Not yet.

Well...what have you been doing?? We're waiting

 

[CuseLegacy]

Uhhh, if that’s an actual Mich St account, that is a NCAA Violation.

No that is just some recruiting page. Not the official MSU one. Besides I think they are going to have enough problems with the NCAA investigation that was started today.

Just for you I started the visitor thread for this weekend.

under his profile in hudl

• Positions: DE, OLB
• Height & Weight: 6'3" 230lbs
• 40 Yard Dash: 4.44
• Shuttle: 4.5
• Bench: 285
• 185 Bench (Reps): 20
• 100 Meter Dash: 11.19

That shuttle seems very slow considering the 40 yd/100M results. Would seem to have great top end speed, but slow acceleration.

Fitzroy Gardner on Hudl

Thank you. 4.44 is still greased lightning and has a certain ring to it .

I just think he doesn't have side to side speed. He seems explosive vertically. Shuttle is tough if I don't know what ur doing. A lot of hip explosions. Great for tailbacks and linebackers well and secondary.

Agreed. 100% what I was implying. LB's need to be able to change direction quickly and slow acceleration is a weakness in my mind. This could be improved upon through development in a D1A strength and conditioning program.

The other measurables all would put him in the upper echelon of the NFL Scouting combine for LBs.

 

[Alsacs]

This kid puts what we need on the field defensively speed.
Speed makes up on the field.
If coaching isn’t great speed makes up for it.
If we can get some sideline to sideline speed it will make us better.

CuseLegacy I think it’s no longer 2017

Got it.

Just like writing checks in January.

 

[CuseLegacy]

Y'all are lucky I didn't make it 2019, 2020 or 2021.

Makes senseto me. I still want him.

being recruited as a defensive end

 

[BKCuse]

Regardless of his exact 40 time this kid looks like he's shot out of a cannon on every play. Impressive reel!

I'd settle for you making it May.

6-3 240 pounds in high school? Kid is going to be a monster in 2 years, after being in a collegiate S&C program.

Would love to land a DE prospect like this.

To me, a stud defensive end, is the one position that can take a defense from bad to good, or from mediocre to great. It's a game changing position.

 

[PhatOrange]

His stats are absurd. That team is no joke, they were 14-0 before losing in the Class 6A state championship game to Miami Northwestern 21-16. Armwood was ranked No. 18 by USA Today.

Absolutely. Especially at the college level.
