Hopefully he can be paired with either one of the 2 others that's already been mentioned for depth purposes, but man, this guy is gonna be good. His playoff game against Moeller is currently on and he's eating these double teams like french fries.

Early offer Elijah Taylor is a non-factor so far.

After watching his film, two words come to mind: explosive and relentless.

His get-off at the snap is in the elite category and will command double teams. This initial burst, plus a very nice swim move, make him very difficult for a center or guard to handle one-on-one. He really does a nice job staying low and fighting to get to the ball when the opposition doubles him. At one point early in the film he even gets tripled, holds his ground, and allows the rushers to collapse the pocket from the outside. My favorite part of his game though is the way he finishes the play. He is just as violent when he meets the ball carrier as he is off the line. It will be fun to watch him over the next few years as he continues to develop and Coach Johnson teaches him some more tricks to pair with his natural gifts.

I've seen 6' up to 6'2", anyone with first hand knowledge of the kid's measurables? How does that compare to Bennett?
I joked with Tony Gerdeman, who advertised him as 6'-2" on the day of Landers' offer, that Landers had miraculously put on 2" in height in the few hours since OSU offered. Tony replied that the 6'-2" height was a SPARQ measurement taken in Feb. He conceded that he looks 5'-11" on film though. So take if FWIW...
