Georgia already has 3 of the top linebackers in the country committed... Not mentioning last year's class... This has to help a bit
Edit: sorry 2 of the top linebackers and lead for a third

Same size as McDonald. Figured since he was a little more mobile. I’m fine with this kid wherever

Sure but he’s also that size as a high school junior. I’d assume he ends up playing around 220-230. Plus I think Boo may be the NB

Honestly not sure what to classify him as, myself.

I watched his hudl. If he put on 35 pounds since last season and hasn't lost any mobility, he would be a freak at LB for us. He claims that he's 6'4 220 right now. He has coverage skills of a safety, can run sideline to sideline, and can come off the edge as a blitzer. That's a versatile weapon that sounds like Micah Parsons while at Penn St. if he can do it all at a high level. I'm guessing Banks is using that pitch, with coach BJM showing how he's developed someone like Beasley while here. I really hope we land this kid.

I will speak for everyone on Volnation when I say please let us all know when you figure out what you would classify him as. We all want to know your expert opinion. Plus we can let the UT coaches know once you fill us in.

Defense needs guys like this.
That can do a little bit of everything defensively.

Very disappointed to hear UGA is wanting him even after they have two 5 stars already committed there.

Hopefully we can beat them out again like we did with Matthews

Definitely has good coverage skills. A little room to improve in other areas. Slow on run fit at times. Also can seem a little less into it at times. Not sure about his desire on every down. Needs a little more dog in him. Still would be a big pick up.
Other concern I have is rumors that he has a handler negotiating on his behalf for NIL. Gut tells me handlers are looking for best deal and not necessarily best thing for the kid. Let's say he develops and then the handler gets a call from Miami or A$M. Handler is advising the kid to transfer for a better pay day if Heup doesn't raise the price. Is that the culture fit we're looking for? Does Heup want to re-recruit kids every year on campus? I don't know. Kid has the talent, just some red flags that hopefully don't come to fruition.

Well he literally did that for Tyler baron and Jaylen Wright so I don’t think heupel has a huge issue with it if you make plays on the field. If the kids good enough he will get his here.

I'm assuming you're in that area to have heard these rumors. If much of that is true, then it's up to the coaches to decide if he's a culture fit. I've said in multiple threads that if NIL is a kid's(or his representative's) #1 priority during recruitment, they aren't likely to end up here.

UGA has to be running out of room. I know there's no cap this season, but even if you take away the guy who's expected to decommit, they have 25 commits. Then they're CBed like another 5 guys, one of whom is another highly ranked LB.
