I see a Rusty Medearis/Darren Krein hybrid with a touch of Bill Hawkins to his game…..did I do this right?

From a physical perspective, he’s almost a clone of Hawkins.

Who didn’t know this? Lol

No one did. Just cause he’s good in high school doesn’t mean it’ll translate and he’ll be drafted in 3rd year..

Well I believed in the film when I saw it

Criminally underrated

A lot of people did

Apparently a Hall of Fame defensive end was one of them

When they said he was a priority u knew that they thought highly of him regardless of rankings. When Dmoney said that i paid attention especially when Loserville had a great DE on their roster already.

I recall some saying he was one of the biggest steals in this class around signing day

Said it when I first saw his film during the last recruiting cycle. My favorite recruit on defense, and a potential superstar. We could have a special DL if Lightfoot can gain some good weight. Just need to add a couple more monsters at DT this cycle and 2 more beastly DE’s and we could be set for the future.

You missed Ted Hendricks so no.

Hendricks is his floor. The Mad Stork doesn’t have **** on this dude.

Might sound kinda dumb and obvious but I kinda look at it like the NFL draft. I want guys that produced big at the previous level. Seems like scouts and draft experts are always trying to outsmart everyone and find these diamonds in the rough

It’s like man the kid plays in a legit classification in Alabama and put up monster numbers. Take it.

(It’s not always that simple for the Uber literal types here just sayin)

All American TE in HS out of Hialeah, All American DE for us and All Pro LB for Baltimore and you think that's this kids floor?

The next Jared Allen . Allen played at 6'6 around 258 lbs

Hot take: when its all over, the two Bama 3* may be two of the more impactful players in the class (and this in a class full of likely impact players). They're already demanding playing time and pushing folk into the portal.

Will revisit this in a couple of years and see how it turns out.

So the insiders want to make us believe that we stole the next Bain from UL and that he is the new swiss army knife on defense?

Medearis is my favorite DE of all time, and in my Top 5 players of all time. As relentless as there ever was.

Bama 3*s are 5*s everywhere else…

It would be great though to finally start hitting on some “underrated” guys. We’ve been taking too many of them for decades it’s about time they start producing.

I agree with @JHallCanes it’s always a good idea to take the Restrepo type dudes that may not be ideal size but produce a ton against solid competition.

He has a high ceiling. If he ends up half as good as any of those guys mentioned I’ll be more than satisfied!

I think (praying) it was said in jest.

He had 16 sacks in Alabama which is basically 47 in south Florida with the guys that tally stats there

That’s pretty good considering 47 in South Florida is like 65 anywhere else in the country.
