If you look thorough this thread, I have said all year long that this kid is one of my favorite DTs in the country this year. I have always held out that small, sliver of hope because he always seemed to mention us when discussing possible visits. NOW, I get to be excited. Hopefully Brandon likes his time this weekend enough to commit, because if he stretches it out past this weekend and takes his Clemson/FSU visits I don't think he comes here. I am hearing that this is a make or break trip for Brandon, and with the Brew Crew on hand... PLUS the group going out to dinner with the staff... PLUS the hype surrounding a Willie Mobley commit... it may be easy for Brandon to get caught up in it all, love what he sees, and commits to the staff with Mobley. MAN OH MAN, I cannot wait to see what comes of this!

I'm surprised how low he plays in the trenches. Two words: bull rush

Not an expert but: BAMF...unbelievable first step, plays with great leverage, excellent athleticism, and a zone blockers worst nightmare. One play he actually hits the FB on an option play before the QB can get the ball in the pocket to make a read. Just gets low and drives blockers a mile into the backfield, or just throws them aside if he prefers. On run plays he shows great pursuit angles and athleticism. Great motor as well. How he isn't in the top 100 I have no clue. I'm going to make a very bold statement...best DT in the country next to Marcus Forston.

I have been saying this ever since I saw his video months ago. I have heard many things regarding our run D this year (mainly, to beat us, you have to run right at us because we will chase you down on sweep plays and off-tackle runs)... and Brandon could easily make this statement obsolete.

New Film: Still needs work with the hands...the penetration and burst is obvious, but this is a highlight film for a reason. At times, those skills work against a DL so I am assuming there will be need for polished responsibility and gap discipline. Lateral agility is sick... |

Thompson was there. The rest is a matter of debate. I recommend becoming a member of the Rumor Mill
