re: Gabriel Reliford Commits To LSU

Where does he play? Who’s his comp. I watched his highlights this morning, and he is explosive and makes a ton of plays. And just plays like a great football player. But a lot of his highlights came with him standing up, almost like a Jack in a 3-4. But he’s only 6’2”? Which isn’t ideal for 3-4 Jack OLB. Looks explosive enough to gain weight and be a disruptive shorter DT in a 4-3, like a Wingo or Neal. Hell, Neal even excelled as a shorter DE with a hand in the dirt at times.

But Reiliford made a quote recently that he was adamantly not a DT, didn’t he? I know a ton will come down to who the DC is and what scheme he plans to run. And I think you’ve got to get this guy on the field somewhere. May be ‘25 by the time he gets his body to fit whatever position he winds up at. But what position will that be? Where is everybody who knows these things thinking he winds up?

Boom

His comp is to lose 10-15 pounds and be a beast at LB. Maybe he can build back up, but I comp him to Kyle Van Noy with the Ravens.

Boom. Best D lineman in the state. Welcome young man!

Built and plays like Khalil Mack..plays same position
