Per Panda in the 2018 Master thread and 247's timeline...

Working out for ND staff today and expecting an offer. Followed some ND reporters this morning.

Ran for 1300 yds and 18 TD's in 10G his freshman year.
Ran for 700 yds and 8 TD's in 6G last year
Avg 10 ypc for his career.

Got a 108 Sparq at the Opening Regional. Ran a 4.48 / 40... a 4.07 shuttle and a 34" Vert.

Most interesting bit of info: 5 out of 6 of his CB's are to OSU. The #1 APB in the class is Jaelen Gill who obviously is considered a near lock for the Buckeyes as he lives just 20 minutes from campus. OSU's on a roll but I'll bet it all they can't land them both.

Here's his Freshman film. Pretty impressive.

Committed to PSU -- they are putting together a monster class in 2018.

It's early.

Let's see how many of them stick once the blue bloods come knocking.

After the obvious names, PSU is a tier-two blueblood. Doubt many of them will flip barring disaster seasons.

We'll see. Franklin's whole game is getting kids on campus early and pressuring them into committing

Monster? How about we call it just... really good?

Monster would be if they had the #1 QB and the #1 LB in the state in the class.

And we all know dat sh!t ain't happening! Bwahahahahaa!

This guy is in the transfer portal, why are we not all up in it?

Probably because we already have 24 RBs on the roster. Not including Avery Davis.

Guess we preferred Speights' 3.9 ypc to Slade's 5.1 🙄

Maybe we didn’t offer for the same reason we didn’t offer the first time around. Somehow not a fit for ND, I would guess.

he's been in the portal since early Feb with no bites, obviously he has red flags on him somewhere.
