[IrishLax]

Has interest in Notre Dame, who may become a player. Seems on the surface like a lesser Niklas (from a physical standpoint)... could play anything from DE to QB to OLB to TE depending on scheme. Really blowing up this month and adding a lot of big time offers.

 

[IrishLion]

Looks like if Bubba Starling, Troy Niklas and Derek Roback had a baby, both physically and in terms of range-of-skills.

 

[beryirish]

my first thought was of Trumbetti when i saw the pic

 

[Sherm Sticky]

I love him at LB. Yes please

Three guys and no female...Welcome to the 21st century

Good call, that's a scary resemblance from the picture above.

 

[anarin]

I shall call him big jim

 

[GoldenToTheGrave]

Am I the only one to see J.J Watt?

 

[koonja]

Looks like he already has access to unlimited meals and snacks.

 

[dublinirish]

as long as stanford ain't get him!

 

[ResLife Hero]

He seemed to do everything well in the tape. I'd love to see him come in and play in the front 7 on D.

I'm gonna take this opportunity to say that every time I see your handle on IE, I sing it to the tune of "Jukebox Hero" in my head.

Haha, unintentional, but I like it. Now I've got that song in my head.

 

[Irishnuke]

Not sure if anyone else sees this but he reminds me a lot of Wes Welker.

I was thinking Ed McCaffery… but I believe you hit the nail on the head here.

They are very similar players. The JJ Watt comparison isn't bad either.

 

[Irishokie]

THAT'S a junior in HS?! Hire his S&C coach!

 

[Kaneyoufeelit]

It looks like he is tackling 8 year old kids. Violent

Strong name, too

 

[Old Man Mike]

... 21st century DE.

Gym rat

 

[peoriairish]

If he's truly 6'5" in that picture, i'll eat my hat if he's under 245. Dude is thick.

 

[IrishLion]

Blue collar.

DE or MLB

 

[irishknight35]

Did anyone else notice this crazed individual playing with a cast on both arms in parts of his highlights? A very versatile prospect to keep an eye.

I'm assuming italics?

 

[Bogtrotter07]

Kid is a high school football terrorist.

I thought he ran the ball like Ron Powlus (number 11 is easy.)

And he kind of reminds me of Danny Spond.

I want him. I want him bad.

 

[NDBoiler]

Blue collar.

He has a high motor.

 

[GBdomer]

A 6'5 middle LB? Seriously guys?

DE
