Good looking prospect from my old stomping grounds in South Orange Co.

Nice film, really liked what I saw from him in the gam vs. Pinnacle AZ this season. I was like, I'd take him and Tosh Baker RIGHT NOW over maybe Pyne and Carmody.

Plays against the best in the Trinity League.

A lot of Twitter action today from the ND analysts playing catch up.

I think a RT, where is plays now, or gaurd is where he is best suited. Love his footwork. He pulls really well and has speed in space when he pulls. Has a good motor. Like all linemen in HS he needs to increase strength in his legs but that's to be expected.

Two thoughts

1. Persi is a hellavu athlete. Great feet and extremely quick

2. That is really high level HS football being played in that film

 

[FDNYIrish1]

This kid moves incredibly well for a 6'7" athlete. This is what I really don't understand about rankings when watching his film. Theres a whole lot of ability here. He gets stronger and uses his length he's going to be a nice player at the next level.

 

[BobbyMac]

I've fallen off the Persi bandwagon. He admitted his family were longtime Trojan season ticket holders and didn't mention ND in the attached freebie story even though he's planning on visiting Northwestern.

Sounds like ND cooled on him because he was retweeting every ND edit they sent him.

committed to SCUM, they love them some 3 stars

 

[BobbyMac]

He'd have been a great additional OT for ND and I bet ND would have been the favorite had they needed a #3 OT. If Carmody didn't exist, he may have been next up(???)

Wonder if his buddy Monheim follows?

Why wouldn't they love them some 3 stars? They are the placeholder until they can get a higher rated commit and then boot the 3 star out the door.
