We are looking for guys to pass the eye test as athletes not football players. They are out there.

Or Adrien Cole. I still remember the hit he laid on Hawaii’s QB in Ruston. It was brutal

Here's one who our coaches say is "too slow" which is total BS.

Still up in the air for now. He is the Hunter Lee of defense. For that matter he is athletic enough to play offense. I can't believe our coaches label him as slow.

That's what makes me wonder. I'm sure he went to camps and was evaluated by a variety of coaches. Doesn't look slow to me. He lacks some lateral movement, mostly moves straight forward but he's not slow.

Remember Santos? He was horrible AND flunked out as a grad transfer.

Yes he was.

I prefer juco over grad transfers (Houston Bates being an exception) at LB. Guys like Tony and Villamez were good gets.

4.0 GPA, 30 ACT...offers from Ivy League schools and all of the Service Academies to include ULM, Nicholls, SFA, and NSU! Makes me wonder? hmmmmm

Those are the only schools that seem to be interested in him right now. Altho we've had issues with the service academies in the past.

Slow? he ran down a WR from 10 yards behind. Slow? I don't think so. Besides, even if his 40-time is a tenth or so "slow" he's a playmaker. Smart players make up for some lack of pure athleticism by knowing where to be, where to go, thus they gain back a lost step.

Also, he comes from a winning HS program. If you want to be successful in life, surround yourself with successful people.

I say sign him today!

I agree. I think he would lead our team in tackles.

Slow seems to be one of the new code words.
