uhh not to be a negatiger... I wathced about 1/2 the video and saw a guy getting into the backfield because he was not touched..no blocking at all ! sure he looks fast, strong, and bad arse and I hope is brings it all to LSU but seriously, did I miss something ?? He was given a free ticket into the backfield on every play.

I saw him as being so quick off the ball he was impossible to block. But then I watched the whole video.

Rivals has him listed at 240. Throwing on 50 lbs can't be possible.

Thats old,he was 277 on his visit,last weekend.

Even better in the SEC,but recruiting is about potential,and this guy plays with great pad-level,explodes off the line,and nothing pulls away from his hands,and he has tremendous closing speed. Thats all you can ask for IMO,the rest is all chance.

Looks like hes real quick off the ball and has amazing speed for a DT, but I would like to see some film of what he does when hes not the first one off the ball. SEC offensive lineman are going to be a lot harder to just blow past. I want to see how well he performs when teams like Alabama are running right at him. Looks like hes got a lot of potential though especially if he gets bigger

He will not be able to run past SEC blockers 100% of the time, like I saw on his films. But if he can do it 30% of the time, he will be All-SEC All Freshman. His pursuit angle is excellent, his hands are strong, and he never stops. I'll take him.

It's funny. The pick on the left looks like an OLB and the one on the right looks like a DT-in-the-making.
