Jabari Ishmael adding size

[OrangeBowlMagic]

Mama Ish just tweeted this. Was 215 on signing day a little over a year ago. He’s up to 253 now. This was always the plan with this kid. Don’t sleep on him. He’s got a lot of athleticism. Just needed the weight. It’s looking like he’s heading nicely in that direction. We all know there is a huge opening right now for burn on the edge. I think this kid can kick the door down. I believe Mario was on him heavy coming out of HS, will be interesting if they got that eval right now that they have their hands on him.

Glad to see our kids are starting to grow into men!

Can someone please get that kid some deer antler spray?

Yes, Oregon supposedly finished second for him. It would be great to get something from him in year 2 as he is probably our biggest true DE on the roster. Lord knows we will need it. I never saw him as a dynamite rusher but if he could just consistently set an edge and be above average in the run game, I’ll take it.

Kid was an enigma to me as a prospect. Really mediocre tape, subpar production, but he has those ideal measurables and seemingly had a good motor. He's a good project for our new coach Wright to see what he can get out of him.

Big transformation for Ismael. As others have stated, it’s open season at the DE spot. Between Harvey, Williams, Roberts, and now Ismael here’s hoping two of them decide the time is now to step up. ****, if all 4 can play and do well that could be a decent rotation at DE.

Anybody know the injury keeping him out?

**** and a belly is not the way to put on 40lbs.

Has he been hurt?

His Dad is a large man. I had no doubt he would fill out as he matures and gets older.

Renee Ishmael looking thirsty.

Definitely not good weight

 

[grover]

Jury out. Photo doesn’t look like it was all good weight added, and no production to feel like he can put it all together. Hope he’s a Walford type that bursts onto the scene but he’s not anyone we can rely on.

 

[canesupremacy]

I was wondering if someone was going to say the obvious that he added a lot of extra weight

 

[siulrc]

It looks like he needs another 100 lbs !

@Paranos would disagree.

Amirite?? Huh...huh!!!???

That’s the Al golden bulking diet…

Most the players posters have talked up since the new staff took over have actually gotten physically smaller while dropping body fat. Some have gained weight while most have stayed relatively the same weight while dropping fat and gaining some muscle. Jabrari will get cut by Fall. He looks like several others who have been injured and out for Spring. I am counting on a push from him at DE come Fall. Cave for instance was already 225 so I wasn't shocked he gained 8 lbs to get to 233. Obviously people didn't know he was already as heavy as he was as posters seemed shocked by his gain. He was already one of our biggest LB's at 225. We are now recruiting 220 lbs LB's in HS thank goodness. When people were talking Huff up, he looked great. He had gained some muscle, cut body fat and still didn't look 215. I don't know Huff's weight now, he still looks small while looking much better.

Glad he said it
