Please will someone explain to me how this guy got overlooked by the recruiting services. I just watched his senior highlights and IMO... he is the gym of the class. Big, strong, and has a mean streak that rivals the best defensive players in the NFL. I just don't get how the recruiting services didn't at least have him at 4 stars. Hell, he looked like a 5 star for me. Maybe there is something that I'm missing. What do you guys think about him? Watch his senior highlights.

i think it's mostly height..
Trey's height is listed all over the place, from 6'0 to 6'2.... but here is a pic of 2 of our new guys.. Trey is 55 far left, Sione Teuhema is 19 right next to him... Sione is listed 6'3-6'4
he looked like he could be almost 6+ inches taller than Trey easily.
Happy to have them both on our side. I think we all see what you see on video. Great motor! Warrior spirit!
Gonna get Samoa-south going on down here!

More importantly, how are we supposed to pronounce this guy's name. I have been calling him "The Trey from Texas".
I want to start practicing name. Gonna need to say it a lot for a few years. =D

It can be hard to make yourself ignore star ratings sometimes, but this kind of prospect reminds me how little the "experts" know. Coaches are MUCH better evaluators than sports writers.

it appears that way because he is standing behind him and the camera angle is from above. it's an optical illusion.

A no brainer 4 star (at least). I don't mind him being short, because a lot of times a tall OL will have issues getting low enough to block properly.
Both he and Valentine were needed so badly in this class.

Couldn't agree more. You nailed it! Coaches are much better at recognizing talent than these "experts". Glad we got Trey and especially his brother for next year

Recruiting services rank kids based on their nfl potential, not college. His height will have no affect on how good he is in college. This is a steal, kid is nasty and height is the most overrated measurable out there

hope he has better production than MJ. I was high on him too.
