He sounds like a good prospect, but I would also like to see an immediate impact guy at NT.
DT is N
- Thread starter headcard
- Start date
Who gives a darn when there is Kelce vid to watch! If you keep posting this crap you’re getting sent to ignore land.
Seriously, Taylor Swift's tour just ended and people want to talk about football. Excited to see her at Arrowhead again!
I laugh at "Seasons of eligibility." As if these guys are actually going to stay here for 4 years. Right now you can probably hope for 2 at best. A 4 year player will probably be an anomaly.
So….has he played at all the last 3 years? Did he change his name? Not finding any recorded tackles for him during this time, heck a couple OL’s have been credited with a tackle or two.
He red shirted his first year. He was supposedly going to play, maybe even start this year and then had some health issue and didn’t play. So it seems like he has some talent. But this health issue is obviously a red flag too.
More mature than most guys with four years of eligibility: 2023 redshirt and 2024 health issues all year. Hopefully that means he may be ready to play immediately, if healthy.
Sat out 2024 with undisclosed (to us, anyway) health issues. Per MS State 247. Was expected to compete for a spot in the rotation. 5.6 3* out of HS who put on 40 lbs.
Traditional redshirt and medical redshirt. I think the fact that he didn't play, iirc, makes medical redshirt easier. Now if he would have played then would be tougher
Was listed as a weak side DE out of HS, but now has DT size. I’m assuming the NU staff has relevant data points on these kids in terms of 40 times, agility tests, etc. They must have liked his profile and since he’s got four years left, this guy is just an athletic big man who will compete for the rotation on the defensive line next year.
There's some intrigue about this guy. First off, he was highly regarded because he was a candidate to start this season. On the other hand, he apparently pulled himself out of football this year. Why? Legit injury issue or did he just quit the team for "personal reasons". Then there's the question of eligibility. This guy is in his third year of football and he still has four years to play? It's still five years to play four right? Whatever happened to the eligibility "clock"?
It will be interesting to see if he's a full participant in winter conditioning and spring football. If so, then he's worth taking a shot on. But I've had enough of bringing in transfers who have more surgeries at NU than games started.
