Dave Aranda offered him when he was at Wisconsin and just offered him today. Watching his highlights he looks like an Aranda type LB. Very good at blitzing and disguising it, very good in space.

Offer list okay. Maybe flying under the radar a bit. His highlights are legit. Not super fast, but he's instinctive, smart, aggressive and quick to react. I like him.

I can't stop laughing at the face this kid makes as his head shot for his 247 profile was taken.

That dude's a savage. Super long arms. Just a lengthy athelete. You can hang some good weight on that frame, too.

Looks like they asked him what he thinks of a girl in the rooms booty right before they took it.

We cant base guys off there offer list..if we do we will be belly aching the whole time when Aranda finds someone he likes...We have to trust Aranda and what he has done in the past on taking 2 stars or lower and making them great.

Darron Lee for Ohio State 3* recruit.. Came in with 5* Rakwon McMillan..Lee is arguably a top 15 pick in this years draft..All about scheme guys..Kid has a whole summer to blow up on the camp circuit.. Lets hope we can real him in before the vultures start lurking.

Maybe. But we also don't a defense loaded with 2 stars just because Aranda likes them and he made it work at Wisky. It will not work in the SEC. It takes great athletes as well as scheme. But I like this kids film regardless of his offer list.

Would it make you feel better if he was a four star LB? Because that's what he'll end up.

For the most part I don't get into stars and ratings because I understand it's all relative once these kids get to college against and amongst better competition. But I also realize the ratings of these kids aren't for nought. 2 stars may excel and 5 stars may unimpress. I honestly didn't even look at this kids rating, only his film and I like what I saw. But still believe you can't fill a team full 2&3 star athletes and expect to succeed at the highest level.

He has offers from 6/14 SEC schools. He'll probably get more attention once schools get all their offers out for their recruiting boards after they are done scouting this summer.

Ain't skeered. Kid's posture is telling. Looking to lay wood.

Give it some time. He will end up a four star. Star ratings for his class are just getting started in earnest.
