Aaron Ripkowski

[deweydw]

Any one heard anything about this guy. I hear he wants to come to OU. I understand that he plays on both sides of the ball. And they would on occasion change his number to 45. So he would be pass eligible. (so I've been told.)

Obviously has the name for it.

Looks like he may have made the roster. They have him listed as FB.

Ripkowski takes gold at state powerlifting meet By JASON FOCHTMAN Houston Community Newspapers | 0 comments

Dayton High School senior Aaron Ripkowski won the Texas High School Powerlifting Association state meet in Abilene, Texas, on March 26.

Ripkowski, who finished second in last year’s meet, squatted 600, bench-pressed 480 and dead-lifted 650 for a total of 1,730 pounds. The second place finisher had a 1,640 total.

He also won Best Bench Presser at the meet.

I think we are set at FB. Hopefully he gets in at LB.

Update on this Aaron. If anyone has noticed, but he's actually been getting some playing time as a backup fullback / lead blocker. He was in many times with Millard on short downs.

Had some really good blocks to clear the way for Bell.

yup...he could play FB put Trey in as TB...

I'm good with the Ripkowski, Millard, Belldozer package. Strong trio for short yardage.

Gosh, what an inspiring story, reading this thread from deweydw's original post many months ago to kiidsooner's resurrection of the story, and beyond. Y'all chronicled it perfectly! Reads like "Rudy." Was everyone as excited as I was every time you saw 10, 33, 47, and 48 take off from the sidelines for that freaking sledgehammer Belldozer? BOOMER!

[deweydw]

He was a preferred walk on. He had other offers. But wanted to play for OU.

[C&CDean]

He got his *** reamed out by Stoops on the sideline of the K-State game for not getting into the game or maybe going in when he wasn't and costing us a penalty or timeout. That's the only time I've seen his jersey/name on TV. I know he's in blocking on some plays.

[NormanPride]

He's in the jumbo package where we have an extra tackle and Millard as the TB. He's our second FB, which means he's legit. We've moved players FROM FB to other positions because we have such good talent and depth there, apparently.
