Visiting this weekend for Jr Day

Really like his film. Plays for a perenial Top 10 Louisiana program that goes up against a top, New Orleans metro schedule.

Lance Taylor got him to visit with no offer and limited time being in contact with him.

Definitely on Offer Watch

Sam Spiegelman, a Louisiana Rivals analyst, put in a "futurecast" pick for us. Whatever that is.

Won't be the last CB or FC thrown at him

And he's gonna blow up now that the rock's all his.

 

[PANDFAN]

first time watching.....man he certainly gets going north and south very quickly and decisively...power/speed and those feet keep churning

 

[arrowryan]

Love his tape. Reminds me of Jonas Gray.

 

[Luckylucci]

Love his tape. Reminds me of Jonas Gray.

That’s a solid comp.

 

[Crazy Balki]

This kid won't stay a 3-star for long. Great size and excellent burst out of the backfield. A textbook north-south runner.

We need a back like him to pair with someone like Tyree, McClain or Robinson.

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

really like his tape.

The Jonas Gray comp above is perfect. Kid is very fast and big. Guarantee he finishes in the top 30 RBs

 

[koonja]

I dont love his film much as some of you. I think hell be solid. Adrian Foster is the comparison I see.

He'll be solid, but you compare him to an all-pro RB?

 

[BabyIrish]

I'm never impressed with RB highlights where they just outrun opponents because they are the greatest athlete on the field. I'm impressed when the RB shows quick cuts, great vision, decisive decision making and looks to follow his blocks and find the holes within the blocking scheme. Kyle Edwards does this 95% of the time. I'd be very pleased to have him in this class.

 

[Some Irish Bloke]

He'll be solid, but you compare him to an all-pro RB?

Right? That's like saying someone is undersized and I don't see a high ceiling....reminds me of Barry Sanders.

to be fair, he compared him to Adrian Foster (born 19 March 1971 in Kidderminster) who is an English footballer and manager. He played several seasons in the Football League during the 1990s before dropping down into non-league football and not Arian Foster the former NFL running back

 

[ab2cmiller]

LOL

Ahhh that makes more sense. Koon's film breakdown is deep and extensive. I don't know how he has the time to ball out at work and in the film breakdown game. Truly a gift to us all.

Right on queue! lol

I'm like you Koonja....I see him as a 2-3 star... reminding me of a Eric Dickerson type back

 

[arrowryan]

In Koon's defense, Arian Foster only had one good college season. He may have been injured, but idk. He went undrafted before having a good NFL career.

So, Arian Foster wasn't always a bonafide stud.

But I'm sure Koon wasn't thinking of Adrian Foster in that context. He was thinking Houston Texan Foster. So keep em coming guys

 

[Big23Head]

FWIW, LSU 247 guys think he will be bumped pretty good. Lots of buzz about him being very good. Commented that he is as good or better than a 94 rated player.

The whole take 1 RB/Cullen Coleman situation will be interesting to watch.

He doesn't appear to be an elite athlete but he does look like a solid running back. I'm not advocating either way but after seeing Ray Grahm go to the races against us then running a 4.8 at the combine there's nothing to say Edwards won't have a good college career.

 

[dublinirish]

committed to Bama

Guy is probably a 4-4.5 star recruit if he’s a starting RB but he was behind John Emery until this coming season. He’s really really good.
