From watching his hs tape, I thought Hamilton might seize the LT spot. But he struggled a bit in the spring game, getting blown up badly by Tyler on one occasion. (Hamilton wasn't Tyler's only victim that day.) Yarbrough didn't show the same athetlcism on tap and may be destined for OG, despite our relative surplus there.
It's foolish to bet on a true freshman starting on the OL for Stanford, particularly at the critical LT spot. But Little isn't a typical true freshman. He's brobdingnagian but it's very good weight, and he moves incredibly well and with great fundamentals. He handled the nation's best DT (Marving Wilson) in practice every day, and the nation's best edge-rushing OLB (Jaelan Phillips) in the Army All American bowl game. So he might be the exception, and we sure could use one.
