Freaking love this. Says what's up y'all, it's Ohio State with no drama basically. His mom said LJ Sr and no swearing in practice was a big deal in choosing Ohio State, obviously more went into that decision but a great reminder why we have strict rules on language in the recruiting forum. Not going to get preachy, but these things can matter.

On another note, I had no idea he was a state champion wrestler (or even that he wrestled). I've said it a million times, but lineman that wrestled are so much more likely to succeed at football. Stats are just there. Makes me all that much more excited on this commitment, which was already really excited because I couldn't hush my butt about this watching the Reds game with my dad.

In summation, this is like Vonn Bell big when we got him from the south. These are the battles you have to win at key positions against your top opponents, and we did. Great job by the staff and dang I'm fired up.

And ran the 4x100 ANCHOR leg!!! That's some freaky stuff right here. Reminds me of Zach Harrisons athletic ability. We need him to hit his stride much faster than Zach did though.

Great family. Humble kid. Grounded kid. Freakish athlete. The fact that he is a State wrestling champion is going to pay big dividends with leverage, etc. I love everything about this.

I thought it was the 4x400?
Which would be even more astounding at that size

Zach Harrison didn't have a body like this kid.

Gotta love a defensive play where there is a graphic content warning...

That reminded me of Clowney just for a second — where he used to just explode through the line and penetrated while making it look like he was just horse playing with children.

I'm getting some Cam Heyward vibes from him, with his combination of size, speed and technique

 

[Bestbuck36]

He splits double teams like cords of wood. Easy peasy.

I honestly was going to say the same thing, the way he plays screams Heyward and then the Georgia-based fact is another connection. If he ends up in that ilk we will be happy.

My god

So, uh...do we think he might have promise or what?

Kid is a freaking unit and not near his potential yet imo, which is very exciting because I think he is talented enough to step on the field in a college game now. We have to round out the DL class obviously, but thinking of Houston and Scott on the same DL together is a very exciting thought.
