I would ahve to imagine that this offer is as a LB. You just don't see OSU recruiting many 6-1 TEs these days...

I have to say I am stoked up about this one... I have been talking this guy up for awhile to Max and trying to get him in the all american game. I also think he was like the 97th rated player in FLA, according to Rivals. If there are 75 players better then him, then it is the deepest year in FLA history...

8/12/05 OSU offered about a week ago. Penn State, Miami (Fla.), Georgia Tech, NC State, West Virginia and Indiana have offered. The staff is looking at Colin as a outside linebacker. He is thinking about visiting for the Iowa or Texas game. Distance is not a factor. He loves the northern weather.

Personal Take: I was not expecting to be this impressed. Colin is a very versatile athlete with a great first step, good football sense, and excellent hands. Good offer IMO. Last edited by osugrad21; 08-13-2005 at 06:32 PM.

After watching his vid..... I want this kid, he has excellent footwork for a kid his size, and assuming he goes to college as a backer, that would be a plus.
I say he has the talent to play Line backer and/or fullback at the next level, just think about how dangerous he would be recieving out of the backfield.

Wow, I was very impressed. A couple of things that I noticed.
1. Those are very ugly helmets. 2. I thought he might have looked a little better as a TE than as a LB. 3. Then they started showing him more as a LB, and I was definately impressed. The only thing that I can comment on was on a couple of plays I thought he might have played a little too stiff when stopping the run in the middle. 4. No question he is very athletic. Great tackler and boy can he bring the wood. Maybe more of an OLB than an ILB. 5. On many occassions he got into the backfield very quickly and took the ballcarrier down. Very good looking prospect and I hope we can land this kid.

Either that measurement is off or he just plays bigger than that, because he definitely seems to be taller than 6-1. Great feet, plays with loose hips, very fluid, great hands. Reminds me a bit of Brian Cushing. I could see him as a LB or even safety. I like this offer...

I wasn't expecting to be that impressed either and was thinking he may be overrated at # 21 but after that video I think he may be underrated. I like him better than Sims honestly he looks to be a big time player. Rivals has him way underrated he can hit really good, gets to the ball well, and can make big time plays. On offense he looks tough too very good feet and very athletic. Hopefully we can get this guy. I personally think he is a LB and did think it looked like he is taller than listed. I could easily see him putting on weight and filling out that frame and being a LB. I would like to see Homan, Gibson, Moeller, and McCarthy and that would be a great LB class and would leave room for Schwartz at safety.
