If you don't remember him, he was the JUCO DT we recruited a couple years ago, got to the team, then the recruiting violation got out and he was booted from the team.
Well it's now being talked about he's a late round prospect in the upcoming draft. He played for Regina in Canada the last 2 years. He had 42 tackles, 8 tackles for loss, 6.5 sacks, 3 passes deflected and 2 forced fumbles this past season in 8 games.
Here's an article on him at East-West Shrine game practices...LINK

he made a big play during the game, i immediately knew who he was. they said he transferred from LSU for "minor recruiting violations"

Glad to see him do well.
After he left LSU, I played a very, very small part getting him to Canada.

Do they play "canadian rules" football in college in Canada?
