He was dead set on going to OH St, we had no shot with Manny & Jess Simpson.

I don't remember seeing any reports of Mario contacting him. Was the damage irreversible at that point?

Sigh, I remember you saying a couple years back that we'd look back at Stroud closing on the elite 22 DE class and be very happy. If Mario didn't intervene, Manny would've done the impossible and gone 0 for 4 on the elite options.

Manny and Simpson.Simpson might be a good coach but he's an awful recruiter.

So you just going to leave off the Broward County Defensive Player Of The Year because he's not a big-time P5 prospect?

**** dawg, you hurt my feelings. No loyalty around this *****. 😔

@Coach Macho your young man looks great! Any schools have an interest in his play or is he leaning one way?

Yeah definitely, portal and covid. We're used to having a revolving door of scouts coming by practice. We barely saw anybody this season.

Funny thing about Willoughby...
I was told he "wasn't that good". 🤷🏻‍♂️
18.5 sacks later...

Funny things happens when you know how to use a kid's specific skill set, move him around a little, etc.
Plus the kid worked his *** off and bought into the scheme.

Sorry Coach didn’t see this u til after my question. Good luck to them at Morgan St.

Edge rusher is quickly becoming the most impactful position in South Florida. Joey Bosa, Nick Bosa and Brian Burns all rank in the Top 15 of the NFL in sacks. Greg Rousseau was a Day 1 starter. Nik Bonitto will be a first or second round pick, and Dallas Turner is the future of Bama’s pass rush.

This year is the best ever for local EDGEs. Four elite prospects and six more FBS players. I would be surprised if one or more of these guys don’t develop into first rounders.

Shemar Stewart, 6’5, 270 (Pace)- Massive human who looks like a college senior. His acceleration should be illegal at his size. High-end speed. Somewhat stiff, excels most in a straight line as opposed to bending or changing directions. Competition is weak but he dominates. Similar body type to Allen Bailey and may project best as three-technique.




Marvin Jones Jr., 6’4.5, 245 (American Heritage)- Special athlete who is continuing to grow into his body. Son of Top 5 pick dad and track star mom. Started his career as a WR and maintains those movement skills. Easily bends and changes direction with closing speed. Still slight and may be better suited early on for a Nik Bonnito role where he stands up. Played some TE as a senior. Georgia signee.




Kenyatta Jackson, 6’5, 238 (Chaminade)- Prototypical edge rusher with NFL traits. I thought he was more tools than game early in his career, but he’s as good as anyone now. Gatorade Player of the Year with 14 sacks. Lined up in two-point stance in HS but has the size and play strength to put his hand on the ground. Wins with speed rush outside and lightning-quick inside move. Very good retracing to the QB due to quickness and length. Grandfather and uncles played in NFL. Ohio State signee.




Nyjalik Kelly, 6’4, 240 (Dillard)- Another edge with an NFL profile. Complete rusher who wins with get-off, length, quickness, hand use and bend. Had 25 sacks the past two years and dominated the camp circuit. Won’t turn 18 until midway through his freshman season. Narrow upper-body with long arms and big legs. Ran track early in his career. Advanced against the run. Miami signee.




R Mason Thomas, 6’2, 221 (Cardinal Gibbons)- Late bloomer with big-time tools. One of the fastest players on the Gibbons team. Played RB early in his career. Closes distance in a flash. Runs everything down horizontally. As a pure edge rusher, he is raw and has some tightness. Might fit best as 3-4 OLB in college. Unsigned.




Richard Thomas, 6’2, 250 (American Heritage)- Stout rusher who flies upfield. Similar build to FSU’s Keir Thomas. Can line up inside at times. Strong with good acceleration. Better going straight ahead than changing directions, some hip tightness. Indiana signee

Jamaal Johnson, 6’1.5, 250 (Chaminade)- Doesn’t look like your prototypical edge but is an outstanding football player. Laterally quick with excellent ball awareness. Sets a strong edge despite lack of length. May grow into DT but is athletic enough to stay outside. Even has the ability to run with backs downfield on wheels. UCF signee.

Francois Nolton, 6’4, 240 (Edison)- Lanky, hand-in-the ground EDGE with outstanding production. His early career hype died down to the point where he might be underrated. Started to fill out frame as a senior. Lined up inside and outside and won consistently with basic pass rush plan. Average explosiveness but moves well enough given size. Reminds me of James Head, who started for Indiana via Miami Southridge. Unsigned.

https://www.hudl.com/video/3/11293455/61a992d94206380bf4b5518f

Claudel Bazile, 6’2, 220 (Miramar)- Undersized but explosive pass rusher who gets upfield. Grown-man strength. Plays with passion. Fluid and flexible mover, might fit best as 3-4 LB. Liberty signee.

https://www.hudl.com/video/3/13138509/6158c6bea018f9099c2a708d

Dante Anderson, 6’3, 210 (Homestead)- Narrow, undersized rusher who projects more as a 3-4 backer. Good closing speed and lateral quicks. Upright as a rusher and tackler. Was unfairly placed with guys like Stewart and MJJ early in his career. Reminds me of former Cane Ricardo Williams. Committed to FSU, unclear if he will be PWO or scholarship athlete.

I’m surprised nobody has picked up Nolton. The Portal is hurting legit kids who get dropped after a coaching change.

I really liked Stewart at the 3T in the UA game. He didn't do much when they had him at DE.

Agreed. His best impact came as a 3T. His nice tackle for loss comes to mind. The only improvements I noticed is that he's going to need to get bigger to play 3T. I think he's 6-5, 275 right now. I need him over 300 at that height. Also, He relies on a bull rush and his strength to win, he's going to need to develop more pass rush skills.

All of these will be easy for a player like Shemar to attain.

If Miami does go with a multi-front scheme, Shemar is a 3T in the 4-3 and an SDE in the 3-4. He should excel at both spots and likely doesn't need to be 300# for the SDE.

Great stuff @DMoney

Seriously can you honestly look at that film of Shemar Stewart and actually believe that he is going to be a DE here? Stewart is an absolute stud and a beast and every bit the 5 star rating but that tape screams 3 tech DT. Could he be a Strong side DE? Sure but 3 tech is where he is going to make a living! Get him in the S&C program then put him right next to Leonard Taylor and flank both of them with Kelly and Moss. Then watch opposing OC's soil themselves.
