'09 OH OL/DL Ryan Spiker
Can't believe we don't have a thread on this kid yet...I know I've mentioned his name in some of the threads and osugrad21 and I have talked about how much we enjoyed his film...

Watch the kid's film and you will see someone who plays with some violence in their game... |

You hit that one on the head wad...I feel bad for the poor kids he is playing against...
I like him on either side of the ball...He/Bellamy/Tiller/Harris/Klatt are all fighting for the last 1 or 2 lineman offers, and for Spiker it is better to have the versatility to play on either side of the ball...

Spiker is a great last name for him. Love the burst he gets at the line for such a big guy. He carries all the energy from that burst into the first guy he touches.
I like him on the O-line better than the D-line based on the film, but he could definetly play either at the next level. He'd make one MEAN guard inbetween Adams & Brewster or Shugarts & Brewster.

Pretty cool to see a Tri-Valley kid on here. I graduated from there three years ago. Hopefully he gets an offer. 
I'll try to find out who his favorite team is.

Looks like a clone of Mike Brewster when he pulls.

I've been told that both Wisconsin and WVU have sent Ryan letters.

I love his film...I like Spiker at DT personally. He has great athleticism and a very explosive first step. You can see it on defense but it's even more aparent when he is pulling. Great motor and tenacity. He is physically dominant...what kind of competition does he play? He plays to high and relies on his strength too much but you can tell he has some nice tools to work with. He seems more polished on the OL right now but I think if he gets taught up right at DT, he could be one heck of a force. Either way you look at it, he's very versatile. I will definetly keep an eye on how Ryan does at camp.

The question with Spiker is his frame.
