spurs1990 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 247 has him at 5'11.. with that weight of 210 what position is he playing? He's not a freshman with the luxury to get to 230-240 in 5 years. Not that 5'11 would carry that great anyway. I guess he wanted N out of high school so that's a positive. Also if we are expecting linebackers to cover, his speed would be good. 1 Quote Link to comment

Waldo Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Alright, competing against Illinois and UMass. Our LB coaches can’t coach or recruit. 2 Quote Link to comment

Not saying that this guy is lavonte, but that size can be successful at the college level. 1 Quote Link to comment

David was 6'1 and two inches may not seem like much but that can have an impact on all kinds of things like reach. You're right that it's not a deal breaker but it is somewhat of a concern when we trot out an olb who is smaller than most safeties and some corners in the Big 10 1 Quote Link to comment

TheSker Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 If he's approximately the same size as David and Farley, and has anything close to their instincts and eyes, we're good. 2 Quote Link to comment

Some are just undersized. 2 Quote Link to comment

I am not saying this guy is going to be Lavonte, I am just saying that someone that size can be successful at the position. Quote Link to comment
