Better Know a Freshman: Nelson Jenkins III

Assembling a legion of ass kickers is the surest way on the path to a championship. Styles and schemes be damned, the consistent model for winning a title is still getting a collection of the biggest and baddest dudes on mother earth and lining them up together. It’s what’s propelled Bama’s dynasty and it’s what Kirby Smart immediately set out to do at Georgia. It’s what Urban Meyer did at Ohio State and Dabo Swinney at Clemson. Look up and down those rosters and tell me those aren’t some of the most impressive looking humans on the planet.

Talent assembly isn’t typically lacking in Baton Rouge, but since taking over, the messaging from Orgeron is clear: we need to get bigger and stronger on the lines.
