Physically ready for what though? His JC profile on Scout shows him at 210, and as an OLB. He's not going to play OLB here at 210, coming in as a Junior.

I'll take the fast JUCO all-american over the slow LBs we have now that fit their height and weight profiles. I hope he commits because it might signify a change in how this defense is run. Perhaps valuing speed and quickness over brute strength a bit more. Our defense isn't very fast. Whether it be the scheme, added weight, or the natural ability of the players, we run like an old school big ten defense.
Yeah, all the geniuses on here blame Dorito and scheme, when, in fact, there's apparently a lot to be said for the 3-4 (check out Jay Gruden's comments about why he's going to be going with the 3-4 with the Redskins) and one of our problems was lack of outstanding athletes in the back seven. There's a reason our top LB did not project to the first or second round--part of it might be height, but he might be very average in speed.
We'd execute the scheme better if we had more speed in the back seven. We didn't have much this year, and that includes the secondary.
