3* center Jackson Morrison. I really really want this guy. Offers are Missouri State, North Dakota State, and Southeast Missouri State. Hes only a center so teams are waiting on him. He stands 6'2 287. AND HE CAN SNAP THE BALL!!! Hope he gets an offer.

Would be a nice get, but I take it you don't think there's any chance of flipping Bauer or getting Johnson and Wallace? With 4 OL already, all of those kids would take us to 8. Don't see that happening. If you take this kid, I have to think they're done on the OL and indicates they've missed out on all the top OLinemen in the state.

After the Lee commit 247 has moved us up 5 spots to 39, rivals has us at 42, and espn has us at 22. ESPN credits Lee as our first 4*
note: 247 does not have Kenya Dennis listed as a commit for us. They do not have a profile for him yet. He is a JUCO player currently.

Lawrence Lee will be our next J-MAC
Size-Strength-Speed
Possesses below average height, but wiry bulk and adequate strength given his size. He plays bigger than his size would indicate. Speed and quickness are very good. Fluid and smooth. Has the movement skills to win footraces and avoid in the open field.
Separation Skills
Can get from 0-to-60 in a hurry. He is very fluid and limber. Can stab his foot in the ground and bolt to top speed. Route tree is limited at intermediate and deep levels. Prominent underneath/bubble screen target. Huge upside as a route runner from the slot.
Ball Skills
A natural plucker on the move, but not always away from his frame. Can and will extend away and up for balls outside his catch radius. He is a confident pass catcher that can tuck and transition confidently. Lacks great size and red zone/jump ball matchups may be more difficult.
Big Play Ability
This is where he shines. He has wiggle, fluid cutting ability and can stretch the field. Able to be a vertical threat on the outside and provide home runs off underneath catches. Dangerous on bubble/tunnel screens. Possesses sudden change-of-direction to elude multiple defenders and win foot races. Has return specialist upside.
Bottom Line
Lee gets more impressive the more you watch him. He isn't a physically imposing player, but he is trouble in space. Lacks physical presence and will not provide much in terms of contested matchups one-on-one, but on the perimeter and after the catch Lee is tough to handle. Has the tools to develop as s route runner and return specialist in time.

I don't know if I'll ever see another J-Mac. I just can't wait to see how Lee contributes. ![](https://images.tigerdroppings.com/Images/Icons/Iconcheers.gif)

Mizzou23...Are you hearing anything as far as the DLine goes?

If he's not committed now, I doubt it. I think they're full on OL. See the post I made on the previous page about Jordan Sims. They'd like to have him, but unless something happens with one of their commits, they're full at that position.

Derek Barnett would like to decide in August. Have not heard how warm he is on any school although he does have a good relationship with Adams and Richards. Calvin Heurtelou is a JUCO DT who has had us as his favorite since we offered him. No time table when he plans to decide. Mizzou has made a good impression on Dewayne Hendrix. He is one who is waiting so with wins we have a shot with him. Rika Levi likes us. Hes a DT from San Fran who stands at 6'2 350. Waiting to make a decision. Only offers are Mizzou and Washington. He is also a JUCO guy. I do not expect any DLine commits before the start of the season. Would not be surprised if Lee is the last player to commit to us before the season. Those are just some names to keep eyes on.

Rika Levi was rated an 89 by 247 today. That would make him a 4*
Posted on 7/23/13 at 4:19 pm to TrueSon2014
Not sure what the situation with him is. I know he is a JUCO players. I have not seen tape of him. Few teams are willing to pursue JUCO players hard until late in the recruiting process though.

Also after seeing Lees highlight reel I see flashes of Trevon Austin.
That's exactly what I thought.

*Tavon my mistake sorry on mobile.
Yeah I think he's a good one has great speed, seems to make the first one miss, and usually doesn't get caught from behind.
He has one inch and ten pounds more than Tavon did coming out of HS. That bubble screen highlight had Tavon written all over it lol.
he will compliment our big wide outs well! I'm interested to see if we use him as an all purpose player.

To answer TrueSon's question, based on his film it looks like he plays DE, TE and LS.
