LB Freddie Lenix (Cincinnati signee; transfer to Notre Dame College)

[wdg01]

For those who have seen him, how did he look at rb? any chance he get recruited there? I saw the rivals clip and he seemed good on his 1 run, but i guess most think he ends up as a S/LB.

i've seen freddie once each of the last two years and have seen him on both O and D. i am sure i can dig up some film on him at tailback, time permitting of course, which it hasn't been at all lately.


anyways, freddie has the ideal running back build, size, speed and everything. he could be an elite tailback prospect if he wanted to i am sure, but damn he just hits and hits and hits on defense and is always around the ball. he's just way too valuable on defense to be experimenting around on offense.

i liken him to a joe cooper or cie grant type. more likely a joe cooper size with cie grant's speed, but a hair faster.

i have to back up the vg here...lenix seems too good on D i think, i saw him play some at tailback last fall but he didnt get many carries...

 

[wdg01]

Thanks guys, I agree he did look very good on defense, just dont know if we have room for him there. I sure hope he gets offered soon

Tremendous free BN story on Freddie

Lists OSU as his favorite......with Ginn helping him and the fact that he has a son, you have to believe it will be OSU over Florida and others.

Great article. Speaks well of Ted Ginn, Sr. Sounds like some well-timed "tough love".

Kurelic- premium

Lenix is up to 16 offers and he is also looking at Ohio State, Florida, and Miami. Florida is his favorite.

tOSU says they are recruiting him as RB or safety- he will camp at tOSU

 

[LordJeffBuck]

Florida is still his favorite? That's pretty hard to believe. Maybe it's just a yet-to-be-offered future Buckeye talking....

 

[ysubuck]

I think Lenix will get an offer in the next couple of weeks during camp. I would think he would commit on the spot. Is he really going to go to Florida and be that far away from his child. I doubt it. I think he would be a devastating safety!!!

 

[wdg01]

Has florida even offered?

 

[BuckNutty]

Has florida even offered?

According to Rivals, no. I don't think we need to worry about this one. If Ohio State offers, and I suspect they will, Lenix will be a Buckeye.

Cleveland (OH)
Glenville
Outside linebacker

Height: 6-foot-0
Weight: 190 pounds
40-yard dash: 4.4 seconds



Finished 7th in the 100 Meter Dash at the state finals last year @11.08

top three are Ohio State, Florida and Iowa- most think he is a tOSU lean

Freddie says he will play LB and RB this upcoming Glenville season- does he play LB or Safety at tOSU?? What does everyone think?

This is a guy who is going to playmaker... one that has been alittle underestimated by OSU. I think he will be a great S but I personally would not mind seeing him at RB. A player and father with something to prove

 

[wdg01]

Im not sure, but wasnt he one of the top RBs at the Army combine this year?
