WR Chris Olave (1st Team All B1G, 1st Team All-American, New Orleans Saints)

Would be a great addition if we can sway him from UCLA. Washington looks OUT due to grades and JBB seems to be trending away to Nebraska, so it is looking like we'll have room. Also keep in mind that Dixon, Campbell and McLaurin at the very least will all be gone after this year, perhaps Hill/Mack/Victor if any of those 3 have a breakout year (although it does not seem likely at this point they would go early). Saunders and Hill are both juniors as well. Grimes is transferring and we were counting on him in a big way in the future. Although I think Blue Smith is a WR, he could grow into a TE down the road. So in other words, I think there is a definite need at the WR position.

Oh my after watching the highlights from his 4 games senior year! Serious track speed, has the speed to run away from everybody! But not just a track guy, shows great body control and goes up and gets the ball at its highest point! Huge steal here with a lot of Devin smith in him! Needs to fill out, which is scary cause his speed will probably improve even more!

Really really reminds me of Devin... Shoot he kind of even looks like him a bit. Literally is the same height and weight as Devin coming out. You know UFM is thinking exactly this thought as well and has problem mentioned it to Chris even.


Here are their personal best track numbers if anyone's interested

Olave- 100 Meter was 10.82 and long jumped 23'6 (insane)

Smith- 100 Meter was 11.03 and long jumped 21'9

So basically identical speed but a better ability to jump (is that even possible?). The biggest difference to me is when you watch Devin's film geez he still catches a ton of deep throws but I don't notice that as much with Chris. Devin was just so unique in his ability to always break free deep

Devin has the Stark county record in the 100 m at 10.56 also his 24’7” long jump and 7 1/2 high jump are pretty impressive too.

The records I found didn't have those listed... At any rate both run fast and jump high.

Edited: I believe those PR's for Devin were from College. I was going based off his HS bests to compare them at the HS level.
