The one thing that really jumps off his highlight reel is how good the competition is. He is clearly playing against elite players and doing well. But it's scary how good these guys are. DLS had him play a plain vanilla 2-technique with his nose on the guard. While there were some stunts and gap assignments in the highlights, he excelled at just playing man-up with responsibility for 2 gaps on an initial run defense before doing something more for a pass rush. So his success is not because of a scheme, but because he's doing his job and doing a great job at it.
Nice to see a comment from someone who either coached or played the D line or ILB. I was a High School head coach and then an ILB coach in college and know what it means to line up in a 2 or 3 or 1 for a D tackle on Defense. So many fans usually watch only the offense during a game and mainly only the ball, ie: from the C to QB to RB or receiver and so on.
No, most amateurs just watch the ball. In other words they watch the snap, handoff, the back carrying the ball. In a pass play they watch the snap, then the QB as he either runs or passes and then the pass, the catch or interception, or incompletion.
Solid pickup...the kind of class forming that can pull other blue-chippers in. Is this the Ron Rivera effect? Resilient Wilcox? Assistants? Poly pipeline?
I gotta think its the Rivera effect and that NIL that we j raised goin to use. Great to see but Im worried that with a bad year in 2026 and coaching change we lose them
Does anyone on the W4C team have data to answer: what percent of high school juniors committing to a Power 4 team in May/June enroll to that committed university?
I'm trying gauge how much we ought to care about these...

Well when we are on offense, we watch the offense but when we are on defense, we watch our defensive players, no?

It's great to win local top talent!

We're always going to lose some guys every portal and gain a few. That's the ridiculousness of the NIL.
Lots of concepts of commitments this week.
