...Jack Whelchel (St. Andrews/Boca Raton, FL).

6'4, 195, verified 4.6 with a lot of room to grow. Moves like a safety and will gain strength with added weight. Performed well last week at the Opening in Dallas.

He plays for RAW Miami (top 7on7 program in Florida) and impressed NFL DBs Kam Kinchens and DJ Ivey with his fluidity. Ivy League grades and finished 7th in state in 110M hurdles. Also does high jump, 400M and 4X100.

 
D$ made this post just so he could shoehorn in "NFL DB DJ Ivey"......

Will he end up accepting an offer to play at Harvard only to get a last second offer from some mid school on the West Coast, then transfer a few years later to an eternal dumpster fire DI team with an autistic head coach who somehow will win a Natty with Welchel as the first Heisman winning LB, with the media there the whole time to fan the flames that Miami looked past him?

Asking for a friend.

You like him like you liked Robert Knowles or a different kind of like?

Looking back, my biggest mistake with Knowles was ignoring the verified testing.

His film looked great against bad competition, but his explosive numbers (40, jumps) were terrible. He lacked the twitch to perform at the high levels. To his credit, he worked himself into a decent contributor in 2019.
 
Duasso mentioned him on the pod a couple weeks ago. Basically said he was spearheading their defense and wasn't getting enough love from major programs. I know it's his job to pump his players, but it was some pretty high praise for a kid from a guy who has seen a LOT of the best come through his program.

Appreciate the info. He looks like a recruit Heatherman would offer. I assume with his GPA, he fits the culture and he plays like he loves football. We shall see. I will try and keep up on him even if we don't offer him or take him.
 
Needs to add a lot of good weight but it’s always good to have some potential hidden gems in a class let’s get him.
