DE, the kid is 6’8

First year playing football this fall. Been a basketball player.

 

[T Dog]

Bring on the big fella's.

 

[VolDC]

He must have some decent speed. There are 2 or 3 plays that he runs a running back down 30+ yards down field.

Realize 6'8" is too short for a guy his size?

I am seeing a big man "Too Tall Jones type" that can run,jump got huge wingspan to really effect the QB in passing. Packing down passes like in BB maybe able to intercept even. Will def fill out more. Already 280 and can move. Lots of upside. The kind of guy I want to see on our DL.

This may be the 5 we're looking for. Oh sorry, wrong forum.

Highlights look like middle school teams.

I went to a small private school in South Carolina and we played covenant day. Very low level of competition.

He appears to still move well and have good coordination for 6'8" even if he is playing against people 8 inches shorter than him. I have seen 6'8" hs basketball players that look like they are playing on ice and cant do anything.

Big John Henderson...

DE or add weight?

5 Tech but that is a prospect I’d like to mold. You can see he is raw but has the tools, upside is big, no pun. Put 30-40 lbs on this kid in your S&C, develop him and in two years, he’s going to be a handful. I’ll offer right now.

Big John Henderson...

Nice comparison, nowhere near ready like JH at the same time, but JH was one of the best ever to play in the SEC.

“Too short for a guy his size”? You been hanging out with the double dead ghost of Yogi Berra?

 

[SmokeyDaBear]

cool name and 6’8 DE.... take

 

[Go Fight Win]

uga offered

 

[roosterjbh]

Hopefully he’s our Shawn Oakman, who was 6’9




Minus the sexual assault

Will be visiting South Carolina for our game this weekend coming up.

 

[Evergrenevol]

Big John Henderson...

LOL, He’s the first person I thought of. Looks exactly like John his senior year in HS. He’s raw, but has lot’s of potential. Once he learns how to play and gets strong, he could be really good down the road. The kid can really run, he doesn’t give up, he chased down backs 25 yards downfield.

DISCLAIMER: As others have said, guys he’s playing against are dwarfs compared to him. But, you can’t teach guys how to be that big or that agile. The most impressive things were, he plays through the whistle and his pursuit speed......daaamm

Out of Nigeria and standing in at 6-foot-8, 275-pounds, Asaboro is in his first full season of organized football. Through a program called AccessToSuccess, started by former Davidson basketball player Andrew Lovedale, an opportunity was created for Asaboro to come to the United States and play. Asaboro arrived at Covenant Day School in August and James has just started getting the word out on him. “He’s super raw, but from an athletic perspective it’s really off the charts how good he can be here,” James said.
