Must have been a tough recruiting battle vs. Kent State, according to 247.

6’1”, 235, that’s a big RB. I wonder if he stays at RB.

 

[mkAz]

He’s got an offensive and defensive video on HUDL. He looks like a man amongst boys in both.

 

[Tech Machine]

247 has him not rated with the competition being Kent State, then again, good size for a RB.

I’ve been more excited for a dentist appointment.

When is signing day for 2026 again?

Must have been a tough recruiting battle vs. Kent State, according to 247.

Here we had a thread where we were wondering if we missed on the Nebraska running back who basically had no offers. Now, we have someone complaining that we've offered someone with few offers.

Looks like the plan is to play him at linebacker. We could use some of those.

I mean we need athletes, and this kid looks like a good one. Welcome Mr. Castillo. We need linebackers.

 

[Gophergrandpa]

I wouldn't mind having at least one big RB. Can come in handy in a lot of games.

In the current college football landscape, how many HS recruits actually need to hit for a team to be successful?

Additionally, the team needs to get as close to 105 players as possible each year which means there will be lower end kids recruited just due to economics of those last spots on the team.

If he doesn’t work out, he will be gone in a year… if he does work out they get a great return on initial investment. HS recruiting is not the same as it was in the past.
