I never heard anything on him but whats his deal? 5 star player and never saw the field. Was he hurt or just having problems picking up the scheme?

Pretty sure he got sick before the season and lost like 30 pounds, then came back around the UGA or Arky game and played some, then was supposed to start vs FSU but hurt his arm in pregame warmups pretty severely and missed the FSU game and the bowl game

Hopefully he can gain his weight back and be healthy for next season

He came in extremely under weight this past year. Everyone pretty much said he was going to need a full year to get bigger. I'm kind of sad he wasted his red shirt.

He played in 5 games, with limited snaps in the middle of the year, and recorded 3 assisted tackles and 3 QB hurries.

He is very fast, but just too small right now to be a factor. Hopefully the weight room helps him next year.

He and his family wanted him to play...which was not smart midway through the season...but coaches did what they could and burnt his r/s at HIS request. Some of these kids are just 18 yrs old and cant be told the truth and whats best for them. Hopefully next year he will be stronger and learn the position so he can contribute more.

I dont get too caught up in the RS deal because rarely will a player not leave early if they are playing at a high level.
If he has himself ready its like another addition considering he hardly sniffed the field this yr
He with CeCe, Carter, Z ect should make a very good rotation
