Psssst.

Hey Stephon.

I heard Stephen Morris stole your bike seat.

 

[greyhammer90]

holy f*ck

 

[irishff1014]

This is freakin awesome.

 

[Domina Nostra]

Haha! He is a little undersized, though. Remember?

In all seriousness, he will get to the point where he becomes nearly unblockable without a double team.

 

[NYMIKE6]

Everyone should have this! Do It 2 It Shirt

 

[West Coast Domer]

He is going to be something when he hits his physical prime.

 

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

What a freak.

 

[Luckylucci]

Agree, when he is in that 23-28 yrs. old range and barring any significant injuries he will make some nfl team extremely happy.

 

[jimmymac]

beast

 

[yankeeND]

If I'm not mistaken was Tuitt out for this game last year? I guess this is what Stephon meant by needing to put in some work on the farm

McShay on Tuitt, has him as the #5 sophomore and says he'd be a 1st rounder in this draft

5. Stephon Tuitt, DE, Notre Dame
Tuitt carries his weight really well; it looks like he has more room to add some bulk. He's almost J.J. Watt-like in terms of his build. And his big-play production has been outstanding so far this season. Tackles for loss, sacks, fumble recoveries, touchdowns ... he just has a nose for the ball.

From what I've seen on tape, he appears to have a good closing burst, can be a powerful hitter and it looks like he has the potential to play multiple positions along the line, including 5-technique as a 3-4 defensive end and 3-technique as a 4-3 defensive tackle. That versatility is probably going to add to his value before it's all said and done.

He's going to have to get stronger in the lower body and be more consistent. I saw a couple of plays in the Michigan game where he ended up on the ground. But again, like Johnson, he's just young. This is why players have years to develop. Both Tuitt and Johnson would be risks as first-round picks right now, but the potential is there. They really stand out as players who, if the arrow keeps heading north, could be top-15-caliber players by the time they're eligible.

Jadeveon Clowney leads list of five sophomores who could be first-round picks right now - NCF - ESPN

 

[BleedBlueGold]

Kid's an animal. He's the real "Beast" of that class.

With that said...all the more reason the staff needs to recruit more true DL. No guarantee that Tuitt sticks around for his senior year. He'll leave some big shoes to be filled.

 

[Ironman8]

2nd team All-American per SI. Manti was 1st team.

Just...wow

 

[Jebediah Springfield]

Have we reached the point where we just expect him to be a beast?

 

[Ironman8]

Have we reached the point where we just expect him to be a beast?

Yep

 

[Jebediah Springfield]

Yep

I take it upon myself to show his thread love everytime he gets a sack then lol

 

[ACamp1900]

I have thought many times this year that Clowney is stealing his thunder in terms of sophomore DLmen... Clowney is once a generation, but Tuitt is best in the country under normal circumstances
