Bears Pick up 4 Star Navy All-American OL Justin Hasenhuetl

January 11, 2025
8,869

The Bears added one of their highest-rated prep recruits of their 2025 prep recruiting class today with the pickup of 4 star Rabun Gap Nacoochee (Rabun Gap, Georgia) offensive tackle Justin Hasenhuetl‍. The newest Bear announced his commitment to Cal on NBC in this afternoon’s Navy All-American Bowl in San Antonio, selecting a Cal hat from a table that also contained hats for finalists North Carolina and Arkansas.

Hasenhuetl was an early commit to Georgia Tech but decided to move away from Tech later in the season. He had a chance to visit Cal for their stirring Big Game comeback win over Stanford, which left a strong impression on the 6-5/290 lineman originally from Köln, Germany.

“It was my first time being there and seeing everything and talking to everyone,” Hasenhuetl said of the visit. It was amazing. I was even in the locker room the day before and Aaron Rogers just walked into the room and started to hold a speech in front of the guys.

“They showed more love than anyone else. I had a nice time over there."

"Justin is a great player," Hasenhuetl's coach Derek White said. "He's very physical and athletic and he's a weapon. He really can be a weapon in the screen game. He really gets after it.

“He had a big setback as a junior, tearing his ACL. He's all back. He's going to be a 300 pounder when he's in college. He just has such a fast metabolism.

“As a person, he's a very humble person. He's a sweet kid who really, really cares for people and made a story for himself, coming all the way from Germanu the other year and going through the little bit of injury his junior year and finally getting his own choice where he's going to be at school.

“Amazing story."

The talented lineman is projected by some as an offensive guard at the next level and will likely get looks at Cal for both. He was also offered by Auburn, Clemson, Florida, Florida State, Michigan, Oregon, Tennessee, USC and more.

Hasenhuetl will be joined by fellow prep offensive linemen Skyridge HIgh School (Lehi, Utah) OG Ben Howard and Liberty OT Mike Klisiewicz and five additional portal OL additions in the 2025 class.

Army stopped sponsoring the game @5 years ago and for awhile it was just the All-American Bowl.

Good to see our recruiting has turned the corner and specifically to his quote about "treating him better than anyone" that is a great sign.
My vocal criticism of Wilcox has been rooted in 3 key easily fixable areas that I believe have hindered him…

1.) recruiting - very clearly seems fixed

2.) playcalling aka not micromanaging and not doing boring conservative offensive schemes coupled with zone coverage anytime we have a lead - changes have been made so jury out

3.) strength and conditioning has been poor and the injury record and penalty breakdown by quarter of oline in particular in late quarters has been poor as well - changes were made so jury out

Ultimately I will eat crow if he 180s this thing. The recruiting issue was the biggest one so all he has to do now is hand the keys to Harsin and work with Sirmon on not switching to prevent d in late quarters. I am very hopeful he will.
This is a huge get to get this caliber of tackle in the same class as JKS

Also, any explanation for why he is "projecting at interior oline"?
I thought he played tackle in hs and is on the lankier side for an olineman at 6-5 290. Tackle seems a better fit at face value.

cnhth, justin is closer to 250-260 lbs than 290 lbs...he wuz previously committed to georgia tech until that relationship soured which included the yellowjackets staff concerned about what they felt wuz agreed upon weight gains that did not materialize to their satisfaction

bottom line, this is a +1 athletic o-lineman with a lotta upside but he's gonna have to 100% embrace the s&c program to compete for early rotational playing time

agreed with all 3 of ur points of past concern, my biggest concern at this time is special teams with the entire room gone...ideally wilcox would reach out to bhaghani at ucla at the end of this spring with a $250,000 nil offer & an acceptance letter into the haas biz school...or the bears could potentially lose multiple games again in 2025 with a new kicker, new longsnapper & new placeholder along with a new punter who never kicked a ball in a college football game during his first 2 years of college...additionally, nobody in longwell's room is earning an undergraduate berkeley degree

shocky is not a fan of longwell, anybody who could not see the collin morikawa like precision of his ball striking & ice in his veins demeanor should not be running the bears kicking operation but he's a couer d'alene beer drinking buddy of the head coach who publicly says "we're lucky" to have longwell on the staff

there's no evaluation metric on planet earth that would justify that ******* dumb azz statement

The recruit's own Twitter says he is 290. Did you weigh him?

I guess we will find out in a few weeks. 5 public major sources list him as follows: 260, 270, 275, 290, 290.

He's been following Cal on BI for years, reading the "intermittent fasting" thread.

