattenberg couldn't move like Rosengarten, plus RR can probably hold close to 75lbs more than what hes at right now. Obviously his mobility will suffer a bit, but it's way beyond where it needs to be to begin with.

I'd imagine he's a RT who gets covered up on the strong side by a TE/HB.

He's probably a good guy ... and a history of injury (so I hope that's a legit excuse) ... but watty appears to have had decent mobility, average athleticism and a giant pussy.

That, or he needed old skool supplements to reach his potential.
 
Another thing to remember is that the guys Rosey is going against are top prospects. These are some of the best players in the country. I would imagine he would look pretty damn gold against the majority of kids that are going to play D-1 CFB.
 
watty moves very well, he just get overpowered or can't move people. Maybe the injuries took the toll on him, but I thought he would be really good by now, but he has not improved that much from last year.

This, and William Anderson literally ate up everyone he went this week. Destroyed all he faced.
 
i am very bullish on Rosengarten. He has a meanness that you can't teach. I actually think these moments when he gets pushed around by bigger guys is good for him.
 
"It's one of the strongest friendships I've had even though I've only known the guys for four or five months (before he committed), but as soon as we all met each other, I knew Myles (Murao) from UCLA before, but we ended up all meeting at Washington on our official visit and (Murao) was like 'I'm going to commit' and I was like 'I might too' and sure enough he committed a little bit later on the visit and in a couple hours at dinner I committed too, so it was a lot of fun. We all knew Geirean (Hatchett) was a silent commit, but we were all together at Mark Redman's house when he sent it out on his twitter that he was committed, so it's really great."

I honestly don't really remember a time when a position group was so tight knit. I have no idea if it will help them be better in the long run, but I'm sure it won't hurt.
