Agreed, this can and does happen. That's why I think we are waiting to see if he pans out like we did with Henderson.

Henderson wasn't bad to begin with he just didn't have any weight on him.

How much did he end up weighing? Surely they could have gotten him to at least 215-220 to play OLB. Or maybe transform him into a safety.

I asked Chris Nee his thoughts on Zanca. His response:

"Very good at shedding blocks. Takes most direct route to ball. Good, not great, speed. Very physical off the snap and on tackle." - Nee

I like his attitude and dedication. I didn't want to quote it all. You can read his personal statement under his picture. Follow the link.

I understand that Jay. Not trying to hate on the kid.

But IMO, I still think those numbers and measureables are bad. Even for a sophomore.

I think his film is solid and I understand there are HUGE progressions made in speed, strength, and size between a prospect's sophomore to senior years.

But, Zanca personally would have to make freakishly large gains to be considered an elite LB.

I hope he makes a great LB for somebody one day, and I'm sure he will.

But I'm greedy. I'm still pissed off about what happened in regard to UT's LB recruiting last cycle. I wasn't happy about it in early February and I still have the bad taste in my mouth over what happened concerning Dalton Santos and Otha Peters. UT got stuck with King, Bynum, and probably DE convert LaTroy Lewis at LB last cycle. Nothing personal against them, but that LB core isn't getting UT to any championship level.

UT needs to really, really start strong and close strong with LBs in this 2013 recruiting class. I'm talking studs. And so far UT has. UT has gotten into great position with elite LB prospects such as Dorian O'Daniel, Yannick Nkgakoue, and Ben Boulware. UT has Vereen commited and I think he is going to be solid. Also, Matt Rolin and Ryne Rankin are solid LBs. Not to mention DE prospects such as Herron and Hatcher that could play 3-4 OLB/JACK type positions.

Listed as Much Bigger now.

the interesting thing about him is he is adept at playing off Bigger Lineman and fighting Blockers.

He is someone who could be Hell playing Mike/Mac
