I'm higher on him than most on the board. Think he was primarily a WR throughout high school but from the little tape I saw before the kid has major ball skills and the frame to carry 215 and still be able to move. Maybe it's him coming from Trinity but I don't think he his that far behind the Delpit and Carter in terms of potential. Thinking of a more physical Rayshawn Jenkins.
 
If it helps us with other studs from trinity then I'm all for it, but I prefer Amari Carter and it seems the staff does too

You take any kid that has started multiple years at Trinity.

They produce athletes out of that place.

I watched his film again today and this kid is a **** good athlete. Flies, I mean flies, to the ball and will deliver a blow. I'd ask anyone here to view his limited SS film and Carter's, without bias and tell me if Carter is way ahead in potential than this kid? I trust the staff's evaluations, but give me your unbiased take.

Where can I find his tape. I think Carter is solid, but I'm not as sold on him as many on this board seem to be.

He is a plan B, behind Amari Carter, and behind the FSU safeties that the staff is still after

Fantastic LB in the making... 6'3" / 190 # with a very good frame! I would take him in a second!

Exactly my thoughts RS and turn him to a monster . He likes contacts , good frame descent speed and could cover at TE with his range

I really like him. I think he can be a true FS which is what we need. we have Brain Edwards who i think they view as a FS as well but we should take 2. this kid is really good to pass up on IMO. He would make a nice rotational player. His ball skills are really good and he can hit. English had a very good eval of him IMO.
 
The first time I've ever agreed with ballhawku. Turn him into a LB. He's similar to Billy Gibson except his frame is more advanced so he wouldn't have as long or difficult of a time trying to put on that weight to play the position.
 
I like him the same as Carter...But I think you only take this kid IF Carter goes elsewhere or you see at least one of this kid Smith or Finley ending up at OLB.
 
Maybe [MENTION=10044]UknowWhat[/MENTION] knows him or is familiar with him as he is from the same area and only a year behind Shaq???
