Don't want to be negative FACT is blackmon is no good and we missed out on copeland! I wish it would have worked out for copeland we just recruited him too late!! Copeland would have been a force for the tigers IMO!!

His film really does look like Powell. Probably not quite as explosive, but very reminiscent in terms of burst off the ball and fluidity
Agreed. Powell is one of the best pure athletes, especially in a big frame, to come through the recruiting ranks in a few years. Just to be compared to him puts you in elite company.

How do you know this?

I know his film is good and all but someone should at least TRY and block him.

It honestly looks like they were playing for the wrong team because he is in the backfield instantly.

It's senior footage so maybe he has put on some more weight in the offseason?
37lbs. in the offseason? Is he eating lard?

I always assume those figures to be inflated...I don't know...haven't ever seen the kid in person.

I think the other team just didn't like their QB.Probably the coaches son .

I haven't finished watching all the footage yet...do they ever attempt to double team him?

Lynx kid didn't even get offered by Alabama or auburn his instate school!! Only other offer Troy!! He is not an sec player sorry!! Wish the kid well just don't see him making an impact!!

Too bad he's going to Tennessee.

i'm interested in knowing his real weight. he looks so thick in pictures, like he might not have room for that much more weight. as it stands now he'd be kind of small for a DT. he's definitely got the burst and agility to play on the outside if he could learn some pass rush moves out there. there are actually a lot of guys in the league who are doing really well playing DE with his body type right now.

How did the services not rate this kid higher? He is a lock top 50 player in the country.
He's about the same size as Josh Downs was coming out...

I would take him in a heartbeat. Screw all other schools and lack of offers. This kid doesn't look blocked cause he's that quick,and plays with a low pad level. Hands are next-level.

Huh? He looks ripped in his pics.

It's definitely his quickness that is allowing him to beat people, not the competition.
Watch this video from the UT camp at the 2:30 mark:

He is still beating UT recruits just as easily
