Miami saw him as a 3-tech from day one. They didn't bring him here to play DE.
To be honest, his ability off the edge is relatively average. But if you slide him inside he now has a huge athletic advantage.
Cause Bain is Bain. Miami didn't make him who he is. He would be doing this at any school.
And from what I understand we like Blount inside, not at the edge. Maybe FSU is selling him on playing edge.
That would be my guess.
Pretty much.
Bain is short and doesn't have the greatest physique. They usually don't issue 5-stars to DL who look like him.
We know he's a player, but that's not how the stars are given out unfortunately.
Bain is better on the field, but Blount has the better measureables. (and that's what the rankings/stars are about)
If Bain was 2 inches taller he would've been a 5-star.
