12 sacks as a freshman at his JUCO after being a WR in HS.

 

I’m not entirely certain where our coaches see him playing in our 3-4 but I would love to get him on the field. He could probably play as a DE on passing downs and then be that OLB/4th DLineman on other downs. One of those cases where being a tweener is a good thing.

Until he schedules a visit, I'm pumping my brakes.

Visited Louisville earlier this month and has visits set to Florida and Mississippi.

Is set up to visit Mississippi on the 26th and Florida on February 2nd.  Said he will also be visiting Texas A&M and Nebraska.

 

Three for two guy.  Sounds like he's waiting to see who might declare for the Draft at some schools he's considering.

Dorian is retweeting a lot of husker love on twitter.

This guy fits the bill to a 'T' of what the new coaching staff does, which is bring in low rated guys with a chip on their shoulder who outperform and raise the level of competition.

 

Saw his tape and instantly became a fan. Very Randy Gregory like.

He is not really low rated.  He is a bubble 4 star kid.

He had no offers out of high school. Therefore plays with a chip on his shoulder, evident all over his twitter.

He's the #1 SDE in regards to JUCO rankings. He also looks like he's 35 years old

One step closer to Alabama's level. Need those guys who look like they're of retirement age when they enter the league.

There is a lot to be said for this.  Work ethic can make a 3 star kid a 5 star player.  It is why half of the 5 stars never make good college players, they already think they have made it and don't have to try.

 No reason to believe he'll leave the south at this point.
