Joseph Jackson and Jonathan Garvin

[ABLECANE]

Don't want to change the subject but can anyone do a scouting report on DJ Johnson? I'm curious to know why some, including Pete, think he can make the move to DT at the next level. Thanks

Joe Jackson was more physical than Garvin. He can play the run also, Garvin is still young though.

 

[Sigma_Cane_7]

Can't remember the last surprise commit we got that excited me as much as Garvin.

Perryman?

I got tired just watching his terminator like pursuit. Kid is a sack machine. As Garvin adds muscle and technique he will become an incredible DE at the U.

 

[BALLHAWKU]

I hope so since Jackson is the best de on thE team

1. This guy's combination of speed and length is unreal. Dominant tape.
2. Love to see a guy throwing up the U after a big play.
3. Future all-American DE

yeah I don't get that. I want his athleticism on the outside.

I checked Garvin against some current top Florida lists and am pretty blown away as to how low they have them. Either they haven't accounted for his monstrous senior year, or they need to fire their personnel. How is he NOT a top 20 guy in the state?

100%. An 18-sack season at the 8A level in S. Florida with those measurable? I just don't get how this kid isn't a 5-star and invited to every all-star game in the country.

Wasn't pursued by Alabaga. Had they pursued he'd be a 5 star and the hottest DE recruit in the country.

This dude legit had 25 sacks if we include the preseason game where he couldn't be blocked.

Kool is going to destroy college football with the dudes he's got.

I'm not quite at midnight reading this but I'm a solid 10:30 pm

 

[3G Cane]

This dude gonna wreck ****. Too many focus on the ones that got away. I'm happy for the savages we got.

I like Garvin. Just me, but I don't see Jackson, though.

You don't see his HL video or you don't see what everyone else in the country now sees??

I meant that while I like Garvin, I don't see him as being another Jackson with regards to prospects coming out of high school. Just from the film, he doesn't have the same "pop" that Jackson had. Doesn't mean I'm not high on Garvin, but just that I'm not as high on him as I was on Jackson.

This. Doesn't look nearly as explosive.

I think Jackson's twitch sticks out because he just looks bigger in his tape, he looks like a legit DE in it. Looks bigger than listed. In the meantime Garvin looks smaller, but because of that looks more flexible and a better pass rusher. I see Joe Jackson as a true traditional 4-3 DE while Garvin is more in the mold of a Shane Ray, Vic Beasley etc...

Jackson was 2 years older at the same stage. He should be bigger. Best info Pete had in the OP was that Garvin is 17. He's going to be 6'5 and 260 by the time he's a sophomore and just murdering people.

Definitely a good point by Pete

low key my fa croot in the class.

That wingspan and motor is special.

What i think a lot peeps forget and what COACH KUL seems to put a prerequisite on is motors. I want my dline to have that motor..because you can an will get beat initially a lot but you have to keep pushing. This kid is going to be scary at 6'3 -250 especially if he actually gets to shirt...which i think he should cause i see DJ Johsnon being more ready to play right now.

 

[LuCane]

I think he's different than Joe Jackson, but not any less of a potential impact over the long haul. To me, he's on the prospect path we hoped and prayed for AQM.

If Joe Jackson is Aldon Smith in terms of style and attributes, I think Garvin projects to someone like Chandler Jones for style and attributes.

 

[jump1cane]

Well, ****.

 

[fresssh]

1 of my top 5 favorite recruits in our class. Hes going to be a good one.

DJ Johnson athleticism reminds me of this guy who revolutionized the DT position.

Sapp was three-sport threat in Apopka | TBO.com

Watch Johnsons highlights of him returning kicks and catching passes.

Perryman?

Might be.

 

[arizonacane]

AQM ******** the pooch enabled JJ to get the playing time as a freshman.

 

[TheToadSage]

A+ pull on the defensive line this class, who are some guys we are targeting in 2018? That is when our front 7 will be second to none if not next season.

 

[GrozDozer]

"Just doesn't pop off the screen like Jackson did"

Jackson 6 sacks versus 3A

Garvin 18 sacks versus 8A (plus another seven versus FSU commit Blackman in unofficial game)

Ok then.
