Interesting

 

[OCIVol]

Awesome

 

[ORANGE & WHITE]

He is also the teammate of 4 star RB Alex Collins.

 

[ORANGE & WHITE]

He is committed to FL St as a CB. They've recruited him as an athlete.

 

[LebanonVolunteer]

Kid would be a heck of a DB if he was willing to play defense. Also would make for a good slot guy with that speed.

Give the fact that Bajakian is recruiting him makes me wonder if we're giving him a look at WR.

 

[CMcEver]

...are they recruiting him as a QB? 4.38 40 though, nice speed.

 

[volinreallife]

WR all over this one.

 

[Serenadium51]

Lots of speed, must be pretty raw though, Fl St is the only offer that really sticks out. I'm assuming he would be a DB here.

 

[volfrk86]

Makes you wonder what is wrong with Woulard if we are recruiting him as a QB

 

[Blake25p]

Just watched his film, I kinda like him at QB reminds me of Everett Golson IMO

 

[LebanonVolunteer]

Maybe CBJ has told this kid he could have a shot at QB at some point. There are several articles talking about Franklin wanting at least a chance to play QB in college. Sign him as an "athlete" and give him a chance at QB after a red shirt year. Do that while knowing there is a 90% chance he ends up at DB or WR. He is happy and we don't disrupt our current QB commitment. Win-Win.

 

[Kingston Vol]

:yes:

 

[ORANGE & WHITE]

I'd like to hear what our Florida crew have to say about him. Bump for HG and Jay...

 

[champyvol]

did anybody mention he is a 2 star player, must be one of those diamonds in the rough.

Hey champy, I noticed you never jumped back in the Zanca thread after I posted quotes backing up the truth that he was let go by the staff and didn't choose Duke over UT.

Just like to jump in, stir up trouble and leave don't you? Awww poor champy wasn't hugged enough as a child. Here let me help, it's not your fault. It's not your fault. It's not your fault.

Good player with upside at DB but he was only a take to get his teammate. Now that Gran is gone and Collins looks like a UM/UF battle...FSU has told him to look around bc numbers are tight :lol:

If Miami gets hit with stiff penalties (bowl bans, scholarship reductions, etc.) and with Gran leaving FSU, do you think Collins looks around outside of FSU and Miami?

I like those apples, Ron.

Ugh, I would rather close on Derrick Green and get Folston or Kamara instead of these package deals that burn a scholly.

Reggie White was the lower part of a package deal.

 

[recoachtn]

Personally, not impressed by his QB skills but really like the speed. The question that is impossible to answer from that film is does that speed translate well at other positions? He's fast but can he catch? Does he have the hips, cover skills to play DB?

swanson some of us are not like you living in mommies basement and can play on the computer all day long. some of us live in the real world and have jobs. still don't understand the concept of dropping zanca if we are going to offer a bunch of scrubs. doesn't make alot of sense.

He's visiting UF this weekend and some have said that if things go well he could commit but I've been hearing for awhile that if UM doesn't get hit too hard he'll recommit..a month ago he was he was close to committing to Wisc before the coaching change.
