I'm not really impressed, he doesn't seem to hit his receivers in stride often. Any idea if we extended an offer or if we just talked to him while we were at his school?

There is another You Tube video where he hits them all in stride. Long passes on a rope. That guy is huge and fast.

Are you serious? I'm no 30-second Bob, but those clips are 100x more impressive than Conner Cramer's, imo.

I'm not saying I like him more or less than any other prospect, I just think he could hit his receivers in stride more often, #4 made quite a few nice plays once he had the ball in his hands which always really helps.

This was just the first one I found I'll have to do a little more digging before I make any kind of judgement on him.

he was class 6A honorable mention all state.

 

[SWFLCUSE]

That video was much more impressive than the one I first looked at, thanks for posting it.

 

[TheCusian]

This one. He is the real deal. Big, fast and a strong arm.

 

[PhatOrange]

the third pass is a beauty. big kid. big arm. raw. coached right he's got the tools.

247 lists offers from clemson and louisville. scout said he had 2 visits in january but i don't know where to.

 

[SWFLCUSE]

Based off that one I agree he looks very impressive. Based off ESPN he runs a 4.89 forty, which isn't exactly blazing but it isn't bad.

There is a video on youtube... He was at the Orlando Elite 11 Camp.

I'd take him over Nassib in a foot race. But I might take HCSS over Ryan .

TOS says he had a Florida offer as an athlete at some point. Few other big schools were interested but doesn't seem like it ever worked out for him.

 

[Whitey23]

Akeem Jones is one of those names to keep an eye on with signing day fast approaching. Jones who plays at Miami (FL)’s Carol City HS says “I have a couple of friends who play big time ball that I would love to play with like Teddy Bridgewater (Louisville), Rakeem Cato (Marshall), Tommy Shuler (Marshall), Eli Rogers (Louisville), Devonta Freeman (Florida State) and Durrell Eskiridge (Syracuse).”
The talented 6’3 200 lbs. athlete has heard from Florida, Florida State, Florida Atlantic, Florida International, Middle Tennessee State, Clemson, Utah State, and Marshall. “Marshall and Clemson is recruiting me the hardest, but I’m wide open.”
Jones visited Florida State last weekend and says he also attended the Florida and Florida State game. Akeem says “I have visits lined up in the middle of January for Clemson and Utah State.”

Broyld!!!

 

[bnoro]

I just want him to commit so we can call him Prince Akeem...

And then when he gets trash talked by opposing players, he can throw a touchdown pass and say, "Yes! Yes! *** you too!" with a big smile on his face.

That, or "Yes! Yes! In the face!"

 

[OrangeBlood]

I wonder if we have offered... 247 reported he has offers from Clemson, Marshall and Louisville. Has he visited any of those?

 

[Antz201]

On his twitter page he has a Clemson, Kentucky, Nd Louisville jersey on during his visits, so yes, he did visit as those pictures were from the locker room.

Here's a different look from a 7-on-7 league in South Florida:

Same high school as Simeon Thomas. Hmmmmm, interesting.

 

[Whitey23]

i think he's waiting on a specific school to offer.
