A 10.54 in the 8th grade? Wut? Lol, that has to be a mistake.

 

[CANEMC]

You can see his speed on kickoffs. His team didn’t play this season due to Covid so that was a setback.

My bad, as a freshman. He ran 11.2 & 22.7 in 8th grade.

Still pretty **** special. He must have moved from somewhere to NE. They don’t make them like that up there lol. Probably end up at OU or some sh*t.

GIVE ME ALL THE LBS!!!

What’s that comp like?
No question he’s fast. But he looks 6’4 compared to some of those dudes

If this is the case, isn't in two years when he will be visiting?

That's still very impressive and a huge one year jump. We haven't had that kind of speed at LB in 30 years. That's Jessie Armstead/Darrin Smith level.

 

[DTP]

Nebraska isn’t exactly known for great high school competition but ****, that kid flies. Worst case scenario, we have a linebacker who returns kickoffs.

 

[Billy D Williams]

Give me speed and desire. This kid shows hustle and a willingness to tackle.

Trivia: Anyone remember the last LB we landed from the area? No Google.

A lot of times they relocate here with the military (Offutt Air Force Base) but those kids usually attend the Bellevue schools.

Four-star Nebraska LB Devon Jackson very intrigued by ASU - ASUDevils

arizonastate.rivals.com

It's an Arizona State article, but bottom line he said he can't stand the cold. His dad played football at Illinois & said he would play in a warm weather state if given the chance.

Likes UM, Auburn, Arizona State & Oklahoma. The guy recruiting him to UM just left for UCF though.

At this point he is more athlete than football player. In 2019, his first year on varsity, he only put up 26 tackles, 2 sacks & 5 tackles for losses.

LB who can't stand the cold doesn't really scream "tough enough" to me.
Don't get me wrong, I don't like that cold **** either. But then again, I'm not trying to make a living violently colliding with grown men.
