Class Impact: Elijah Arroyo to Miami

[RVACane]

Wrote this back in February after we initially offered, but it still applies:

Prototype size at 6'4 210+ with big frame that will easily get up to the 230 range once in a college S&C.

Plays in a Spread offense for a good 5A school down in Frisco, productive pass catching TE that basically plays as a WR, had 47rec 648yds & 5TD's.

Has terrific hands, kid catches everything that's thrown his way & is an advanced level route runner for a HS WR/TE. He understands how to beat coverages with his feet, his fluid motion getting in out of his breaks allows him to get separation at the top of his routes using good stem technique. Every route looks the same, which is great, DB's have no idea if he's running a post, curl, comeback, corner, dig or a go which gives him the advantage down the field.

Very high upside prospect & would be a perfect fit in our offense, reminds me of Noah Fant.

Welcome to the U!!!

Let's get the #TexasToMiami pipeline fully up & running!

Is he similar to Pitts?

Can they keep kids committed and actually sign them is the ?

Excellent pickup tho. Miami put TE in the league like very few

Yes, they did for the most part last season and still picked up Big time guys(avantae, knighton, Harrell, worsham) during a treacherous stretch of losing to fiu and duke etc finishing up 6-7. Rest of the class didn’t waver either

I'm gonna keep it 100, this kid is better than Brantley to me.

If Metayer doesn't wanna move back to DE he can kick rocks.

We got 2 athletic pass catching tight ends with arroyo and brantley. I dont Expect metayer in the class if he doesn’t want to play defense so it is what it is.

I really wanna post a NSFW gift under the spoiler for this pickup. Big fan of this kid. He's gonna be good.

 

[GeorgiaHurricane]

I agree with you on both points. Brantley has been an ambassador and he has a moxy about him that we have been missing. We dont need three TE’s so Metayer is the odd man out. We really need to be making decisions that is best for the U and the kids we recruit. Metayer will not play TE at the U.

He has a bigger frame. Brantley is more sudden, and likely better after the catch. Brantley i would put on the move.

Brantley will be alot like Charles Clay is in the nfl but Brantley actuallly has a route tree of a wr.

 

[prophet305]

He is a high character kid too, Miami got a good one.

 

[aleahy]

Arroyo is long and he makes hands catches all over. In front, behind, low, high. And, he can run. Elite prospect.

 

[TrueFloridian]

****. Stefan loves this get. Terror, Threat, and Dangerous...feel like I’m listening to Sandra Bullock describe Wesley Snipes.

 

[Dmorgan15]

Good pickup! This kid is a good athlete. I’ve seen him play basketball in LA fitness.

 

[Shooter McGavin]

Metayer won’t be in this class unless he moves back to DE. Dude sounds like a pain in the *******.

 

[Goulds Cane]

Moar Palmetto players?!
