Kids highlights are impressive. Much more impressed with his throwing ability than I thought I would be.

Someone on VQ asked why he's just a 2 star...

"Don't know. He has one of my favorite highlight tapes to watch. Kid is electric."

He's ranked low because he's short and raw. Potential is there.

Kid's style of play seemed like a dead ringer. I hate that he seemed to be running for his life almost every play, but it makes for some nice highlights :thumbsup:

I noticed he does have a good GPA.

Just how I like my recruits, short and raw. Go Vols!

 

[Vol4Life73]

I think he could end up being a good slot guy with us. In the zone read package, he motion across the formation and have a run/pass option from that position. Great speed, good instincts, could be a great player. He could be a gem.

He's ranked low because he's short and raw as a qb. Potential is there.

FYP. If he was playing wr or db in high school and recruited as such, he would be ranked higher.

Shepard was suppose to be that type of player too.....

Just shows you that the last visit matters in a big way.

Hate to miss on an athlete like this but at least he's away from the SEC.
