Why so much video on him from the camps? Any shot he gets an offer?

He's a heck of a football player, but his size is an issue for playing defensive line in the SEC. The video is for us to see how suited he is to playing linebacker, which is where he is practicing at camp.

Just like there is a lot of video of Hurd.

I really wish he wasn't so small. He's a heck of a DE, but probably too small for the SEC. And he doesn't look natural in coverage at LB.

Wrong. He's spent only about a third of the workouts with the LB's.

How's he been doing at camp? Where has he been working the other two thirds of the workouts?

I wish the kid luck. He's a heck of a football player.
