Found this on him.
Like all walkons, he is a longshot to ever make it into the 2-deep, and he does look to be
smallish for a LB.
But, wow, what a kid.
He may the type of kid you can never count out of anything.
Best of luck to him!

I think he actually has a very good shot at playing FB here. Has OK speed and is already coming in 220 straight out of high school state champ wrestler as well. He will grow with good S&C, very sharp kid. I agree with you he is the type that wouldn't surprise me to see him starting for us one day.

He may have a decent show at FB.
That is a position that a kid who is tough and smart can earn playing time.

Well rounded player who will just have to find his spot. Gamer for sure and I actually loved seeing how he was patient and moved through traffic well on defense. I'd attribute some of that to wrestling as that's one sport that teaches you to watch for movement and to be patient until you're ready to get after it.

Also has good balance because he doesn't go down easy. I really like prospects who also wrestle, especially guys who will be blocking. Wrestling is all form, and good use of hand and foot work.
 
Yup, balance, stamina, and good conservation of energy due to technique. It's too bad most states don't allow the jumbo sized players (OL and DL) wrestle because they are typically over the weight limit.

I agree and those are who would benefit most.

This kid will play, fullback would be perfect, seems tough and strong, good luck to him!
 
No one loves up a walk-on more than CIS. We have at least one of these threads every year and then never hear another peep out of the guy.
