I like his frame alot, he could add a lot of weight to it. And if he could keep his quickness he could be good. Very interesting prospect and you have to love his versatility. Don't know if he can play TE but looks athletic enough to be one. Does anybody know what we offered him at. He's listed as both an OT and DE per Rivals and Scout.

Actually he project as an LT. His frame, the length of his arms, his quickness, and his feet have people drooling over the possibility of him playing LT.

Problem is he wants no part of the tackle position in college. He can get away with it though because he's a high enough caliber athlete to also project out as a top line DE.

Some sites have him as a OT and others have him as a DE. I think people are projecting him as a DE on some sites because thats the position he prefers and said that he wanted to play in college. I to have heard he doesn't want anything to do with playing tackle that's why i said he projects as a DE but he can play multiple positions. Bottom line he's an athlete who will probably play DE in college.

Kids can talk about where they want to play until they are blue in the face and even make their college choice based on what they are being told by the different coaches...but in the end what the recruit thinks matters little and a college coach is going to play that kid wherever he can best be utilized by that team. Just ask Joe Barksdale, Prescott Burgess, etc...

Good point... a lot of these coaches will tell these kids wat they wanna hear for the most part. knowing that at the end of the day, they are going to do wat is best for the team. If that means moving a player or 2 around thats wat there're gonna do.

Is that an OSU helmet? If so, those jerseys are sweet!
