I like this commit. He will take up space in the inside, a genuine need for Lehigh. Hia biggest asset though may be his work ethic. He is a genuine gym rat, always pushing himself. To me, that's the trait that makes you really good in college.

Welcome aboard TJ

Main question for me regarding linemen is "how is his footwork", i.e. can he move. As one once said, we don't need four lumps of pasta. No question we need to get bigger in both lines, but we also need guys who can MOVE.

Yes, he certainly looks like a 'real deal'.
