I want to know what’s holding this kid up from being a 5 star because the athleticism is off the charts.
He has been steady moving up the lists and is now a top 100 player. If you watch his film the one thing that sticks out is that while athletically gifted he isn’t all that physical for the position. That’s just an objective observation, doesn’t mean the kid is trash just that it may have something to do with it.

To reiterate this was a massive pick up.
This is very fair, but I’ll add that this was a common criticism of Sonny Styles. He got stronger and barely missed any tackles this year.

Yeah he lacks that “pop”, knock back power, and technique when it comes to tackling. He gets dragged by tacklers a bit and sometimes hits too high. All teachable things. He has EVERYTHING else. And that’s why he’s a top 100 guy. Has all the physical traits of an all American player and looks to have those intangibles you look for.
