DE Jacolbe Cowan (transfer to North Carolina)

It’s coming on a year now. Still feel that way?(separate from the need for D Line guys in this class)

I guess needs always trump wants so maybe that isn’t a fair caveat.

Weird recruiting ranking. 247 has him much, much lower than the composite and they see him as a DT.
He's 6'5 280 now so he's a very different kind of player then we typically get for a DE. We seem to have an emphasis on the bigger and stronger type of ends.

Yeah 247 is just swinging and missing on their assessment imo. That’s a guy you can move around pre snap and cause all kinds of issues. Rushmen nightmare. Too refined and light on his feet at this physical point/age imo.

Just imagine what LJ could do with this guy. The assembly line just keeps moving along.

That’ll conclude my post full of run-ons

Wiltfong discusses Cowan in today's Bucknuts Morning Five:

At the 2:42 mark: "This is one of the coolest kids in this class. Terrific personality. Very nice young man. Will be a nice representative of whichever school he chooses."

Questions on motor and consistency, somewhat of a tweener, which is why 247 rating is so low.
