If I recall, On3 has him in that five star category. I feel like I’ve heard you mentioned his potential, but you really think he should be that high nationally? Or more of like a top 100? Top 250?
 

 

Love his initial quickness, ability to COD and length. Big ole' feet on him too. Having seen him in person, legit 6-5 and 215'ish. Zina type frame that will take a little longer to develop due to not having a younger brother the level of Neto to help accelerate the process. 

Top 100 national type for me.

Is Texas pushing as hard as others like OU here? 

He has a nice ceiling as a prospect. Lowe, Orogbo, Marco Jones, and Shanklin all have the ability to be really good EDGE players. Would like to see Texas finish the EDGE class with two of those guys
