Maybe the biggest unicorn in the class that doesn't get talked about enough. Long HS LB who is all over the place.

Visited for the Ohio St game last Sept.

Puts up crazy stats vs good, big school comp in NorCal. Avg'd a 157 tkl's his Soph & Jr seasons. Had 15 TFL's as a JR and 3 Int's. Has avg'd 40 return yards per Int in HS (5 total), 2 being P6's.

Also plays TE where he had 23 rec ... 366 yds ... 7 TD's & 3 Wildcat TD's.

Here's a recent freebie from Ryan Roberts:

He has a great size/athleticism potential, coupled with outstanding production. He's probably my 2nd on my favorite linebacker prospect in this class, after NOB. Both are elite, imo, with Faraimo, Sacca, CJones and Mikhail.

It’s St. Paddy’s not St Patty’s. He gone.

Don't think it matters much. A guy from Ireland posted something like this on 247... There is no St Patty's Day. When referring to St Patrick's Day, you say St Paddy's.

If a guy from Dublin can't make up his mind, we're safe here on that front at least.

Definite Money prospect early. Have to assume he moves to Vyper pretty quick.

Michigan thought he was theirs until recently

Michigan has thought a lot of players were theirs recently.

Is the mouth finger thing (in the edit pic) some kind of dipping chaw reference

At A&M, that's reserved for the cheerleaders.

No italics.

We seem very all in on our Edge Rushers being converted linebackers dropping down

 

[pumpdog20]

Both SCUM miss out on a good recruit... glorious

I still don't understand why be was dropped unless the staff learned a reason he wouldn't be a fit....
Seemed like an ideal vyper candidate.

The viewed him more as a MIKE prospect. And Sacca took his spot.

I agree that he likely would have been a perfect long-term vyper. That was a strange evaluation and choice to move along from Jones after Sacca committed.

While all very valid points to the casual observer, its so hard to question anything AG is doing with the defense or personnel at this point. He’s got them d boys rolling, and the talent is pouring in.

Exactly. I’m not sure the defense was capable of playing much better. I think Golden was able to get the D to reach their peak. No great pass rushers was the only thing holding them back.

The only service that ever really talked to him was IB. I wonder how much interest there really was on both sides
