looks like he's listed at 6'4" and 215 pounds. Is that right - 215 for a DE?

from his frame, he looks like he should be able to add some bulk. but probably a prospect. the question is - in today's world of NIL and the portal, can you wait 2+ years for a player to contribute - and can you keep him on the roster?

Our two starting DEs weighed only a little more and both waited until year three to play much. We still need to develop players, we aren’t going to sign ready to play high schoolers that often.

Carter Coughlin weighed less at the same age. He turned out ok.

Fleck seems to be doing a solid job keeping guys around and football is not undergoing the same insanity that basketball is.

There is still a place for freshman in college football to come in and develop.

Football also has rosters large enough to stash them.
 



They must like his potential a lot to accept the verbal with all the other dlinemen visits they have scheduled.
 

He looks to be pretty athletic and has the frame to add some good weight. Apparently a decent basketball player too.

Keeping as many instate players will help. These kids most likely will stay put.
 


What is odd is the several other players who play the same position are lined up to make an official visit and they are rated higher.

If you watched it ever since Howard signed the targets have changed. We had 4-5 legit 4* edge/DL with visits set up.. I think that's down to one.. the kid from Cali....

I wonder if that’s his weight entering his jr yr of high school?

He very well could weigh 230 by the start of college. Not starting De weight but not too far away.

Dallas Turner and Chop Robinson were both about 6’3” and 220-230lbs going into their senior years.

No clue if this guy has similar athletic ability but he’s definitely on a reasonable path in terms of size/weight.
