'18 AL OL Jarious Abercrombie (Walk on 5/18/18)

[UT = Checkmate]

True; Wenonah had a 77.6% graduation rate last year per the state, which graduates 87% of its HS students (national avg is 84%).

U must be a stats guy bc u always bringing the numbers. 👍🏽

6'6" 320 lbs. Send him to the S&C program ASAP!

Would be awesome if this guy turns out to be what Blair should have been.

Abercrombie needs to meet Fitz.

:hi:

.

Yeah, definitely noticeable. A little strength and conditioning with some speed drills and he will be a heck of a lineman. I am sure that won't be hard to develop.

Leb?

We need another OL with the last name “Fitch” in the worst way

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

Thread title needs to be updated. His name is Jarious, not John.

6'6", 320 lbs: Shouldn't his name be Jethro Bodine?

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

^^^^^^ Same size as #73 Trey Smith ^^^^^^^

Hoping he's just as good as Smith.

Weird he doesn't have any recruiting pages

Not really, there’s plenty of players in Alabama that are like this. Physical tools with no exposure

 

[orange parmejohn]

I get the feeling this guy will earn a scholarship

Hope he's not another Dellen Hatch.

Do you know about this guy, BB? Solid land for a PWO?

Or anywhere

gotcha. Figured with his size someone would have bothered to evaluate him before now

clicked on the video highlights in the article, and i have no idea about the competition he's playing but in few highlights that were there, it was pretty impressive.......

 

[rekinhavoc]

Boom!

 

[utvols74]

Nose-tackle; occupies two OL and plugs up the middle on short yardage situations.

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

From RTI: ...Abercrombie, on the other hand, rings in at a “lean” 6-6 320. Unlike Kennedy, who would’ve been (at best) a short-term solution to Tennessee’s OL depth problem, Jarius provides both an immediate boost to general depth, and enough collegiate road ahead of him for OL coach Will Friend to take that massive frame and cultivate it into quality depth.

If he is a lean 320, I can't wait to beef him up 20-30 lbs and watch him steamroll the middle of the field!

The kid looks better than good in the highlights provided.

There are flashes of Trey in those highlights..the kid moves pretty well. At least someone won't be stealing this kid this time around....

This doesn't preclude us from taking Kennedy, nor should it ever. This kid, while big, is an unrated, basically unrecruited walk on.

Kennedy was a four star recruit who has spent years in a high level SEC S&C program. Kennedy doesn't come here to "provide depth." He's a day one starter, and there is a strong chance we get him for two seasons.

I know what you are saying but the article says differently. The article says this kid has taken Kennedy's spot.

The article is wrong.

Agreed! Just because an OL spends 3 years at bama and doesn't play much (FR Redshirt & Medical RS included) doesn't mean he isn't good...It just means that they have crazy good depth.

And if Jarious is lean 320, I would expect Coach Rocker to be asking for him to get some snaps at NT to see how he works out there.

The article in the OP? I didn’t see that in the article anywhere.
