Erno definitely passes the eyeball test at his middle linebacker position and is very productive cleaning up between the tackles. He is tall, thick and well-proportioned. Plays with a wide, solid base at the point of attack and shows good power through his hips and lower-body. Fills hard and quickly downhill with square shoulder pads; rarely gets turned out of his run gap and forces blockers and ball carriers upright on contact. This kid will blow up the fullback iso and excels against two-back power-running schemes. Shows good short-range speed and sharp lateral pursuit angles in traffic. Closes fast on his final steps before contact and is a strong tackler. Not overly reactive but takes very few false steps and can deceptively redirect. Gets to his drop quickly while reading the quarterback and underneath routes. Hips, turns and overall fluidity in coverage will surprise you for a thicker linebacker, and he will close hard and quickly on the pass. Our main concern when projecting for the next level is his lack of sideline-to-sideline speed and range. Good football speed but could struggle against offenses that spread the field and create matchups in space. Excels when he has a clear read to the ball carrier but can struggle sifting through the wash and slipping the cutoff block when linemen reach him. Hand and shedding technique for a linebacker with his measurables is not as strong and polished as you would like. Bottom line, Erno is a tough, productive, downhill run stopper and can remain on the field and be effective versus pass; highly-coveted attributes. Upside may be limited but he is physically ready to contribute.

Inside UCLA with Brian Dohn

The coaches clinic before UCLA's scrimmage brought out a lot of high school coaches, and it also brought a bunch of recruits.

Among the guys I saw were Crenshaw linebacker Hays Pollard, Tesoro linebacker John Michael Davis, Lynwood running back/safety Kevin Ayers, Crespi receiver Kevin Cummings, Los Alamitos quarterback Clark Evans, West Bakersfield offensive tackle David Burn (who is a very big kid), Lakewood linebacker Trevor Erno and a trio of Jordan players in receiver/defensive back Eric Hunter, receiver/free safety Delvon Purvis and quarterback/receiver DeShawn Beck.

Arizona was the first school to offer Trevor Erno about two weeks ago and he plans to visit them unofficially on May 8-9. He says that Arizona and Washington State are his solid leaders now and he feels that both programs are recruiting him the hardest. He also plans to visit the Cougars on June 20. "The new coaches at Washington State are really cool," Erno said.
