Anyone have an updated weight on Valentine? 247 had him at 338, but rivals and scout have him 285

Great news, undoubtedly has to be partially because of Ego and Johnson jumping to the NFL paired with Willis choosing Florida


Nothing to do with Willis' decision.

More of a true DT in our system

Probably has a better shot at immediate impact than Willis. NOT saying he's better than Willis

Does this guy really fit our scheme? I mean, he looks like a great run stuffer. He seems kinda slow and we haven't really had much success with huge DTs. We definitely need help at DT. If we were to get him and either Thomas/Carter that's a dline class to go with last year. If we were to land Thomas/Carter/Valentine...wow.

We need this kid. Big,strong,tough run stuffer in the middle of the line. Must get. As important as any defensive position we need to recruit. Could use one more just like him. DLine needs to be more imposing against the big backs we play against.

Absolutely. Have you seen the LSU rush defense the past two seasons?

Yea but Willis has versatility. He's quick and big. He could probably play DE or DT.

Yes but I'm saying that because we haven't had much success with huge DTs. We definitely need help...especially with Ego/Johnson gone. I'm not sold on either QT or Cristian starting next year.

Yes, he fits our scheme. We need DTs who can stop the run up the middle. We have been gashed the past couple of years.

We need run-stuffing DTs who can penetrate and a run stuffing MLB who can move laterally. We have not had any of that.

For you star gazers out there, Valentine is about to get a sizable rankings bump when the final rankings are released. He DOMINATED Army practices this week.
