I am not going to project Upchurch as you did but I have mentioned TE IF he continues to grow. His problem at TE is his height...6/1" which is tiny for a TE. Thanks for the welcome...I have been here before and had a great time....last year during recruiting.

BTW, some have mentioned Upchurch for RB. He very well may be the most versatile of the WRs that LSU signs..NOT the best but a guy who can play in the middle of the field, used near the goal line, etc.

One dimensional player IMO. Pure possession receiver...quick slant, cut inside, bubble screen, over middle, etc. He will not run past anyone with his speed and he will not outjump anyone with his height and weight. However, he should be able to muscle past or through someone for good position, catch a quick pass, and grind out some yards after the catch.

6/1

He's a legit 6'2. Maybe even taller and still growing. Plus he has hops.

Upchurch dunk

He's one of the best high school basketball players in Houston. Also a beast rebounder. His overall athleticism makes him a steal in the class. That's also what the coaches think. Luckily for us the only school he is even considering is LSU.

quote:
"Ever since the sixth grade I've wanted to be an LSU Tiger," he said. "When they offered, it didn't take me long to commit. It's my dream school."

Other major schools were starting to offer but he wouldn't even entertain them. Lots of people in Texas consider him the best overall receiver in the state.
