2023 Guys Being Dudes watchlist (Offense)
By: Ryan Quigley
To quote a legendary meme from Vine courtesy of the current Offensive Line coach at Texas A&M “What’s better than this? Guys being dudes”
That has become a way of life to “football guys” this list is a way less significant honor than All-American but simply put it’s a collection of guys you would want on your team because they are dudes. Not exactly quoting Shakespeare today.
