BWI Daily: Freshman Tengwall shines in first game
While the headlines are about true freshman quarterback Christian Veilleux this week, he wasn't the only true freshman to play on Saturday. Landon Tengwall, a four-star prospect in the Class of 2020, made his collegiate debut as well and, according to host Thomas Frank Carr, stood out. Tengwall didn't start the game, but after starting tackle Caedan Wallace exited midway through the first quarter with illness, Tengwall was inserted at the most challenging position on the offensive line. T-Frank looked at the film and was impressed with the physical aspects of Tengwall's performance and the mental ones. He provides the data to back up what he saw on film as a pass protector and explains just how hard that is to do. He also explains how Rutgers was trying to confuse the young tackle and the rest of the reshuffled offensive line and how it didn't work. It's not just the fact that Tengwall was solid protecting Veilleux. He made a significant difference in the run game as well. T-Frank breaks down the techniques that the Maryland native used to his advantage and just how well he performed at them. Finally, he wraps up with what he would do with Tengwall moving forward in the season's final two games.
