Looks like he plays low and has a good motor, solid pursuit in the backfield. This certainly came out of left field.

 

[anglerman]

boom!

 

[Libero2]

Anybody know how long ago we offered?

Very quick off the snap too. Looked to almost be offsides on some of those in the vid.

Woot!

 

[SUFan44]

He has quick burst and is very aggressive. Should make him a good fit in our defense. And always love getting kids from the south - they are usually playing against better competition and are much more D1 ready than a lot of other kids.

Have virtually no info on this kid but the video shows me all I need to know. Looks like he could be a player.

Quick scan of his Twitter followers - being followed by James Harrell, Duke; Brent Kay, UCF; Geep Wade, Middle Tennessee State; Clayton McGrath, Duke; Rick Petri, Duke; Harold Ethridge, Georgia State.

Seems like Duke wanted him pretty bad.

 

[IthacaBarrel]

He looks as good as any DL recruit I can remember us getting. Quick off the ball

That many? Hopefully we can get one of the P-S writers to spin it that we won him over BC, Rutgers, Penn State and others. Either way, excited to have him aboard.

 

[orangeinjersey]

any other offers?

 

[CuseCrew08]

There is really no info on this kid...

Edit: In april his 1RM squat was 550 and bench was 350

Sparq score of 95.55... not sure how good that is.

 

[JackBauer44]

His tape is impressive. High motor, quick off the ball. There was one play around the 1:40 mark where he got chipped off the snap, fell to his knees, and still got up quick enough to tackle the quarterback in the backfield. Really like his tape. If he has as many offers as he said he does, color me very impressed.

Wow, based on his film, which is really impressive and his offers, it looks like another home run for the staff. I think his first step is extraordinarily fast and that alone would merit giving him a scholarship., but he is very strong and physical and does a great job staying long and keeping leverage on the OL.

A DT who has potential to get double figure sacks in a season is really a special get. Also loved the vicious block on the punt return. Another extremely aggressive and physical player in a class filled with them.

Welcome to Syracuse Ty!

 

[JackBauer44]

His SPARQ rating is very good for a DL as well.

 

[cuseman404]

what other offers does he have?

 

[texascpa]

FYI, seems his football conference is for AAA schools, in a system that goes up to AAAAAA. So, he comes from a small school. May be the reason there is little info on him and why he looks to dominate his competition.

Definitely half empty after he graduates.

You should know by now that if he committed to SU, Rutgers didn't want him and pulled his offer.
