I've seen him in person 3 times as Carrollton and Rome are region rivals. He was very good as a freshman and has only gotten better. He's undervalued IMO.

meh, white linebacker

fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.

I'll expect his career to have the same trajectory as McBride: a valuable special teams player but not a game changer on the field.

If we package him with Mondon then that'll make me a feel a lot better.

I personally disagree, but I hope you're right instead of me

That Ben Boulware sure was trash for Clemson. Won a national title in spite of his white arse.

You definitely make it slightly difficult to determine if you’re a troll or just retarded.

yes, how "retarded" of me to suggest that black linebackers who make up the vast majority of NFL and high level college linebackers are better.

Out of all the obviously stupid takes that has to be the worst. So obvious and so bad that I have to assume you're trolling and not simply an utter moron.

Well, guess this kid may as well pack it up. No point to trying to play when he’s just a useless whitey.

You pick the weirdest hills to die on.

I'm just saying statistically it's unlikely he contributes in any meaningful sense. I'm all ears if anyone wants to give me the name of a white linebacker who was on the All-SEC team last year.

I wish the kid the best of luck; happy he's a dawg but I don't foresee him as a game changer in the future.

Evan Weaver was a unanimous All-American linebacker last year. So was Josey Jewell a few years ago. And Scooby Wright.

Touchdownwire has Luke Kuechly is the 2nd best LB in the NFL. Skin color has nothing to do with athletic ability.

Both Rivals and ESPN have him rated as a high 4*

RIVALS - #12 ILB 185 overall
ESPN - #6 ILB 222 overall

247SPORTS rates him as a 3*, the #45 ILB and not national rated. With that offer list 247 will most likely give him a nice bump.

Just provide reasoning you don’t think he’s going to contribute.

Being white is not a reason. There are a lot of good white linebackers. I personally think the kid is a little slow laterally, but I’m hopeful he’ll be good.

And McBride’s issue is legitimately the complete opposite of the reasons you hear most white LBs struggle with. McBride is unreal fast for that position.

I also expect him to grow into 6’3 270 DE, so lateral speed wouldn’t matter.

FWIW, that’s what I want to see him do as well.
