I recently took a look at his 247 page and he was actually a pretty highly ranked recruit. I remember him being a 4 star but didn't realize he was a top 100 player according to 247. I know it doesn't mean much, but they had his speed and explosiveness rated as a 10. It's pretty rare to see that.

I was actually looking for him to break out last season! Watched him play in the Army All-American game he and Dion Caine were two of the better prospects I watched. At the time he was committed to UF so I wasn't really sure he was from LA. Then as he continues to impress I thought, geesh this is the kid Les offered as a db. He played qb in high school so he didn't have a position but he wanted to be on the offensive side of the ball. After making play after play I couldn't stop gushing and had my fingers crossed that we landed this guy. I was higher on him than Dylan Charlot the kid who stud us up for bama.I always thought in the right system he would have an impact like Amari Cooper. In kniw way am I saying he's Cooper. Just stating the way kiffin moved him around and got weak match ups. He could have that type of impact this kid is really explosive. If anyone gets a chance watch the 2015 Army All-American game he reminded me of Guice the year before a kid who's ranked high but still kind of overlooked, as with Guice analysts were all over on how good he actually was. The guy from scout even said although he had him as the 5th best back in the class, he had a gut feeling he would end up being the best
