I had the chance to check out the "Miami Gardens Bowl" tonight between Carol City and Norland. I had my eyes particularly close on Carol City LB DeAndre Wilder, who is playing almost primarily as a pass rushing defensive end this season.
Miami likes Wilder's burst, but his transition to full-time defensive end this season almost validates their concerns of him as too much of a "tweener" prospect. I was impressed with Wilder's motor and he's not a guy who takes plays off. He will need to add strength to be able to compete at the point of attack in college.
Again I'm not sure he's a take for Miami at this point, but certainly a talented player that the Canes coaches will monitor. My main question is where do you put him on the field?
Note: I recorded nearly all of Wilder's snaps and I've included clips where he doesn't exactly make a huge play. I just want the viewers to be learn as much as they can about Wilder from the video.
WILDER IS #10 IN WHITE
