Class of 2024 OT Vito Shevchenko (Canada/FL) COMMITTED TO SYRACUSE (4/24/24)

[Atlcuse44]

Vito 'I must break you' Shevchenko

 

[SUforme]

I wonder if TE is a possibility? Very athletic for his size.

At 300lbs I don't think so.

 

[TexanMark]

All name team

Nothing like an Italian Russian name

I hope his middle name is Hans

This kid was a 180lb tennis player just over 2 years ago. What an insane transformation.

He needs to give our tennis team some practice handling 120mph serves

 

[TexanMark]

Kid looks athletic as hell on his tape…which is what you get with kids that have late growth spurts.

Not that explosive and needs to get stronger. Great feet and Gets to the second level with ease.

Reminds me of guys who are HS TE’s and are converted to tackle.

Eastern European athletes are usually strong as all get out.

I should start talking to one of the junior tennis players I teach at our country club. He’s 6’4 240 and only in 10th grade. Not too late to switch sports apparently.

Good call...at worst he might get some $$$ to play for RPI

Actually the derivation of Shevchenko is Ukranian.

Tak. Dyakuyu.

With a name like "Thoryk" (Tchoryk originally), I picked up a little Ukrainian from my grandfather. But...I had to look up the spelling for Dyakuyu ("Thank you"), to be honest.

 

[Yegorange]

Yeah. Shevchenko is as Ukranian as it gets.

Taras Shevchenko was a famous 19th century poet and writer. There is even a statue of him in … yes, Syracuse. Erected about 10 years ago. There’s a sizable Ukranian community in the area.

Of more recent fame is the soccer star Andriy Shevchenko. Also excelled for AC Milan.

I would love to see this young monster choke out Putin.

I thought so too but thought I read his Dad was Russian and Mom was Ukrainian

Natural NIL deal with Eva’s sweets

Then it’s probably the other way around, unless he took his mom’s last name. Which would be understandable - not wanting a Russian name nowadays. Hope his parents still talk to each other, lol.

In any case, most Russian-sounding last names ending with a “ko” are Ukranian.
