Hard working kid. Versatile, quick feet, but raw as an outside line backer due to playing Defensive end for 2 years at Catholic High


Got kicked off of Catholic's football team due to attitude. Playing DE in high school has zero bearing on ability to get recruited for LB by D1 schools. He's been to all of the camps. Schools know what he has and where he'll project. Javahn is an outstanding player, but not SEC material. He has an offer from USM, which is a solid offer. He should take it.

Just from that highlight alone. I don't think he's good enough to play in the SEC. His good plays are the product of his teammates playing very disciplined and him being where he's supposed to be. He plays with a high motor, but he doesn't follow through with his tackles like you want a linebacker to do at the high school level. He makes tackles, but it's because he's stronger and faster than the other kids. That won't be the case. He has a good inside swim move and a quick first step. He needs to work on his tackling technique and bring his hips through the ball carrier. Is he a good football player? Yes I would love to have him on my Varsity team. Would I want him on scholarship at LSU? No. But anyone can improve and if the coaches like him they're the professionals not me.

I was told personally by a coach that it was for missing a mandatory team meeting
