Nice. A little small but great athleticism. Love that shuttle time.

 

[VolinArizona]

Got it as well, and confirmed by Brice.

4.34 40 yard dash

 

[chavisut]

Things sure are lookin up right now

 

[UTCVol]

What position will he end up playing?

I get the feeling that this will be a nice recruiting class.

 

[615 Vol]

Is he related to Yancey?

looks like a DB

 

[KCVolLaw]

He has quite a bit of speed. Not sure where he will play. Looks like he is very good at RB, CB, and KR. Just exciting to have some momentum going, something that was amiss the entire year last year.

 

[vols kick balls]

My guess his position will be Brian Westbrook.

looks like a DB

Kinda short to be a DB.

 

[KCVolLaw]

Kinda short to be a DB.

doubts he's any taller than Marsalous Johnson. Anyway, I think Clawson will find him ways to get the ball no matter where he plays.

 

[chavisut]

Kinda short to be a DB.

and he's not to short to be a WR?

 

[vols kick balls]

and he's not to short to be a WR?

I didn't say he would be a WR. I said he would be Brian Westbrook.

 

[KCVolLaw]

I didn't say he would be a WR. I said he would be Brian Westbrook.

I'd say that's a good way to describe his position

 

[chavisut]

I didn't say he would be a WR. I said he would be Brian Westbrook.

Oh, well that is a possibility. However, he's not to short to be a DB considering we have a few that are his size on our roster right now.

 

[ut 4 me]

Great news. Go watch some of his videos. This kid can move. We just gotta keep this recruiting momentum rolling.

 

[vols kick balls]

Oh, well that is a possibility. However, he's not to short to be a DB considering we have a few that are his size on our roster right now.

We do have a couple but they are not the ideal size you would want out there at corner.

 

[chavisut]

Never said 5'8 was an ideal corner size. We are also in pretty good with Oku who could be a Westbrook type player. He's also listed as a corner on Scout. I'm glad to have him regardless of what position he plays.

 

[smokeyman15]

1420 SAT? Good god...

 

[chavisut]

1420 SAT? Good god...

With the new format, thats about equal to a 20 on the ACT.

 

[smokeyman15]

Oh I thought that was out of 1600, because if it was, he's got me beat by like 200 points....

 

[chavisut]

Oh I thought that was out of 1600, because if it was, he's got me beat by like 200 points....

Its out of 2400 now.

 

[smokeyman15]

Yea, that makes alot more sense now...

 

[KCVolLaw]

Still early, but this class looks like we will continue the trend of alternating a bad class with a good class right afterwards. I won't complain, until next year's class that is.

Lets hope the trend ends after this year and we get back to pullin in top classes every year.
