Does he play lower level comp? Lack size? What is it? He’s got some of the most impressive tape I’ve seen out any other defensive kid in the class. Yet I haven’t heard much fanfare on him on here. Maybe I missed it.

And King wrote essentially the same thing about not being talked about here by anyone.

I talked about him last week here and IMO is one of the 3 most underrated LSU signees (medium 4* by 247 composite). The other two being Reliford and Echols. I say all of these 3 are in the top 50 players nationally...5* in my book. He is quick, fast, and physical. Thanks for the SR highlights.

Looks a lot like 2022 Harold Perkins. See QB-get QB

He carries pretty good ranking on most of the services. 247 has him as our second best recruit. Rivals has him way up there. On3 is the lowball outlier…

Good football player but he is smallish size wise.

Pretty good combo of burst and physicality

Showed good range and tackling in space, and every time he made contact with someone around the box they dropped or went backwards

Isaiah Simmons in high school. Position fit could be an issue. That said, he's explosive with that exceleration. Disruptor.

I'm not saying he is a tweener, but LSU is going to have to find the right places to utilize this young man bc he is a baller.

He looks good. But he does have an edge integrity issue. He often overpursues to the edge and gets washed behind the pocket. He often still gets home in his high-school film, but this is unacceptable at the college level (I'm looking at you Savion Jones). I also saw him cut back inside on a few of those plays where the tackle trying rolling him outside, his inside cut ability is really nice. He just needs to use it more.

Based on his tape, he looks better than any LB we have on the roster, including Perkins. This kid appears to be able to drop back, read and react, which Perkins sometimes struggles with that part of his game.
