This.
Huge props to Evan Boehm. I was told during the last recruiting cycle that they would NEVER get caught with a guy who can't snap again. With the narrowing of the splits, they can use the center more traditionally and ask him to do less than what they've done in the past with Spieker and Barnes.
That's why they offered Abeln. Kid already could snap as a jr. in HS. Even though his upside was not as high as some of the other OL they were looking at, his ability to snap was critical.
