How can they even rate them this far out?

Probably like they do the other guys based on film and camps, but there aren't a lot to judge on. Then there's always the hype factor of who comes from the historically better programs and how hard their coaches work to get their names out there. This Calvin kid looks like a BEAST though.

Here are some highlights, not a lot, less than 2 min. He is a big dude, that's clear. He does block with his hips low and shoulders square, so you can tell he's been coached well for a starting soph on a HS Varsity team.

I didn't really see him challenged, it will be interesting to see him in some camp films over the next couple of years going up against some really good DE's.

I actually wondered if he knows judo, after watching the film again. He did a good job of using the defenders momentum to help drive them out of range from making a play. He's got to improve his aggressiveness though, but he's young, so that will come with testosterone.
