247 has him at #13 natioanlly for DT's. One spot behind Jerron Cage, one spot ahead of Darnell Ewell.

Played on the #13 ranked team in Oklahoma. Competes in the highest class in suburban OKC.

Claims a mid 4.6 / 40. No, really.

Has a very very impressive film. Sudden and violent. Sheds offensive lineman like they're children. This is what I imagine Sheldon Day looking like in Indy way back in the day.

All aboard the D-Train!

His Sr. film has really stuck with me today. He might be sneaking into my Man Crush section.

Also, seems to me Elko and Lea understand the importance of timing and taking advantage of openings because of fluid situations. Cal guy with an unknown coach, Oregon guy getting 3-4 four stars signed above him, Nebraska guy with a fired DC.

I don't think it's a coincidence and I LLLLLLLLLike it.

He has a super quick get off. Uses his hand very well Looks like your prototypical 3 technique. I do like the Sheldon Day comparison. Saying all that there is no way he is 6'3". I'll give him 6'1".

We say BOOM like we didn't just lose half our staff lol.

I said boom in we offered... They then fired the DC who he is currently committed to and had planned on being coached by so not sure what us getting new staff has to do with anything when he didn't have a relationship with anyone on our staff until now

Mark Banker and Mike Riley had been working together for about 18 years. Goodness.

When it comes to job security and a nice paycheck, friendships usually don't get in the way.

This kids face reminds me of Theo Riddick with an extra 100 pounds tacked on.

I was actually shocked that he was able to bring Banker with him from Oregon State. From some of the connected alums that I've talked to, they believe a big reason why OSU wanted Riley out was because he was unwilling to fire Banker. Riley wouldn't do so, and OSU assumed that meant, he was fine with mediocrity and pushed him out.

Banker's defenses have been pretty atrocious for awhile now. He shouldn't have had a job the last few years he was at Oregon State.

Adding this kid and Harris would be solid.

It would give a nice balance to last years class as well. Okwara and Hayes, more than likely give Harris some time to develop., which he needs. While Ewell and Thomas will have space to step in and get some mintues, as I think both will probably be ready to do so.

Just watched film. Definitely want this kid. Very quick off the line, very violent hands. Above average speed for his size especially in pursuit. Pretty athletic. Comes off the edge really well as a big end. I'm not totally sold on the other DT's ND's offered lately. They're good but this kid is quite a bit above them IMO.

I officially hate recruiting, I hate academics, I hate foreign languages, I hate everything that didn't bring Deontre to South Bend.

But at least Deontre gonegit paid!

Who remembers Deontre?

He had a great film that we were all pretty much in agreement on. We thought the Irish were gonna make a run but an offer never went out but that shouldn't be surprising, they only handed out SIX offers to DT's that cycle and as we all remember, landed none.

Appeared in 9 G and registered 14 tackles. Listed as the 2nd string NT behind Sr. Mick Stoltenberg.
