Competition he plays isn't the greatest but its pretty decent. I've seen him play and he's really quick. I think he could bulk up a bit.

It was actually 6 teams. Not a weak district at all.

i watched him sack shaw's QB 5 times last year. He does need to improve his open-field tackling, but reminds me of David Pollack from UGA a few years ago.

I saw the shaw game also, he personally had a hell of a game, i really dont want to take anything away from the kid but if you witnessed shaws oline last year it would explain alot about why their qb was killed that game

Yeah i know the kid, hes pretty good DE for his district but hes to small to play it in college, he has a non stop motor and a hell of a work ethic, hel be moved to linebacker for college.


Ill be watching all his games in the fall at St Pauls. Im actually hearing he may get some looks at TE in college. Im sure a blocking TE if that.

And getting stronger each year IMO. ST Pauls, Fontainbleu, Mandeville, etc.. I think you'll see more and more recruits coming out of this district. If for no other reason, the population over here has increased since Katrina.

I personally know houston and i worked at the training facility he works out at..Houston is about 6'2 and weighing any where fromm 220-230 his weight is like a roller coaster, but he has never weighed more then 235. at most he has weighed 240 but that was long ago..Montgomery is 6'4 and pushin 250

This is ridiculous. So over 10 lbs difference you can emphatically say that "he's too small". Gimme a break. Where do you work by the way? I live in Mandeville and Im pretty familiar with the territory here.

Hesters over at PAC, gotcha. Cool.

LB might actually be a good spot for this kid. Does he have the speed for LB though?
