I think he's definetely got D1 talent. I think he projects better as an O lineman. I think that's more of a natural position


If anyone watched the state championship game they kid is big and strong, but he tries to rely on that strength rather than firing off the ball. He's a catcher, then tries to shed and make a play.

I perosonaly think his future is in Olympic power lifting.

This pretty much sums it up (for me). I notice in most of the clips on the highlight tape his first movement is to stand almost straight up. If you don't/can't play with lower pad level in college, it won't matter how strong you are. Learning to play with, and use, leverage is probably one of the biggest things for linemen.

Not saying he can't play college ball... not saying that at all. Just what I think most college scouts would take note of straight away.
