No one is saying they don’t want him. Me personally I believe he’s just overhyped. I would love to have this guy. But whoever gets him needs to make him mean between the lines.I don't get people not wanting this kid. He has the size and athleticism to potentially end up being a Josh Allen type player. Project two years into the program and you could have a 6'5" 270lb OLB that runs a 4.5 40 yard dash in Pruitt's defense.
The light bulb goes on for some guys at different stages. I don't know this for certain, but I have an idea of the lack of defensive stats. Lots of kids that play both ways take breaks on one side of the ball. It's rare to find high school kids (especially jumbo athletes) that go all out every play of every game if they play both ways.No one is saying they don’t want him.

Yeah very true. I hope it clicks with him and he beast out. It’ll be fun watching him develop with his dad as DC and all that talent around him. Mt.Juliet for being a powerhouse in middle TN are very conservative.The light bulb goes on for some guys at different stages.

Sometimes your life dulls your passion for football. Once you get to a program you can just focus on yourself and your future. Not everybody is like Peyton Manning coming out of the womb.Local HS coach told me today.......
He has all the measurables, but doesn’t have the fire needed to be great. Has moments of brilliance followed by getting handled by much smaller, less athletic player. Said he was easy to scheme against.
Did say he’s worth a shot due to his “God given athleticism.”
Not my words, just relaying info.
Four-star linebacker/defensive end Reggie Grimes of Ravenwood High School in Brentwood, Tenn., one of Tennessee’s longtime in-state targets, is among the other in-state players the Vols are hoping to host this weekend. Grimes, who’s the son of former Alabama defensive lineman Reggie Grimes Sr., has planned for weeks to visit the Crimson Tide this weekend. But Tennessee has continued to emerge as more of a factor in Grimes’ recruitment, and he’s now mulling a possible trip to Tennessee this weekend for what would be his first visit with the Vols since January. Sources close to his recruitment still believe Tennessee and South Carolina might turn out to be two of the favorites to land him, particularly if Alabama decides not to make more of a push for him. The Vols already are scheduled to host Grimes on an official visit the weekend of Oct. 5 for their game against Georgia.
