IMO this kid is going to be very good or a complete bust. I see very little middle-ground here. And I'm not saying this as a negative at all, VERY high upside, I'm totally fine with taking a few kids like this in every class. Trust your eyes and your evals. But IMO we either just got a high-level starter or a kid who will struggle to carry water. It's going to be very fun to follow this kid's development over the next few years. He has a lot of attributes you simply cannot teach.

Agree 100%. And I think given the additional infrastructure we have in place now with coaching, weight room, nutrition etc this skews things slightly more to the side of him being very good. Or I hope at least

Ahh this would make sense, I was reading his profile a while ago and it said "he took up football his senior year"....I was thinking, wait, if he's a 2023 kid, isn't he coming up on his senior year this fall?

Now it makes sense. WTF is a prep year, though? He graduated HS and he's just still hanging out at school for another year? Prep for what? Isn't that what 4 years of HS is supposed to do?

Basically a year between your Freshman season that doesn’t count against your eligibility. As others have said it gives you time to improve grades or your athletic opportunities. Most teams are made up of Prep students with some HS seniors. Aside from playing against other prep schools, some of them play against the JV’s of the Ivys and service academies.

What a nice surprise! Hockey, Lacrosse, Military school background. New to football but played both sides of the ball. This kid has an enormous ceiling with various paths to success. You could tell me he will never play meaningful snaps here or you could tell me he would be an all american TE, DE, or OT and I would believe it lol.

Great take and will be fun to revisit in 1-2 years.
