DE/LB Jonathan Newsome (Birmingham Stallions)

Newsome was easily the most impressive Glenville kid at the combine besides Hall--this includes Xavier Hines. He practiced as a DE, and in the 1-1 drills, he played much faster than his listed time. I think he's better suited to a 3-4 OLB spot, but has plenty of time to gain weight and move down.

Please tell me that the forty time is incorrect. If that is true I can see why a school down south would us slohio. I also love the stable of linebackers we get but how many offers a year go out to LB's. Sometimes it seems we have more of these guys than DB's. But if they keep turnin out great oh well.:gobucks3::gobucks4:

Well, a Big 10 coach that used to be a HC in the super fast SEC thought Newsome was fast enough to offer early. Too early to worry about 40 times.

Trust the coaches on this one.



The 2009 Glenville class already seems as/more talented than the 2008 class. And you've got to love the enthusiasm for tOSU from Newsome (and Hall).

Perhaps in the wake of the C.Scott fiasco coach Ginn will let his guys declare earlier rather than later. I think it's safe to say the G-Ville "secret" is out of the bag.




disclaimer...I am not now or would I ever slam Scott for his choice. Fiasco lends to the "lock" talk about him and his actual pick.

Film from Scouting Ohio


My take: Long frame...reminds me of Curtis Terry. He can hold plenty of good weight in the upper and lower body. Solid change of direction and lateral movement...sinks hips and explodes out of change. He is raw which hands and attacking blocks, but the motor is impressive.

I thought this kid had the most impressive first step of any of the DE's I've seen in this 09 Ohio class... He actually reminds me of Jamel Turner on some the plays, with just the first step explosion, and quickness at getting at the QB..

He is still raw, but to be honest, he's alot more polished than I expected, at least in the film provided.. Obviously has to add weight.. but Im very excited about this prospect
