I know most people have never heard of him. He is an undersized DE at 5'11" and 225lbs (listed) but he is around 235 - 240lbs. He runs a high 4.5sec 40, but he has the instincts of a football player. He still has some growing to do. Will be a LB in college.

Went to Ole Miss and Bama camps and had impressive camps.

He has 17 sacks throughout 7 games, 24 tackles for a loss going over 165 yards for a loss. He was moved to fullback in the 3rd or 4th game of the season and has 4 carries for 3TD's and one catch for a touchdown. He is an extremely humble young man.

The kid is an athlete. Here are some of his highlights ~> HUDL

If he runs a 4.5 why the hell does he play full back?

I envision him being 1st team All Conference USA at Louisiana Tech. That's not a bad thing.

Sounds like he has a good build to play ILB, but the speed to blitz from the middle, too. Does he have interest in LSU? Is LSU in touch with him?

I like him as an ILB. He should petition the coaches to let him get a few snaps there. That's where he will be best at the next level.

You can see he has good fundamentals already and should start working on coverage assignments in his spare time. Going to some 7 on 7 camps could help him there. I could see LSU offering him.

This kid is a player. Very strong at the point of attack, presses and throws blockers. Size-wise I don't know if he's SEC caliber and he is not a 4.5 guy. He's a high 4.6- low 4.7 range but he plays with great effort and leverage.

ETA: With Aranda at DC he may have a chance as a late add as an edge player and get a chance to develop. Seems like he's gonna have a great collegiate career wherever he goes.

I saw the young man play against West Monroe. He is a good player. I know the coaches were talking about him during the week and that we did not want to be in any third and long situations while facing him.

He looks pretty good but he really needs to go to LSU camp first so they could see him first hand and put through the tests.
