Hand cast didn't slow down Telfort

Frankie Telfort, 5-foot-11, 194 pounds
ESPN 150 Watch List linebacker
Gulliver Prep (Miami)
Last summer, Gulliver Prep (Miami) outside linebacker Frankie Telfort listened in dismay as the doctor informed him he could potentially miss his junior season with a dislocated thumb suffered during a preseason practice. Telfort was a well-rounded student-athlete, but football had played an integral role in his life, he was not sure he could function normally.
Frankie Telfort lived up to the hype with a stellar performance at the Nike Football Training Camp.
"Honestly, I got real depressed, it was awful. I think I only slept like four hours a night while I was hurt," Telfort recalled.
Telfort had worked extremely hard preceding his junior season; he was in the best shape of his life and had big expectations. He spent countless hours in the weight room during the day building up his smaller 190-pound frame and worked intensely on his speed and footwork in the hot Miami summer nights.

We'll see what's what...we've been tracking him on RP but it has seemed to me like the ideal LB class is Whiting, Klein and Bell...

I think the same as well, but do you think he could be plugged in to a different position? Maybe somewhere in the secondary? |

I could see him as a bigger safety. |

I think it's safe to say this IS a Safety offer (btw, you can take the ? off the title too  ), especially with the situation we are in right now regarding Bell. He and Wood would probably NEVER miss a tackle back there!!

He has offers from all the big time schools...He is a stud on film...Will lay the wood, and shows great athletic ability...He and Wood would be a great combo at safeties, but there is still a lot of others on the board, but Frankie will be tough to pull out of Florida...

Talks about where he projects at the next level and talks about receiving back to back offers from Michigan and Ohio State. Mom favors Florida and talks about the NIKE combine at Miami.
