Back in the day - meaning the 1980s - Canarsie HS football was a powerhouse, and my high school’s rival. Times have changed.

 

[CapitalO]

Big kid Rivals has him listed at 6'5 260.

He was their best DT. Would help us for sure.

 

[dollarbill44]

I expect it will take quite an effort to land him, given the stated competition.

 

[Ttk.gman2]

anomander I could see him being a a great impact player for us next year especially going from B10 to ACC competition

Poor tackler. Sign me up

 

[upperdeck]

So poor tackler and below avg pass rusher, avg run defense. once a game he tackled someone and once every other game he made the QB move his feet.

I love you Steve!!!!

I guess it's my turn to be Mr. Negative today. But is this guy a difference-maker? Hasn't graded out as one.

I’ll have to jump on board with you with the mr negative stuff because I think you have a valid question. the numbers show he isn’t.

but he’s 6’6 300 pounds. I mean. he’s got the measurable’s.

I don’t need 10 sacks next year from him… can he stuff the run is the question

Yeah, he's inside. We still need an edge or two.

 

[OburgCuse]

This would be a huge pickup in the sense of senior leadership. He was a huge culture guy (team captain as well I believe) at Maryland and won some Big10 award for service as well. Plug and play guy that has been battle tested in the Big10. He won’t put up huge numbers but is exactly what we need with a plethora of young D linemen on the roster.

 

[cardiac]

I’ve been pretty negative about our pickups but I like this one. A starter in the Big 10, raises the floor with his 6’6, 300 frame. Will be a leader of this room, outstanding young man
