Jaiden Bryant vs DJ Jacobs

Just curious why both kids felt compelled to commit elsewhere if they have a legitimate interest in UM. Is this a ruse to get more $$$ from LSU and OSU? Mario chases these kids all the way, which results in last-minute flips.

Being coached by a HOF who played the position and was named NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 2006, with 62.5 tackles, 13.5 sacks, 10 forced fumbles, and 2 interceptions returned for TDs. Also, he prepared Bain and Mesi for the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft. That's the experience, knowledge, and insight that kids need.

Surprised by this. His arm length doesn’t scare you? Hes not a bain with overwhelming power. You think Jacobs is day one ready? I’d assume Bryant would be ready quicker due to size

You are correct on this, Bryant is day one ready right now because of his size and power. People always think about rushing the passer, but always forget about the fact that half the defensive ends job is setting the edge and stopping to run. That was Bain and Mesidors superpower last year..
 
Whoever has the better intangibles.
Whoever is willing to put in extra hours and forget the noise is who I would pick.
I want the guy that wants to destroy his ceiling and not the guy who is content.
The guy who doesn’t dream about the nfl but dreams about a gold jacket.
The 6’5 vs 6’3 thing is meaningless.

Memon knows ball so I’m curious his reasoning. I just feel like Bryant is a day one ready end where he’s affective at setting the edge and rushing the passer. Jacobs might need to gain some weight and strength to be as affective

Jacobs is out right overwhelming OL in his tape with power and speed. Watch it, this kid is the complete package. Somehow people are confusing him as some finesse speed rusher when he is so much more than that.

Not saying he’s isn’t elite because he is. But I’m watching his Jr season hudl tape and he’s going against OL who are as big as Pete. The lack of size and setting the edge concern me for a day 1 contributor

Yet they can’t pass on their dream schools. Like the SFLA kids.
