5 star DT Taylor is 290 pounds now his coach said.

[CarolCityHigh]

The 6-4 lineman has jumped from about 255 pounds to 290 in the last year, Manasco said, and he hasn’t lost his explosive first step or overall fluidity and flexibility."

[Go Canes!!]

It definitely moved.

 

[The Sphinx]

Lord have mercy. If that kid can move at 300 the way he moved at 255... And he hasn't even gotten strong, yet.

That's like fusing Gerald Willis and Nesta into one DT. Kid has elite written all over him.

 

[Dwinstitles]

I have to see the film at that weight to believe he hasn't lost a step. Can't wait for that senior tape....that Mason Smith kid has that first round first step.

 

[NZ Cane]

It definitely moved.

Moved! Im punishing my zipper over here...

If hes added good weight and has indeed kept that explosivness, good gawd...

 

[CanefaninBuckeyeland]

Was i the only one who wanted to go punch something when Manasco's name was mentioned?

 

[jdmorgan76]

**** yes...

 

[Goulds Cane]

I've watched him 2 weeks in a row. I had no clue he was 290 because he is FAST AS **** & looks slim. Apparently he just carries 290 pounds extremely well. I honestly thought he was a little lighter than 255 because he is a blur off the line

Good to hear. How does collins look?

OR fusing Greg Rousseau And Warren Sapp. How about Reggie White and Jerome Brown?

I really can't wait to get Taylor enrolled and into the S&C program. Barring injury, Leonard Taylor is the type of kid who could come right in and start at any position on the DL. Yes he is that good. Now put him together with guys like Elijah Roberts and Chanz Williams and kids already playing like Cam Williams, Jafari Harvey, Silvera, Miller, Harrison-Hunte, Quinten Williams, Jason Blisset, Jalar Holley plus the other DL is the 2021 class like Alan Haye, Savion Collins, Jabari Ishmael and Thomas Davis. We may very well be losing both of our 1st string DEs Jalen Phillips and Quincy Roche in addition to DT Jon Ford but just look at that list of every DL we will have for next year. That's excellent talent and depth.

 

[BoxingRobes]

Kid is a monster.

Haven't had a Leonard Taylor type in a long time. Better prospect than TOP COP Marcus Forston.

 

[Coach Macho]

Welcome to the world of 5-star DT's fellas.
Leonard Taylor is not one of these lower ranked "developmental" guys with cankles who can't move at 300lbs.

Whats the word on Tarber, brother?

We’re pretty lucky. Our DT room will probably the most athletic position group on the team relative to their peers.

JHH
Taylor
Q Williams
Roberts
Holley
Blisset (if he’s still a DT)

All seem to be + athletes.

We’re a long ways away from the Golden DTs.

Kid reminds me of Jerome Brown, who IMO, was the best Tackle in Miami History. I also remember when Brown was with the Eagles and the HOF DE just dominated every opposing team on their side of the ball. This kid has the speed, strength, agility, and moves of Jerome Brown.

 

[Coach Macho]

Whats the word on Tarber, brother?

I know he likes Miami but I haven't spoken to him about recruiting in a minute. I'll pick his brain today for ya.

 

[Billy D Williams]

Would be nice to get an update on Collins performances.

 

[Nick_conlan]

Would be nice to get an update on Collins performances.

If I remember correctly he’s been playing OG

 

[HurricaneHauk]

Manny had done an amazing job on the defensive line, safety

Confusing on what’s going on at LB/CB in terms of top guys

 

[Paranos]

He talks about not only his strength gains and weight gains but also how Collins is a beast in the weight room ( considering he is supposedly not a work out warrior)
