DE Ufomba Kamalu update

[deleted3746]

Set to arrive 18 May, took a RS as a freshman and has 3 years to play 3 seasons, will be requesting #47 b/c he wore that # in HS.

Some quotes:

“I know they’re looking forward to me being there this summer so I can work with the team,” Kamalu said. “I think I should be able to learn the defense. I’m at 275 pounds right now and I want to be right there. That feels like a very natural weight for me to be able to play my best.”

“I’ve seen stuff about some of the guys but I haven’t heard from them personally,” Kamalu said. “Someone told me that Gus Edwards, the running back from New York, is a really good player. I’m excited to meet him because he might be like me.”

“Everyone is working so hard and they’re trying to make sure the team is better than last season,” Kamalu said. “I feel like they only have one way that they can go, which is up.”

“It got kind of hectic sometimes so I’m happy it’s over,” Kamalu said. “I’m staying on top of my schoolwork and I should be all set with everything. I’ve also been running and working out a lot. I’m focusing on improving my speed and strength.”

This kid could shut a lot of fans up. Crossing my fingers.

 

[CaneShades]

I am really hoping he can come in and contribute right away.

i think this kid could surprise. plus, he is 2 years out of high school so he is probably more mature as far as body.

Interesting that he's under the impression they want him to stay at 275 (presumably to play stack end).

I think he will suprise people. Out of hs he was a high rated recruit but had academic issues which kept the big schools from offering. I think he and Figs will shock people and suprise those star whores out there.

#47 needs to be retired IMHO

#47 needs to be retired IMHO

I disagree. But it should be a number that has to be earned first.

This kid have a skill set that we have been missing here for some time now. I think he has a chance to be a force early in his career.

Ive heard Al refer to him as a DE in multiple interviews . Stack end looks like the spot
