My Take: I love the grinders...David is a well-coached, polished HS LB who wastes very little motion. He explodes downhill. At DE, he is not as polished but just as tenacious. The clip on Rivals at the 2:55 mark stood out to me...lateral explosion.

He won LB MVP in a combine in Austin. He was basically unstoppable on pass rushing...Bobby Carpenter comparisons are probably legit.

I'm sure thats what the staff saw too when they told him they'd stand him up, and have him with a hand down. I'm pumped about this kid - wouldnt be surprised to see him really burst onto the national recruiting radar next season.

It will be interesting to see how Durham and Jamel Turner manage to fit into the defensive scheme. I had envisioned Turner playing the LEO role at OSU and it seems strange to have two kids in the same class for that position. Heck, if you read some of the articles on J.T. Moore, he has said that the coaches have talked to him about both DE and LB.

Rivals $ - Bucks land surprise commit

Confirmation by Rivals. Was up for a visit after seeing UVA and WVU (both offered). Spent time with Etienne Sabino. Likes the family atmosphere and OSU's complete package. Recruited at the LEO position.

To be fair, Kevin at Rivals had this about 30 mins. before BN did... Just to be fair on who had the "scoop"...

Definitely a surprise, but I like the kid's film... Very nasty... Welcome David...
