Military bases with HS athletic programs? Quality of competition certainly would be the big question, if so. Not sure if civilian high schools are into carrying American football programs or not. Anyone have some info on this?

I believe that US DOD schools overseas do what they can to recreate the American experience for their students. That includes football where possible. It takes a certain population to have enough kids who want to play football.

He’s 6-3, 225, ran as fast as 4.49 this summer and has elite measurements. A 10.5 broad, 38 vertical and he runs a 4.06 shuttle. He has some of the most elite numbers you’re going to see out of a guy that size and if he was at the NFL combine he’d rank top five in every drill at his position.

“He’s a true middle linebacker but he has pass rush skills. He’s a physical prospect. I think he’ll play early.”

A former gymnast, very athletic. A bit of a project, but I am very excited to watch this kid develop. May become may fave in this class.

Its funny we started the day being stoked about getting Zabien Brown (and we still Are). But I think this guy has us all very curious. I mean those are freakish numbers for a dude who has only played 3 years of American football. The question is whether or not he can pick up the mental side of the game and does he have the mean streak to play defense.

At the very, very, very least ... he will make one heckuva special teams player if he needs a little time to figure the rest of the stuff out.
