Hudl video is pretty darn good. I have no clue on level of competition. Seems to have very quick first step and burst.

Kind of an under the radar guy. He has offers but not from Power 5 Conference schools. But is starting to garner a lot of interest now. Staff wants a HS DL it seems. We will see what develops.
 
Looks like an athletic DT with a great motor. Seems like someone that could develop into a very good player for us.
 
He has been offered by other schools not named Grambling or Florida Atlantic.

See? I can put lipstick on the pig that is Paul Rhoads recruiting, too!
 
6'3" 270 is a good frame already

It is. He'll want to add 20-30 pounds depending on if he's nose guard or the three technique but he's a lot closer to playing weight than a lot of our defensive tackles. Not saying he couldn't play inside at 270, but he can add a decent amount of weight.
 
Obviously we need him at defensive tackle and probably will long term. With his speed he actually could be a good defensive end, IMO. Maybe a guy who can move around some. He could play a couple different spots on the line too if we ever go to a 3-4 or 3-3 defense.
 
His Rivals page shows an offer from North Florida. To my knowledge, UNF does not have a football team, nor does it plan to field one anytime soon.

Might this mean he's a multi-sport athlete, and UNF has offered him a scholarship in another sport? I am not exactly sure what drives the offer list shown in these profiles.

I thought the latest commitment of Joshua Thomas RB was great. The young man had some great offers. And his highlight films are great. Remember that Jake Knott was offered by no one......except CPR and Iowa State.
 
A big weakness last year was at DT. It would be great to sign Coleman to go with the JUCO DT signings.
 
I like getting DLs from Florida. I don't have any firm numbers or anything, but they usually seem to be decent.
