I’m far from an expert but I see and instinctual and cerebral player that likes to hit. Can thrive in the backfield similar to Mauigoa and while his lateral quickness doesn’t jump off the page, Brohm trusted him enough to stay on the field in obvious passing situations. He seems to dissect the play quickly and there isn’t much wasted movement. His ACC Champ film might have been his best stuff, and we need more big time players that have experience in big games like that.
Overall love the pickup and like you said on the instant reaction, Nicholson and Guidry can trust a guy like this to sit back when Kiko rushes the passer. He’s rangy and his long arms are an asset throwing his body around in the run game or chasing guys sideline to sideline.
Much better than Flagg, and better than Cloyd (who was underrated her).
nickname on here) or Saban recruit players, and those kids get on campus, they tell them, “Welcome. I am so excited to recruit the kid who beats you out and puts your *** on the bench”. That’s what we’re after here. If you’re a true freshman and you get your panties in a wad and bounce because we brought in a pretty good linebacker, then bounce. You belonged at UCF in the first place. The kids who belong here look at this and say, “Aight, bet”, and get the **** to work.
