I wonder if you will start to see some more tall linebackers considering how much more pass coverage backers have to do today than they used to, and how many times they are matched up with tight ends in pass coverage

So, Sam is listed as a 5star on scout, yet wasn't voted to ANY national all star game!!! Not even the semper fi or offense-defense! And then on top of that, rivals has him at 29 for their Ohio post season rankings! I don't know whether to laugh or be appalled. These kid is easily top 15-20 at least in state

It's hard for tall guys to bend and run with guys in pass coverage. That's why you don't see many tall guys at outside backer. But, we're not talking about your average outside backer prospect. This kid has been playing safety then he switched to linebacker. That gives him some advantages toward playing time right away. He's a freak! IAnd that's in a very positive sense! :urban2:

He had a late climb so that probably effected things and invites.

We could have a defensive player that never leaves the field in Hubbard. OLB in our base and run defenses that switches to Star responsibilities during pass defenses. Incredible luxury to have if that's the case. I'm starting to disbelieve this recruiting class. It has to be fantasy right?

Sam came up in two different conversations that I had during the holiday season... All lacrosse related, of course... :wink:

That said, a college kid who is friends with Sam from the LAX tourney circuit and I were talking about Sam switching from the Domers to us. He has no inside info, but said that knowing Sam he may try to play LAX as well. I can't say how pleased I'd be if that were to happen.

I know that he gave up lacrosse for his senior year to get in better football shape. Not sure if it makes a ton of sense to do that and then still try to play lacrosse at the collegiate level.

I've already stated how ridiculously excited I am to have Sam in this class. But after reading the posts in the best OSU LBs thread, I wonder if Hubbard is a modern day Randy Gradishar? Not saying he has reached that, just his game-style (6'5ish LB with tons of athleticism and range, oversized for his time). In specific, want to call @WoodyWorshiper @NFBuck

Agreed. The LB haul this year was nasty. Isn't the Stanford LB who is graduating this year pretty tall as well? I know Shaw was quoted as saying he's one player who will be sorely missed.
