He just blows through the O-line on blitzes now doesn't he.

No offers ... yet. Is receiving interest from several major programs, including Ohio State. He will be in Columbus for the Spring Game, and for summer camp.

How is this possible?

OK, it's clear that I don't understand recruiting.

Scout has him as a 4 star (OLB #14)
-- McCrary at OLB#20 has a dozen offers
-- Trey Johnson at OLB#23 has a dozen offers

I don't want to debate the comparative quality of Brunson, McCrary, Johnson (or Gedeon OLB#13, Love OLB#29 or Moeller-Shane Jones OLB#33) or the quality of Scout's rankings.

How can a guy like Brunson, have NO offers (not even from UC)?

The kid is really good. Read the following article where they rank Darius the #5 OLB in the South. It may answer your questions on why no offers:

Chad Simmons ranks Devaris the #5 OLB in the South.

All reports have the kid stabilizing a shaky transcript. If his grades are right at the end of this year, expect a flurry of offers.

From email:

Devaris will not attend the spring game because of track but will definitely camp in June.

North Carolina State has offered.

I really, really like Brunson's game. I would love to add him to Anzalone to make an extremely solid duo of Linebackers for 2013. Smith would be icing, and a 3rd, but I am semi-conceding him to ND. Brunson and Anzalone would great to add to last year's haul.
