Speed is legit.

Speed is ridiculously legit! This is a linebacker, guys.

Seems like CU is offering a ton of JUCO kids the past couple of years. Is it more than previous years or is my perception off?

More guys. We had a big hole, numbers wise, with the 2017 sophomores. I figured they'd try to balance things by signing a good number of JUCOs this year.

Speed is legit.

really unique 3-4 OLB if that's where they leave him. He could easily play MLB as well if we need him there. Guy has amazing closing speed. As a chase and run LB, he can close on the sideline in a hurry. Looks really fluid in coverage as well. Twitchy athlete that looks like from the film to have very good COD skills. I don't know about his hands as you don't see him get real physical with blockers. I'm not sure how good he is pass rushing. Speed alone will make him dangerous at OLB. Very interesting find.

10.6 hundred is pretty damn impressive.

10.6 hundred is pretty damn impressive.

It's insane. If I'm not mistaken, Jaylon Jackson ran a 10.55 between knee injuries.

 

[BuffLuke80]

Yeah, guys seem to be getting bigger and faster every year. Being 300 and over plus move like they can, something else.

 

[Bliff Cranch]

I think Jashon Sykes had similar speed. It'd be great if he turned into a similar Buff.

 

[BuffLuke80]

Not a bad endorsement at all right there.

Let's just avoid the broken back. What could have been...

Thought it was a neck injury.

Still one of my all time favorites.

 

[Buffnik]

I'm so intrigued by this prospect. Rare speed for his position.

 

[BuffLuke80]

Olb probably, wondering if he can play safety too?

Everything we have seen suggests he is being recruited as an OLB.

 

[BuffLuke80]

I know, was just curious.

 

[Buffnik]

Everything we have seen suggests he is being recruited as an OLB.

What's really interesting is that CU could potentially stay in base 3-4 a lot more. No need to bring in a Buff backer for a quasi nickel if the base OLB is faster than your safeties.

Definitely, If you have a McCartney sized guy on the other side.

10.6 hundred is pretty damn impressive.

Not as impressive as me running 10.6 meters in 100 seconds!

 

[BuffLuke80]

I bet lol.

 

[Big Jim]

I bet he has more offers we just don't know about yet.

 

[FLounda]

skooo
