Stars definitely matter but this is another guy who proves that context matters more than anything. He has good height - looks well over 6’ in his film - and weight already.
Leavitt coached Bowman, Willis, and RotY Chris Borland, so he is definitely trustworthy in ILB evaluations. Montana State’s head coach and DC are both LB coaches, so that’s arguably the best FCS offer he could have. Looks like a mid 3-star instead of a lower one in my opinion.
