Boom! GBO

His brother was a 3-star that ended up at Ohio State. So not sure how these rankings seem so behind on this pair of brothers. His older brother recorded at least a tackle in 9 games including 3 against UT.

Big “meh” energy.

Sounds about right coming from you

I try to imagine this kid playing safety with 20 more pounds on his frame. Definitely has zero problem with coming downhill and taking on bigger players (when you weigh 160 lbs everyone player is bigger than you)

Yeah same. A lot of these FS prospects just don’t have that many coverage reps on tape, bc of the nature of HS ball. Makes it tough to evaluate them. I like this kid’s read-and-react, his ball pursuit, but he’s small and he’d prob need to be 190 on the low end.

If I’ve learned anything it’s to trust the staffs early evaluations.

Same here, what makes me reserve judgement here is Farooq had a very similar profile. So, BOOM!!!

If Penn State wants a player on defense from their backyard, I want them.

No need to overthink this.

Yep, had heard OSU was really working on him to come and play with his brother, who also was a 3 star and OSU seems to like his brother and him.

He's a 3 star with a highly suspect offer list. I don't see the problem with the skepticism.

This staff has been great with defensive evals along with other positions. I prefer ours over other schools who have not offered yet. They usually follow us and then offer.

From the film he looks like he could be a liability in coverage.

Tackles well in open space tho. Reads his keys well.

Not concerned about his current size, but there’s certainly some other guys on the board that I hope we can get at his position

What’s suspect about a team like OSU wanting him that just won a Natty and plastered us, while his brother also plays there and played against us? His brother was wanted by everyone and went to OSU and was a 3-star.
