Welcome aboard! Definitely see this guy as a great LT possibility. I think we will find that a lot of our interior linemen are linemen in high school while our tackles are converted TEs. Based on our history (Solder) this seems like a great call.
I love the strategy to get guys that play athletic positions and figure out what they grow into. TEs that might turn into OL, DL; S or RB that might be LB; LB that could be DL; etc.

Let me Rivals sub die, but I'd assume we should change the title of this thread from TE to OT....
Good point. I'm scared to do it because [MENTION=1852]Buffnik[/MENTION] has some organization system I don't understand and that might mess things up.
I hesitate to change the titles once they've been active for a while because I don't want to screw up the google page rank.
I've put Haigler at OL when I do the future roster tables.
And Darth nailed it. The devious, calculating mind did have a master plan!
Don't think you will see him at TE unless it is for goalline. He played LT last year in HS and that is where he will most likely end up at CU.
Love the idea of having OTs who have the kind of quickness to deal with the outside speed rushers in the PAC and are still big enough to handle power rushers and run block.
He looks like a kid with the athletic ability and frame to become that.
Definitely the Nate Solder type that played TE when he first got here and moved to Tackle. This offense isn't huge with TEs anyways, right? I know they started using TMac as kind of a hybrid TE/Slot WR toward the end, but I don't think it's really big on the traditional TE as we know it.
Still needs a title update on this thread from TE to OT.
Not gonna happen. Messes with google page ranks on the link.
Wasn't me!
Sorry, should I put it back?
Don't worry about it. Generally, I'm good with switching them as info comes in until we get to some ill-defined part of the process with a lot of thread activity. It's a general thing. Haigler searches on their own are not going to move the needle much for AllBuffs. Probably more important to have accurate info anyway. I'm probably wrong on this one.
Did you get the Index edited with him moved to OT and deleted from TE?
Wonder how big he will be coming into camp next year.
The 6'7" 250 was coming off his jr year but he looks like a kid who is certainly still growing. Doesn't need to get any taller (But being tall didn't hurt Nate Solder any) but is still light for an OT. If he comes in at a solid 265-270 he could be close to 290 by his second year as a RS Fr.
Liking a lot of our future OL talent. His Iowa State offer would have come at a time when Chris Klenakis was the OL coach, he is a guy with a long history of finding unheralded guys who end up in the NFL. Not saying that is in Haigler's future but speaks well for his chances to be a solid contributor for us.

I understand and will keep that in mind in the future. I did change the index too.

beware the habu
This is progress!!! I am getting psyched about the OL.
A step above Coa
He might not be needed at OT for a couple years, but as a big TE as he grows into OT, he could be very valuable early on.
