‘23 GA LB Jalen Smith (Tennessee commit)

[bigl3327]

Problem is his frame is small so he can’t put on too much good size

But he should be good regardless

Guys that can run keep getting drafted in the the first round in the 225-230lb range. I see no reason that he can't be that size in a year or so. Nakobe Dean slipped in the draft because he didn't disclose an injury. Virtually the same size as Smith.

I don’t see a small frame. Guess I should go to medical school. Any cheap ones you guys would recommend?

Based on scouting reports that RC passed along. Probably shoulder and chest width

I appreciate Callahan’s player information. Not as sold on his evaluations. Is what it is.

I’m not sure he does the evals himself. I imagine it’s what he gets from coaches.

Anyway, I think he will be great and I assume so do our coaches. I’m just passing along what might be affecting his ranking and projections

The way he shoots the gap full speed reminds me Toots highlights. When he decides to get the QB, he's a missile.

This kid will be the most underated player in this class. He will be all SEC by his junior year... So much speed and will tear your head off.

Pappoe’s ranking was because of hype that started his 8th grade year.

Pappoe also had an extremely high Sparq score at the Nike Opening camps. Rating services loved those scores.

Georgia’s ILB was 6’ this past season and he was a missle!

Al Wilson, Eric Westmoreland, Dominique Stevenson, and Eddie Moore were all listed at 6 feet. Kevin Simon was 5’11”.

Whatever happened to those camps anyway?

I'm thinking Daniel Bituli type LB.
Destroy anything in front of you carrying the ball.

Loved Bituli.

This kid is a different kind of backer though.

Don't destroy anything carrying the ball?

What other kind of backer is there?

 

[Type Orange+]

When you unstack the pile, the crumbling wreckage is all you'll find.

That kind of backer.

Not sure. They quit publicizing the testing scores, and then Covid came along and they seemed to just stop.

AP mentioned on the podcast that UGA really likes this kid. He camped really well there and would probably be a take for them any other year. They are just putting together a ridiculous LB class this year.

This is true.

What's also true (imo) is that only one of those LBs are better, maybe.

Y’all think UGA turns up the heat on Smith after missing Rojas?

Pretty sure Rojas wasn't a take for them. They are putting together an insane linebacker class. They will get Bowles this afternoon.

9.5 tackles, 1 sack, 1.5 TFL. Marietta didn't even run it 10 times so he should have even more tackles in the next games he plays. His speed is legit. Allows him to get to everything and make every play come to an end

“Very impressive! Let’s give him 3 stars!”
