InsideTheU.com (who I hate for their editorial commentary but feel like I must reference here) ran a story on this kid.... good size, good offers, highly ranked. Sounds extremely high on us and speaks as if our staff really likes him as well. If you go through the archives on the networks, most of the in-person evaluations of him are very favorable with many referencing that he "makes things look easy".

Height seems legit, he looks huge. Difficult for me to get a feel on his athleticism based off of these.... look like they were shot off an iphone and everything's choppy .

We are definitely all over Virginia since Golden got here. Between LA and VA I can't remember ever seeing as many interviews where kids talk about us coming after them. I love it.
 
I would definitely take this kid at safety. He looks good.

I say take Burns, Carter, and this kid and you're bound to find a safety in the bunch.

I'm all for bringing in as many quality athletes as possible. Our secondary has lacked top end athletes for a couple seasons now......especially at S.
 
We should take this kid but he will not stay at safety... Will grow out of that position he could easily be 205 prior to entering college. He seems longer than Ray-Ray.. and faster.. He is a hybrid LB/Safety type in 3-4 all day long.

I was thinking the same thing. He's a big kid that plays well on the line. I think he could play S but if he out grows or gets beat by J.Carter/Burns/Jenkins he can move to LB.

I don't understand this thinking. What is wrong with a 205 LB safety if he can keep his speed? Kid can then focus just putting good weight and leaving at 225/230, ideal weight for a S in the NFL.
 
Gotta think Carter and Burns are 1-2 on our board, even though some think Burns can be a corner. This kid might be 3.

Level of Competition?



Looks like he's playing against JV comp. Good size though.

It's pretty good up here. We have some decent teams/players. A lot of kid's from nearby Ashburn have gotten rides to Alabama, Stanford, South Carolina, etc.

Not FL good...but better than average.

230 lbs is a big *** safety.