I'm sure that he was 260 at some point (perhaps in his initial HS recruiting profile?), and 270, somewhere along the line. So that wasn't necessarily incorrect information, either. And he undoubtedly passed the 275 mark on his way to his current [reported] 290, so all of that information is likely true to some point, depending on how the conveyor of the information chooses to cherrypick it. And he will also, I suspect, likely be 300lbs by the start of the 2025 season, after getting with Cal's new S&C and P4 nutrition programs.

He doesn't look anything close to 290. My good friend's son is an OL in college and he's a legitimate 6'4 280 and he's thicker than this kid 100%.

Here are a couple photos of Shaun (#70) (one from HS and another from his Freshman year this year at Portland State). For reference the kid next to him in the HS photo is 6'3 335lb.

Looks like two different photos from two different time periods. Maybe even a couple of years apart. The top photo shows him as obviously significantly bigger (bigger than the other lineman in the photo). And his hair flows well out of the back of his helmet, as opposed to the tight curly doo he is sporting in the bottom photo. In the top photo you could not get me to argue that he was not 290. And even if he was 275-280 in the top photo, that was 'then' and "now' is "now". And, additionally, he does not appear to be 50 lbs lighter in the bottom photo than the player next to him who you claim to be 335 lbs.

I found the All American Bowl announcement promotion, and it actually lists him at 300 lbs, so that is a sixth source.

About JH, who knows? Surely the coaches got a darn good idea of how big he is, when he came for his visit. Even if they didn't weigh him, they can size up players better than that dude working at the carnival.

Heights, weights and 40 times... you hear all sorts of stuff, much of which is not true (or not current).

Why are we arguing this point. Just weigh him and measure him when he gets here?

My kid is in this recruiting stuff with his clients all the time. Take 15 lbs off what is reported. Since the player is from Germany I wouldn't be surprised the measurements are closer than that. Also rest assured he got measured and weighed when he was on his visit. Weight varies a lot. His frame can carry the weight regardless so give it a rest. Go Bears!

Just have him eat more schnitzengruben if he's light.

The real hope is that he doesn't have to play as a true freshman, that the transfers have created that depth. So then he has a year in the S and C program, and develops as needed.

All that matters are the dates. All could be right! Won't even go down the path of "is it good weight or bad weight."
Think about how much weight he is going to lift between now and when he sits foot on campus. Then it's the Summer workouts. Obviously, young men respond differently to weight training, and of course, the programs are designed differently per position.
For me, lifting at Cal changed my life, and I gained incredible strength, while losing a lot of weight. I wish I could do that now, ha....

The reading comprehension comment was pretty accurate. I explained fairly clearly that one photo was a photo of my friend's son from high school and one was from his freshman year at PSU. Just a comparison of someone who is listed as close to JH's weight but appears to be just a bit thicker. Why is this "taking an L"?

You are definitely not the one taking the "L". Like you said, you explained the pics quite clearly. If they didn't get it, hopefully they'll catch up.

About JH, who knows? Surely the coaches got a darn good idea of how big he is, when he came for his visit. Even if they didn't weigh him, they can size up players better than that dude working at the carnival.

Heights, weights and 40 times... you hear all sorts of stuff, much of which is not true (or not current).
Depends on lower body. In the AA game clip, he looks in the 270 range for upper body, but lower body is not shown.

If he has a high metabolism, as suggested, it'll take some real work to get to 300, but once there, look out. He keeps a straight back and runs freely. Maybe a center? Speaking of which, who will it be in '25?

Haha, that kid was a beast at middle LB / SS and hit like someone twice his size. They were state champion runner up and he brought the pain for a small guy. He created a lot of fumbles that year.

He doesn't look anything close to 290. My good friend's son is an OL in college and he's a legitimate 6'4 280 and he's thicker than this kid 100%.

Here are a couple photos of Shaun (#70) (one from HS and another from his Freshman year this year at Portland State). For reference the kid next to him in the HS photo is 6'3 335lb.
Looks like two different photos from two different time periods. Maybe even a couple of years apart. The top photo shows him as obviously significantly bigger (bigger than the other lineman in the photo). And his hair flows well out of the back of his helmet, as opposed to the tight curly doo he is sporting in the bottom photo. In the top photo you could not get me to argue that he was not 290. And even if he was 275-280 in the top photo, that was 'then' and "now' is "now". And, additionally, he does not appear to be 50 lbs lighter in the bottom photo than the player next to him who you claim to be 335 lbs.
Reading comprehension...


??? - Maybe just take the L?

Yet the conversation was about Hasenhuetl (sp), for whom both photos were being offered as some sort of [purported] evidence that the [alleged] "335 lb guy" standing next to Justin was proof that Justin was only 260 lbs, which could not have been a more ridiculous 'visual argument' with even a casual glance at the two photos. Hence, "take the L".
