Welcome to the "Gun Show". I'm sure the kid has a lot of football yet to learn, but his physical attributes look off the charts. I say get him grey-shirting with John Shurman and let him coach him up.

His measurables are ridiculous. Can you imagine this guy lining up at full back, trucking people, not to mention catching passes out of the backfield - you feel at 6'4 and <11.0 100m he'll be a tough match up for any defender!

We don't know if he can catch. It is not a given.

I'll tell you one thing the pictures do show me.....he has a bit of a nasty streak and enjoys being physical.
I trust the coaches can take him the rest of the way, as physical "freaks" like him don't come along every day.
Wah-hoo-wah, wah-hoo-wah! Uni-v, Virginia! Hoo-rah-ray, hoo-rah-ray, ray, ray--U-Va!

I don't know what the exchange rate is, but I am sure that 10.8 would convert pretty nicely to American time (tic)!!!
Seriously, put 20 lbs on him and put him on the End. Now, THAT would be nasty.
Wahoowa!

If he needs coaching up that should not be a big obstacle. He looks
like a FB player and with another yr. of coaching god knows what
he would look like.

There's a few plays in his highlight reel of him doing the same thing, or running quick slants/screens

His film shows him catching the football.
Do you mean he is so tough that he would never catch a cold? Check out youtube.com!

The athleticism is undeniable. After a little digging, I see that he was a nearly 43-foot triple jumper three years ago, which is impressive as well. This has the potential to be another Nate Collins diamond-in-the-rough. At the same time, looking the part is only half the battle. One of the most impressive recruits, physically, I've ever seen was Jake Johnson a few years ago and, once he got on the field, he was gone in months - just never made the adjustment if I recall correctly.
