A couple notes on Marquise Lightfoot

Not Gogeta, but I think Moss flashes some value *this* year. Would be shocked if Guidry doesn't play him as a stand up pass rush specialist and just let him isolate on some TEs and defenseless OTs out wide. In a traditional role, he might struggle to show much, but in a subpackage where he just runs upfield and bends around the corner or runs twists/games underneath, I think he can give us a couple plays.

Feel like JT will be taking him on as his personal project. Thought I heard an interview where he said how much Moss reminds him of himself in college

Is that 4.25 shuttle time for real? That would have been the fastest shuttle at the nfl combine by a DE this year and 14th (t) best overall. Lukas Van Ness was 13 for GB and he went 4.3. Thats truly elite if accurate

 

[Odysseus]

Awesome to hear. Thanks.

You mentioned Moss. Do you ever see him contributing here? I don’t care how quick he is or about his bend - he just looks outmatched size-wise. And I am not talking about Bain size, like a little short. He’s just so slim and so is his frame.

I seem him getting snaps this year

This year, we have a tier of elite, first-round type grades. There are about six or seven kids on that list. The whales. Lightfoot was one of them.

Love it.

After the cycle's over in February, I'd be curious to know the rest of the players on the staff's board that fit that elite, first-round type tier. My completely uninformed guess would be:

Wingo and Smith at WR
Stewart and Lightfoot at DE
Stone and Breland at DT
Robinson at CB

Looking at his commitment video he had to have been knew he was coming here while OSU was congratulating themselves. This does A LOT as far for momentum going forward. Great job by the staff to stop the bleeding

i'm gonna keep it real...I NEVER watched this kids film as i never expected him in the class.

Now i can officially watch...

- Closes on the ball in a hurry
-Motor. This is what i want from my DL. Kid has it for sure.
- Uses his hands really well...is more physical than expected. He uses his hands to jolt back tackles alot..not just str8 running around guys that are working in Hot topic after high school
- Frame. His frame looks like it can hold another 20-25 pounds rather easily.

Him and Moss are guys you put in a wide 9 and torment tackles.
Actually like that he is running on specials that may get him to make travel squads right away here.

Comp for him is a lengthier (Pause)....



Beasley was a PROBLEM in the ACC...
His combine numbers.

I want Lightfoot to play here around that 240 range his whole career an keep that motor.

my eyes see a 5 star all the way....

 

[Caned Peach]

I'd trade a chance at Stewart and a couple other supposed "whales" for DTs Breland and Jones. Is there any way fans can make these trades?

 

[Caned Peach]

with his size, tape, and stats, was isn't he a 5 star?

Don't they wait till the start of the season to assign all the remaining five star slots? Or has that already happened?

I really hadn’t looked at his tape because I thought we didn’t have any chance with him, and it looked like we were targeting Stewart.
I don’t know about shuttle time, but this dude is way fast regardless of size.
Looking at his tape and watching him play special teams and tight end he pops right out.

Now this is a WHALE, we needed it and we need more

Agreed. Moss can also provide deception with his ability to move in space. He is a former safety and has a 4.2 shuttle. There was a play in the spring game where he blew up a screen to Robby Washington and looked very fluid.

I'm not s scout, and I don't shoot my wad over highlight vids. I like his. A good deal.

Why can’t Moss be a poor man’s Isaiah Simmons with a focus on pass rushing?

In Gogeta I trust...

 

[k9cane]

as Ron Meyer said while recruiting at SMU, ''we didn't want guys who could play on Saturdays, we wanted guy who would play on Sundays."

SMU also had a pretty good NIL program of their back in the day

 

[The U is back to work]

Lightfoot coach Levi said Ohio State was in the lead. Mario was on vacation relentless calling the principal and everyone in the kids circle

This is interesting where was this noted?
