He reminds me of Whitney Mercilus. Very explosive first step. He went to Illinois and we missed on him. I will gladly take Tyreke Smith over Cox, especially with the passion of the home state.

As a professional Hudl tape watcher, I actually think Smith is slightly more athletic. But Cox had WAY better technique. So as true freshmen Cox is absolutely going to be better than Smith, but by the end if their careers Smith very well may be better with a slightly higher ceiling. Cox is just way more likely to reach his ceiling. As for next year, Cox would have been capable of being a 2nd teamer, but I think Smith is good enough to play as a true freshman, but hopefully as a 3rd teamer. Just need to find a guy who can move to DE and be a capable 2nd team caliber guy. Or play mostly 3 DEs (which can be done if no injuries, which is asking a lot in football) and rotate Smith in some.
