My Take:

Starting at the :55 second mark, there are 4 straight plays that showed me where the hype is coming from...in the first two, you see Greg squeeze flat and redirect...that is natural movement for him. That is the toughest thing to get a HS DL to do, pay gap responsibility and squeeze excess space..yet, Greg gives a textbook demonstration then shows excellent athleticism on the redirect to get in on the play. Then, we see a nasty burst on the next two plays...unbelievable potential.

Greg spoke with Coach Peterson and was told tOSU was concentrating on the season for now but would make a decision soon on whether to offer him or not. He will take at least four visits before deciding and he may attend the OSU-Michigan game.
