Trautwein’s players are getting all conference honors and getting drafted. Not sure why at times the offense can’t seem to inflict it’s will on other teams, but the OL is getting accolades from the outside.

Honestly I think it's playcalling. Hopefully AK will do a better job of taking advantage of opposing Defenses rather than simply trying to force his gameplan.

I have been supportive of Coach Trautwein....and this is an opportunity to show how good an OL coach he is. Can he take a 5* kid who never quite developed and resurrect him back to the level of play everyone expected? I feel he can and will!

Maybe it's mentioned in the video, but it's not stated in the article (with apologies to Ryan if I missed it) - how many years of eligibility does he have left? Looks like he redshirted, then played two years - so, is it two left? Or three (Covid)? I mean, few OL are stars from the jump (Pace, Ogden notable exceptions) - they sort of come into their own after two/three years in a program. Rucci has the pedigree and measurables - hope he reaches that potential here.
