How big is he? could he play inside?

 

[btrotter]

Not quite big enough to be an interior guy, but it's another D-lineman in any case.

Too small for DT, but bring him on!

Haha I can't until Sportscenter gets wind of this...

Prepare to be disappointed. The LeBron saga has them preoccupied.

Looks like USC used him in only passing situations I doubt he will beat out Walker or Martin but nonetheless its great news

Never been to the recruiting forum until you linked it, so I didn't see it. I think it's a little more topical here.

Was about to post the same thing. They'll spend maybe 10 seconds on this, if anything.

Need all the depth we can get up front on both sides of the ball.

 

[VolFromNashville]

I am tired of LeBron already. Honestly, it doesn't get much better than this: Lane Kiffin, USC, Tennessee and a transfer. It's pure reporting gold

 

[justingroves]

Good.

Hopefully a few OL follow him.

It's depth, that means we can actually get Walker and Martin some freaking rest. Back when our defensive line was good, we'd rotate at least two guys at every spot... sometimes three.

malik jackson must be another soph or junior that kiffin wasnt going to play to make way for his own recruits in the next few yrs

SC boards seem to have good things to say about the kid. This makes me smile.

 

[MikeTheVol]

Hooray! Instant Karma!!!!

 

[utkell65]

Really good news, funny I just ask this morning if anyone had any new news on this kid.

If it was one of their better players, or a bigger name, like Mitch Mustain, they would be more on it.

He won't start this year, but our DE depth for 2011 is razor thin at this point. He'll have a good chance to make the 2 deep this year.

 

[sickemsmokey10]

he's a junior so he should be able to play this year

Very true I agree
