He's definitely a BC lean but hopefully Frost and his crew can somehow flip him...

I think he’s a VT lean actually. 

 

[BIG ERN]

Hopefully a Nebraska lean after his visit. Would be a major get for our defense.

See, this ^^^ is why (to me anyway) recruiting rankings are crazy and shouldn't really be used to determine "talent level."  This kid is rated as the 10th, 21st, and 50th "best" OLB.  I mean that is quite a wide disparity in terms of evaluation.  Sorry not trying to derail this thread...  

So the real reason I'm posting here is to ask if he is related to Stanley Jean-Baptist?  How many Jean-Baptists can there be?  After all, it's not like the last name is Smith or Johnson.
