Louisiana folks, what can you tell me about this guy?
Apparently had to sit out his Junior season after transferring, coaches saw some film on him from spring practices and offered immediately.

3* DT, with only a few P5 offers, Fortenberry expects is his ranking to soar tho.

Weren't yall just on this board yesterday flaming Kentucky fans for taking a kid ranked higher than this guy?

That's what I read the other day when we offered him. Scouts were raving about his size and strength and think he blows up this year.
Plus, he looks 35 years old

Gotta feel good about this guy, if the staff is willing to take his commitment this early.
Welcome aboard, Mr. Christmas-Giles.

I swear to god this dude works at Wendy's on Broadway. I think he drives a Chrysler minivan with a Fulton Falcons sticker on the back.

I find it strange. Our coaches didn't think enough of him to offer and they scrutinize players closely before offering. Tennessee recruits better and is stacked on the DL, but offers what appears to be a project? Does he have a great teammate or something?
Regardless, it'll be fun hearing "It's Christmas time!"
edit: I forgot that we're being very picking with who we offer on the DL this year, so I'm sure that has something to do us not offering. We already have Capps, Guidry and likely will have Agim soon. We're also in on Daniels and several other 4* DL players. Not to mention that we already have good depth on the DL.

Maybe we're looking to convert him to OL

Expect a big bump for Christmas-Giles on all of the recruiting websites soon.
I doubt the staff evaluates his talent by looking at his star ratings on all of the recruiting websites. They seem to value him over most other DT prospects, seeing as how they took his commitment this early.

Vols fans- you got a steal
plus you have a player that gives you an 'in' to one of the most talent rich high school's in the country.
no doubt you will be recruiting kids from st. aug each and every year so taking a kid from there can never hurt

Can I trust you, I've been hurt so many times by opposing fanbases.

I'll bump this thread next time Vol fans start flaming a 3 star pick up by another SEc team.
Good pick up though.

Fair enough... to be truly fair, I'll bump it when he gets his 4th star.
Posted on 8/29/15 at 10:15 pm to Vols&Shaft83
I had never heard of him before, but if he blows up too much... watch out for the home school like always.

Wait until the HUDL highlights come out from the Karr game on him this past weekend. Unblockable. Double teams and all.

Makes sense. As much as I was trying not to, I think I was trolling a little with that bit.
