His ranking is based on potential, he hasn’t even touched his potential yet, with the right coaching he will be a good piece for a DL, has so much room to grow and a high ceiling that’s what scouts see in him not what he is but what he could be


I agree that he has potential but you can't assume someone is going to unlock it. I don't think anyone is questioning his status as an sec prospect but if he's a 5*, then that status has very little meaning.

I watched the game last night. A senior 5* DT should be disrupting an offense most of the night. He may as well have not even been out there.

You stupid fricks would change your tune immediately if he flipped to LSU.

Overrated yet our low 3 star commits should be high 4 and 5 stars huh

Sounds a lot like Hootie Brown when we recruited him and instead ended up with Jamal Adams.

This is the guy in this cycle star-gazers crave and football guys are meh about. I see him as a depth piece down the road-a big space-eating body-not a legit 5 star animal.

You're thinking of Hootie Jones, but there was another DB from east Texas named Tony Brown that was also expected to end up at LSU but ultimately went to Bama (not sure he did much).


Jamal Adams was ranked about as high as Hootie Jones and ended up being much better. Hootie played 4 years at Bama and never took a snap in the NFL.


Tony Brown was meh at Bama, he was one of those great athletes but developing his football skills type players. He ran track and was less football-centric. He played 4 years at Bama and has been around the NFL since 2018 as a backup and practice squads.


Of that 5/5 group:

Tony Brown
Hootie Jones
Leonard Fournette
Trey Quinn
Speedy Noil

Only Fournette really flourished in college and made an impact in the NFL.

The rest were mediocre and never really did anything in the NFL granted being on an NFL roster is still a good outcome from a talent perspective.

I think his ranking is from his showing at the camps against good competition. That and his natural abilities. Doesn’t always translate to the field. You just never know with these kids.

5/5 was Gerald Willis, Speedy, Leonard, Jamal, and Tony Brown.

Not Hootie or Trey Quinn.

Funny enough, when Hootie decommitted from Alabama, he immediately called Corey and tried to commit to LSU. Corey told him LSU was full as Adams was going to commit at the UA game.

Isn't Gerald Willis related to Landon Collins? That's why I didn't think to include him. Can't believe it's already been 9 years.
