Top Linebacker Prospect Visits Clemson By Phil Kornblut LB Christian Wilson (6-3 235) of McKees Rocks, PA visited Clemson Friday along with his parents and brother. "I liked it," Wilson said. "I didn't know what Clemson was about, and I liked it. I liked the stadium and the tradition at the school. They run a 4-3 defense and I'd have a good chance to play there." Wilson met with Tiger head coach Tommy Bowden Friday. "He was telling me about the things at Clemson different from other schools," he said. Wilson will visit Virginia Tech Saturday on his way back to Pennsylvania. He has also visited Michigan, Ohio State, Tennessee, Virginia, Wake Forest, North Carolina, NC State, Michigan State and Pittsburgh. All of those schools have offered along with Florida State, Florida, Arkansas and Penn State. Wilson said he does not have a favorites list yet. "Every school I've been to I've liked," he said. 'I'll try to narrow it down pretty soon. I think Clemson will make the cut." Wilson had 79 tackles and 2 interceptions as an outside linebacker last season. |

That's interesting that he noted he likes OSU's depth chart, given that we are pretty stacked at linebacker. Does this mean that we're recruiting him as a speed defensive end (like a LEO) or possibly a MLB, where we're thinner? He seems to have the size for both positions and I think he may outgrow the FB position. Does anyone in the know have a feel for what OSU is recruiting him as?

Hale is the prize a LB in PA. Hell, he might be the prize at LB'er in the entire nation. Hale is the best looking ILB prospect that I've seen thus far. Kid just explodes into ball-carriers, he diagnoses plays well, and his reaction time is incredible. He just reads and reacts instantly, so while he might not be a "freak" athlete who can run a 4.4 or 4.5 at 240 pounds he plays like one out on the field. |

Wilson didn't look very athletic to me at all on film...and I wonder why all these schools would be offering a fullback. His first calling has to be on defense and I just don't think it's at OLB.

6'3 235 running fade routes and catches against double coverage, making pretty sharp cuts in traffic, showing an above average burst into the second level...the stand-up running style with the driving knees and shoulder movement honestly gave me visions of Eddie George.
I'm not saying he is the next Eddie George but I am saying that calling him "not very athletic at all" is way off base. |

A more athletic Kudla?

That's what I was thinking...and to be honest, I just didn't think he looked very fluid nor fast in his videos. It's not like he was completely unimpressive but he was far from what I thought I was going to see with all of those offers. Thus, I thought he must be getting recruited at DE imo since I was less than impressed with his films. If you compare his film to Zordich, Hale, Sweat, and Ebitino's, I think those 4 are much more impressive at LB.
