A half inch shorter than Trumbetti was listed on the '15 Roster.

34 pounds lighter with more than a year to go before he reports.

When he's my age, he'll be telling everyone he is lighter than he is. It all evens out in the end. :)

Seems like a kid that got the offer because they're really hoping he can grow into DE, big brother aside. I wonder if he gets this offer if the staff doesn't whiff on so many higher targets at the position.

We still have a shot at some pretty highly rated players.

Irish Keep It In The Family With New LB/DE Commit - One Foot Down

Last year, Jamir's team needed him to play out of position at quarterback, which both limited his development defensively and forced him to keep his weight down. He won't have that problem this year - he'll be able to focus full time on defense, and it'll be interesting to see how that helps his development. Is he rated lowly because he's that raw a prospect, or because he was playing out of position in upstate New York?

Despite the three star rating, there's a lot to like about Jones's highlight tape. He's listed as an outside linebacker, but nearly everything on the tape is either playing quarterback or rushing the quarterback. He shows very good closing speed behind the line and wraps up very well; you don't see any lead-with-the-shoulder knockout shot attempts, just sound stopping technique. He fights through traffic at the point of attack pretty well and is single-minded on the ball carrier. On either side of the ball, he likes contact - love to see that tough mentality.

He shows the typical areas for improvement that most young players do. He definitely plays a little high at times and relies on superior athletic ability to get into the backfield, which of course won't work at the next level. I think he also needs to learn how to use his hands to maintain distance from offensive linemen; there were a couple of plays where it looked like he got into the lineman's body pretty quickly, which is a recipe for being taken out of the play in college.

Grades? Attitude? Just simply not a fit?

Congrats Kid.

Hard work and you just never know.
