Kid looks like he loves to hit, definitely doesn't shy away from contact. We're starting to see the long range effects of successfull Oregon football. Go to continual BCS bowls, garner attention from all over the country. Kid looks to have genuine interest, get him out for a visit.

I love the quick jab at SEC schools and USC....."They told me they weren't gonna pull my offer or play any of those games"

What's the deal with Dwight Williams? I remember hearing him being super high on the Ducks, but it's not reflected on his profile.

Really hard not to like everything that you see from this kid on film. Excels both in coverage and in run support and always finds a way to be around the football. The one thing in particular that stood out to me was his closing speed, not only in coverage, but in attacking the ball carrier. Once he locks on to someone, there's a good chance he's bringing them down. Reminds me a lot of Jairus Byrd in the way he's built and with his skill set. Very impressive player.

Lmao. How about the play at the 2:42 mark where he just picks a kid up and throws him on the ground? Nasty!!! Love these big physical corners were pursuing. This kid, Whiley, Hale are all 5'11" and up and all play very physically. They definitely have the formidable nastiness I love in a DB.

I love how good our staff is at uncovering guys who are just a touch under-rated and and offering those guys before all the kids getting the big pub and the 4-5* rating. Anyone can offer the 4-5* kids. It takes evaluation skills to find 3* kids who are going to be outstanding players. How often have we seen Oregon be one of the first top programs to offer a kid like this and then watched their offer list "blow up" and their rating go up too?
I also love the fact that we are starting to get some real attention from PSAs from the south. At first it was a novelty, now it is becoming an accepted, if still not common, part of our national recruiting strategy. Uncle Phil's, Field of Dreams, "Build the brand and they will come!!!"

Not trying to talk smack, but this kid is known. He has close to 25 offers and alot of them are big schools. We aren't the first big school to offer. I know what you're saying though. We are great at finding kids who might not have a lofty ranking quite yet. It shows the coaches truly evaluate a kids talent and potential and upside as well. I guess we are the first top ten program to offer him. Maybe that's what you meant.

Never mind the fact that it was clearly holding, what a bad ass body slam!

Lol.Oh yeah. Definitely holding, but if the ref isn't watching it can't hurt to go WWF on an opponent.

I saw on scout that McGraw said Coach Neal sees him in the NFL in the future. That wouldn't mean much if Neal wasn't a guy who consistently got people into the NFL

Seems like he plays a ton of Nickel for John Curtis which is kind of surprising/interesting IMO. Kid can certainly tackle

If coach Neal said that to him, that tells me he is up on, if not on the top of the coaches priority list.
