‘23 LSU transfer OT Zalance Heard (Tennessee)

[SugarCC]

I’m sure he could. No idea if he’d be willing

I doubt it, imo.
And, I wouldn't blame him.

I would be surprised, but I guess it’s possible.

Didn’t Campbell play RT at Miami?

No

 

[CAVPUT]

So now we got kids dictating where they line up? Gonna let them call plays, too?

He takes another step in his development, he's an NFL LT...quite possibly, a high draft pick LT. Everyone in the country saw that block he had against Virginia...it got him noticed. Take the next step, and stay healthy...the future could be very nice for him...and us.

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

Yes. Just wondering if he might love to RT if he’s played it before. Weight was a RT who moved to LT in 2021, then back to RT in 2022.

Campbell played LT at Miami. Doubt he moves to RT, since we made Mincey move to RT when he got here last year.

I'm guessing we are wanting Heard to move to RT. Hope he agrees!

LA said in the main thread that he wants to play LT. That’s why he’s leaving LSU. How does that work here?

I’d guess RT for a year with him knowing he slides to LT with an injury or in 2025 and paying him enough to make up for not playing LT year 1.

Why does it matter so much whether it’s L or R?

There's also a value add for being versatile enough to play both tackle spots at a high level. Would definitely increase his overall value at the next level.

I'm sure that's part of the conversation too

I’m guessing perceived value for the NFL. However if you suck at LT but are decent at RT, isn’t your value better at RT than LT? These kids need to trust the coaches they play for more than they do.

Because LT’s make more money in the NFL.

 

[SweetasSoda]

Ah, gotcha! Maybe they need to get more to play other side in college.

Too bad these kids are.....pretty dumb usually. Lol

 

[VolByLaw]

he is on campus and will leave this evening

Hopefully attending the hoops game

Nope. He is here for such a brief minute in time

[volfaninpa]

OU took a tackle out of the portal this morning. Hopefully Heard doesn't even go to Norman.

 

[AresTheVol]

Because LT’s make more money in the NFL.

After abt the Top 4 LT it’s abt the same afterwards. #5 LT is making the same as #5 RT

Perhaps leveraging for more dollar bills from OM

 

[drvenner]

I actually don't post too often. Just enough to get everyone stirred up.

I get it.

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

We really need him to Zalance out the other side of the offensive line.

Doesn't sound promising. Hope I'm wrong.

 

[CAVPUT]

Doesn't sound promising. Hope I'm wrong.

It doesn't sound promising and you ain't wrong. Wonder why he bothered? Edit....gotta have an offer for leverage I guess.

What doesn’t sound promising? AP said he is in town and when a random poster asked if he was going to the basketball game he said no because it is a short visit (only 1 day). That is true for anlmost all of the transfer visits.
