‘23 EN TE Emmanuel Okoye (Tennessee commit)

[bigl3327]

It was in this thread before but I can't find it now.

Supposedly he ran 4.4 and could jump 40 inches or something. And he's 6'6

So he's like Michael Jordan.

There's video of him testing. 45in vertical and like an 11'3" standing broad jump at 6'5 230lbs with a 72in wing span. 4.5 forty yard dash.

But does have that dawg in em??.

I want to win Championships.
I hope this kid is everything people hope he is.

Give me a 6'3 210 lbs guy as a freshman that runs 4.6 but plays with his hair on fire with sticky hands anyday.

This dude lives in the UK. Coaches have to trust whatever that NFL development program tells them. In other words there's no way to know for sure if he has that dawg in him. He's from Nigeria so chances are good that he does. He hasn't lived some pampered life.

I heard he can grab a quarter off the top of a backboard....and he's so fast he makes fast people look not fast

If he were here, he'd consume the English with fireballs from his eyes, and bolts of lightning from his arse.

He goes about 8’4”, 450…drinks his beer by the keg!!

I don't think you have enough info for that big dawg!

He's running and jumping at a place called NFL academy. Chances are he's comfortable to some extent!
Peyton Manning lived a pampered life...and he was a killah!!
Tebow. Berry. Etc!

I'm not talking about how they live. Im talking about what I SEE.
And this dude is SOPH!!!

Who are we losing out on by signing him in the 23 class?

Did they mess up the metric to standard conversion?

 

[VolInDayton]

How old is this dude? I know he reclassified and was class of '24, but is this a prep school where he can be like 19 or 20 already?

Does it matter?

 

[VolInDayton]

Does it matter?

Age in sports does matter. It won't effect if we take him given the current situation. But in terms of size/strength/speed his age matters. A 16/17 year old with those measurables is different than a 20 year old doing it.

When is this kid making his decision?

So is this guy coming in as a TE or Edge rusher? (if he commits) I would be more excited if he is a TE, simply because we only have 3 or maybe 4 playable guys right now (I guess Salmon could be an H-back or extra blocker). We need to replenish the talent at TE and obviously add some 2024 TE as well.

I'm surprised we didn't add one more TE before now, but maybe this guy is better than whatever is in the portal. According to people who study Heupel's offense, having the TE on the field is what opens up our offense, since it dictates the opposing defense to put either Safeties or LBs, instead of extra CBs. It also allows us to toggle between a power running game, with mixed-in deep shots. Totally different than the Leach Air Raid, which wants 4 and 5 WR sets.
