Oh man...this kid is really good.

(checks notes)

This class is really good.
I know you don’t care about star ratings, but this class now has four 3-star and one 2-star out of ten total players.

3-star: Parks, Robison, Lenzy, and Reimer.
2-star: Mellott.
His team also won the state championship last year.

Reminds me of Jody Owens.
Whoa now that’s sacred ground :wink:
Completely agree on the Jody Owens comp. Plays low and a very fluid mover in every direction. Also has a nose for the football.

Depending on position nose for the football can mean two different things. Is it being able to track the ball on running plays, follow the ball on passing plays or is it both in this instance?

Regardless this class is shaping up nicely. Can I assume at 6’ he is recruited as a safety? It seems Choate has been targeting more “length” for the outside backer positions from my amateur recruiting knowledge

Also plays RB. Had a sweet touchdown run in the state championship game. He sees the field well.

When I say "nose for the football" in regard to linebackers, I mean that the player doesn't get fooled very often (reverses, counters, etc.), knows how to defeat blocks, knows how to fit the run, and knows how to take proper angles to track the ball on outside runs. Always being around the ball also usually equates to max effort and a high I.Q. of what an offense is doing each play so its a high compliment for a defensive football player.

He hits pretty hard. Even when they’re running away from him their heads snap.

Quick feet. Linebacker I presume?
Yup. Very active hands. Exceptional at shedding blocks. Lightning bolt to the football.
He's Brayden Konkol all over again.

Yeah i guess i don't see Konkol. I see more Jody Owens. Konkol isn't as quick laterally as this kid. That's why Jody is my comp.

Vim says Jody Owens, Choate says Mac Bignell... I think we’d all be ecstatic if he turned out as good as either of those two

He didn’t make all conference. Must be a tough conference.
