Wow. 39.5" vertical would put him at #11 in this year's combine for any positions.
As he continues to grow and add weight through college, these numbers will probably decline a bit, but he is clearly a physical freak.

But Buffaholic said he doesn't look that fast so the stopwatch and our eyes must be lying.
Yeah, I don't know what his 40 time is (doesn't really matter anyway), but his film is very explosive and you can absolutely see his burst, which is far more important at his position than his straight line speed.

Holy moly. What a stud.
Let's just round it up to 40".
No I didn't.
What I said was he shows explosiveness but has no film of him playing LB. That's a position that requires instincts, short area quickness, agility, coverage skills, etc as compared to all the FILM on him. I don't give a rat's ass by the way about his 40 yard time. But that 20 yard Shuttle is really important and really good (albeit hand timed)!
I wasn't stating he wasn't good guys, I was stating that this kid would be offered by Michigan, Alabama, Ohio State, etc if they knew what he could do at LB. Those types of programs don't want to take any chances and don't want to "project" anything. Given this kids' film, short of them getting him in a camp and working with him, they'd have to project him at LB.
My biggest concern would be that those programs do find him, given he's supposed to move to LB this fall.

I'm a little concerned about the CSU hat though. lol
ESPN moves him to Top-300, 234th Overall and the #15 OLB. Also 81 Grade.
NM missed hawaii buffs news
Bump, because it is awesome though.

(censored for family friendliness): He didn't get it eating pineapple.
2nd break of the same arm, which didn't heal properly the fist time. They didn't fool around with making sure it was right this time.
