Palmetto Proving Grounds

He's got legit size. If he can run and catch, I don't see why his ranking would be a stretch.

He's got a legit ugly mug also.

Edit: I just watched the first few seconds of this guys film, and he can fly for someone that size. He also has great hands. That is an amateur opinion, however.

Steve,
Go watch a game, you've lost a lot of eval cred on this one.

Reminds me of a young Hodor.

I know that is highlights, but on one of those plays he takes off on a dead sprint, and he is flying, and goes by the safety like he is standing still. The safety probably runs a 5 second forty. He also makes a 1 handed catch look very easy. I know it's against bad competition. I don't know what he should be ranked, or anything like that, but he looks like a good BCS tight end prospect. It is hard to tell because of the lack of competiton.

I know for a fact the guy is ugly.

I'll tell you something that is more puzzling. Watch this, this guy has an offer from Bama as a RB.

That can't be true. No safety at that level of SCISA is going to see the field in anything but a blowout if he's that slow. If it was SCISA 1A (or whatever the lowest classification is these days), that might be true, but not at the highest classification. I went to a small 2A SCISA school through 9th grade and we had plenty of guys in the 4's. One of them timed out at a 4.4 at an FSU camp. Of course he was about 5' tall and 120 lbs if that. But the kid could fly. They have enough bodies at the higher classifications to get 4.7 or at worst 4.8 guys at safety.

As for the kid, that one play was the only one that he looked fast in. I wasn't overly impressed, but I didn't think he was roadkill either. He had some good plays, one example of great hands and blocked well against guys who won't likely play anywhere after high school. But I would be hard pressed to give him a 93 rating based off what I saw.

Must be cu guys working the stop watches. There aren't that many guys who really run in the 4's and very few in SCISA, go look at the track results if you want proof.
