coached him....one of the most stickiest corners regardless of size.

had a 3 int game as a freshman in high school n would go toe to toe with damian alford every day in practice as a freshman and alford was about 6'5 then.

Maybe following his coaches....but DLO is a dawg

Potential Portal DB’s (CB’s & S’s only)

pops is cool with randy shannon more so than even surtain. Randy beat us out for davonte the first time at ucf. If they doing that i would be tampering back with Edwin Joseph and Conrad Hussey. Edwin now has like 3 close friends on our roster as well as Conrad. The Brown family must get...

I had Ponds as a sleeper coming out. Size was really the only issue:

Look to the Transfer Portal: Discussion thread

In order of likelihood: 1. Samson 2. McCoy 3. Damari 4. A Washington Brother (cheating…I know) 5. Horton Samson will be our starting RT next year , Maui will be at LG

@Udynasty and @Cribby weigh in

Ponds and Hill is an "A" CB transfer portal class.


Ponds can play the Nickel and Hill the boundary,

Porter Jr is your third starter and all of a sudden this room is a strength!

Potential Portal DB’s (CB’s & S’s only)

There's enough proven talent in the Portal to revamp our entire Secondary... Ponds is a nickel CB, right? If we get him, do you think we have enough talent at the boundaries to say we’re done at CB?

I’d be thrilled with Ponds in the slot. He can also play outside so he gives you options. Porter , Brown and Ponds is a nice group.

Original @DMoney writeup

I’m putting together the annual South Florida position lists, but rather than just list guys, I wanted to highlight a few three-star and unranked kids that I personally believe can develop into players.
...
D’Angelo Ponds, CB, 5’10, 150 (Chaminade)- Small but smooth slot corner with speed. Quick to diagnose plays. 10.65 100M and 21.54 200M. More of a pure cover guy than a two-way player or big hitter. Really good at reading screens. Needs to develop more strength. Special teams value as gunner. Unranked with Akron and FAU offers only.

Surprising speed

 

[Yoyo82]

We have to be the favorites to land this kid right?

Pounds reminds me of another Chaminade Madonna National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence under-sized and under-recruited Speed Demon who blew up - Hollywood Brown.

Am I going to be that fan? He's 160 lbs. Can he, um, tackle?
