Missouri football recruiting, moderated. Post responsibly and with respect for players and coaches. Rumors and speculation should be clearly labeled as such.
ASSETS: Excellent upper and lower body structure and is very strong. AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT: Needs to play with lower pad level at the point of attack. MOST IMPRESSIVE PLAY: Switched from SDE to DT just before a third-and-one situation in the first quarter, making a key tackle for no gain. CONCLUSION: He could play defensive end but he has the potential body size to make an excellent DT. Currently has no offers, but he recently transferred into East St. Louis. When colleges come to watch his receiving corps they will definitely take notice.
