Probably. Now, I’m not gonna say this is the time when Elvis Dumerville got busy at DE at 5’11, but what I am saying is you get a person at least 6’0 that wants to play, has passion, is aggressive and strong? He’ll always find a way for those kind of people on the FB field and team. Plus an offense player they wants to take it to the defense? Need that.
It’s like Bain if dude had two more inches he’d be considered an all time prospect with all those sacks. I’m in the mind of just give me football players and let them loose
Same country. Even same planet. The comparisons are uncanny.
6'2" worked OK for Jerry Rice. Kid isn't being brought in to be a prototypical blocking TE, he is a talented WR with a multi faceted skill set. He has played every offensive skill position but QB. Has lined up in the slot, outside, RB and is a ball hawk who is quick / fast. Bishop Gorman was ranked #6 nationally at the end of 2022 so he played against some high level competition and had 30 receptions / 756 yards and 11 TD's. UM is looking for taller WR's that can line up outside ... this kid fits what UM is looking for all day long.
Interesting out of all the hall of famers and foot ball players in general you went with Jerry Rice for the comparison in height.
Well ... he was 6'2" and actually according to fan standards ran a very slow 4.71 forty. I don't have "all of the hall of famers" stats in my mind but I am familiar with Jerry Rice.
Junior year he had 10 carries for 102 yards and 7 TD's. Looks like he was used as a red zone threat. Two year total catching balls he had 52 receptions for 1263 yards, 24.3 yards per catch and 19 TD's. He was the MVP in a couple of their big national games. Has performed very well on the big HS stages. Great addition to UM's offensive roster. Expect to see him lighting up the Gators in The Swamp in 2024. "Williams to Lofton".
