Matt Farniok.....
The Farniok brothers are following in the footsteps of their father, Brad, who suited up at St. Cloud State. Matt's older brothers, Derek (Oklahoma) and Tom (Iowa State) played football in the Big 12. His younger brother, Will, joined him in Lincoln a couple of years ago. Matt was a Parade All-American and South Dakota's Gatorade Player of the Year in 2015. As a redshirt freshman two years later, he started four of seven contests played, two at right guard and two at right tackle. He was the team's Offensive Lineman of the Year in 2019 after starting all 12 games at right tackle for the second straight season. Matt was named honorable mention All-Big Ten by league coaches in 2020, starting all eight games -- one at center and seven at right guard.
He was our 7th round pick,,, try and keep up .... :D

We need a top 5 player at OC and have to upgrade at OG in this off season if we are going to compete for a SB

Dak gets the yips when pressured and needs a clean pocket and a good run game

I don’t think the people we have now are the answer
With Daks cap strap, McClays success will now become essential.
WM has always been doing his job, but now hitting on first contracts will be essential, there will be limited second contracts handed out for at least the next 3 years.
Future trades and more draft picks will be essential for this franchise.

agreed but he seems to have potential, he hardly played this year, you can't coach heart..the only holding calls he will get is D holding when he is draggin your *** down the field !
He was on the gameday active roster for the majority of the season including game 1.

That's a good sign for a late round rookie interior OLineman.

He did play on field goal and extra point attempts which is helpful to rookies to get acclimated.

I didnt care about the score or the feel good stats, I wanted to see who was running behind Zeke and now know that Clement is serviceable and Ito has been moved up from PS, also Farniok our 7th rounder looks to possibly be a promising addition to this OL.
