Ryan Baer to Pitt
- Thread starter TheSpecialSauce
- Start date
I remain irrationally optimistic about this year.
I don't always complain lol, we need more of these type recruits if we want to win big
I’m mostly a wait and see type but this is the kind of horse we need. This is one to be excited about. And it’s always a position of need, even when you have a good OL.

A good example of program stability leading to incremental improvement in recruiting. Keep it going.

Good get. Hopefully it’s a sign of the top half of the class is going to improve.
This may be the best player in this class. Welcome aboard young man. Welcome to the PITT family.
I love his foot quickness and control while moving. He has the ability to move under control and stays within in frame for his size. He is raw though. You can’t teach foot speed and mobility.
That being said his hand placement and punch is nonexistent at this point in his young career (that’s something that can be taught.) He leans a little bit when Defenders rip to the inside, but for the most part his pass pro and lateral quickness are ahead of most high school tackles. Also keeps his head out of pass pros (big plus.) would be shocked if he isn’t an OT in college.
Like his build too. More of a muscular OL as supposed to a fat blob.
Btw kid does bench 425, it’s all going to revolve around him working on his punch. Overall this is a kid who is going to be one of the better OL on this team.

North football: Four-star recruit Ryan Baer commits to Pitt, citing family atmosphere
When Ryan Baer was going through his options of which college football program to join, one factor kept coming into play. Family. With that in mind, the 6-foot-7, 320-pound offensive lineman from N…

Nice article on how the family atmosphere PN has created played a big role in the kid picking Pitt.

What about the bottom half of this class that is VERY underwhelming, kids choose schools for different reasons. We better get kids like him more often, or 7-5 for the foreseeable future, even with the easiest schedule in 50 years.
I like the fact Ryan and his family all seem to be 100% sold on his decision to commit to Pitt. Their enthusiasm on social media is cool, and he was pumping up Pitt to fellow OL commit Ja’Kavion Nonar in response to an article about Florida going after Nonar.
