'19 GA ATH Owen Pappoe (Auburn signee)

[utvolmaniac]

If he puts on a little weight, he could be considered as Dat Nguyen 2.0. He was a pretty good college LBer at 5'11", 238 lbs. But as many have said, he needs to put on the weight.

He is still in high school. He will gain weight geez. 95% of them will need to gain weight. It's a given. Who the hell would argue that they dont need to gain weight. Stoopid arguments are stoopid.

Are they really arguing about whether we should take the #11 player in the nation?

They are arguing that he is a Pygmy linebacker and can not grow anymore. Although he is 16 or 17 years old.

I was not arguing that he can't grow...or add weight. I agreed with others that he needs to add weight - and compared him to Dat Nguyen. That's a compliment. I believe Pappoe is a really good player and a take for us all day. But you are too headstrong in trying to make your argument that you created your own "stoopid " post. But hey, you do you.

The No 11 player in the nation is irrelevant. Plenty of players that have busted rated that high. If he’s a priority to JP and Scherrer ( which he seems to be) then it’s a no brainer for us to to worried about his measurables.

I took it was a given that our coaches want him and their evaluation should be trusted. Add TO that he is #11. Even though some of those end up being a bust, getting one will add excitement for other recruits which leads to getting more highly ranked recruits which leads to getting a team that can compete for championships.

 

[pharmDvol11]

Ok I shouldn’t have said that he’s a take if it makes Wanya happy. Morris is our top recruit and we need offensive lineman in the worst way. We need him so that’s what I was implying by “keeping him happy.”

Pappoe is obviously a tough playmaker. How do you use him? Because right now idk if he’s an every down back or if you use him in nickel or dime packages.

Agreed

You know Wanya was in his ear all day. For this kid specifically, yesterday could not have gone any better.

This

 

[BJWeeks]

I think he will flip to the Vols. I honestly dont see Auburn bouncing back this season and Malzahn is not getting fired with a 30 million buyout. Auburn is a sinking ship

 

[2xVol]

This is such a dumb discussion tbh. The kid is a freak athlete. It doesn’t matter if he can play will lb or not, you get him on the damn team and figure it out later. He has the athleticism and height to play anywhere in the secondary if he can’t stuff the run. And he is fast as hell which is a desperate need for us rn.

Past and current NFL similar height guys listed by weight:

Myles Jack - 6'1" 244
London Fletcher - 5'10" 242
Zach Thomas - 5'11" 242
NaVorro Bowman - 6'0" 242
Bobby Wagner - 6'0" 241
Ray Lewis - 6'1" 240
Al Wilson - 6'0" 240

Ernie Sims - 6'0" 233
Mike Singletary - 5'11" 230
Reuban Foster - 6'1" 228
Kwon Alexander - 6'1" 227

Conclusion... if we can manage to put 25 lbs of muscle on him after 4 years of college S&C (can easily be done in one, but whatever), we're already in multiple pro-bowl hall of fame height-weight NFL comps...

Calm your biscuits people

Actually 247 directly compares him to Roquan smith in their evaluation on his page. So yeah....i’ll take him

It VolNation.... So, yea..

 

[SobeVol]

He would be an incredible grab, anyone saying differently is just gilding the Lilly debating nonsense.
When he puts on the typical collegiate muscle he will be solid!
I personally would love to see him on campus

 

[SmokeyDaBear]

 

[SergeantVol]

If we land him, then he is the best. If we don’t, we were never really pursuing him.

I don’t think anyone has questioned wanting Pappoe.

We have a good shot to flip him.

 

[Biopsyman]

Will you guys just stop...

He's one of the top players in the nation... Anybody would be lucky to have him... if he comes here it would be a Godsend... true NFL-mold 3-down LB

I just hope he doesn't end up at Georgia

or at Vandy

Sorry, post #1877 had me confused.

 

[jbr82]

AL Wilson, Westmoreland, Simon, and Mayo were around the 5-11 to 6-1 range. And they bulked up after that got Knoxville.

 

[Memphisvol87]

This kid with JJ Peterson would be a great start to a fast and physical defense
