Even as great a prospect as Sewell was he struggled at times pretty badly just flipping sides. I can't remember, maybe it was Geff Schwartz, but he basically said flipping sides is WAY harder than anyone ever realizes and it's kind of foolish to expect many to be able to do it well. He said sliding down same side is easier, so we will see I guess.
It's one of the reasons I'm not so hard on Nicholas Petit-Frere for the Michigan game. He was a RT in 2020 then flipped to LT in 2021 but for that game he had to go back to RT vs 2 of the top edge rushers in college football Aiden Hutchinson and David Ojabo.
