Looks like he could play OLB/DE hybrid with a bit of a pass rush focus. Pretty quick off the snap, somewhat violent tackler. Appears to have some natural strength given his lean frame and weight. Good pad level given his 6'6'' height.

Take a look at the size of the roster. Looks like a college team on the sideline.
Looks like Trevardo incarnate with his speed and seems to have good instincts or football IQ with the angles he takes. Teach him a spin move and he'd have six sacks a game.
I wonder about the offers he has so far though. Are the bigger schools staying away for some reason?

Well Trevardo was much shorter if I recall correctly. But yes, this guy looks disruptive so I can see your attempt to parallel.

As to the size of the players - yes broadly speaking looking around the country it seems the kids in the northeast are smaller. Just fewer big bodies and bruisers and explosive players. Of course we have kids that can play up here, but there are fewer it just seems the avg body weight on the field up our way is 30lbs less at the LOS which is significant.

Interesting back story on this kid: Edgewater senior Nate White overcomes homeless stretch, thrives in Orlando (just wonder what the odds of getting him up this far away from family would be)

Things are getting interesting - this speedster is a UH commit.



247 link - Ife Adeyi, Mansfield Legacy, Wide Receiver

HUDL link - Senior Yr.

Claims 4.40 40 speed and 10.6 100 meter speed. Looks it on tape.

We offered him 4 days after he committed to Houston back in mid-September. Nice job by staff to still get him on campus for a campus/facility comparison.
 
Well - down goes the Ife Adeyi visit posts. I suppose UH gave him a call. He was genuinely smiling in the pics, so we got that going for us which is nice.

He also gave out some likes for the retweets.

I think what he really needs to do is delete his UH posts and put ours back up!

I did a poor job with my comment about roster size. What I meant was not the physical size of the players but the number of players on the roster. Maybe 50 or more on his team? I don't go to high school games so maybe that's normal but it looked like a lot more players than I'd expect on a high school team.

Any thoughts on why his only two offers are from schools way outside the mainstream of football powers?
Qualifying questions?

No idea. Last year I started poking around Tennessee HS football and it seemed loaded with low three star kids with few offers. There is just more talent down there.
 


(That’s twice this cycle w/ UConn University and based on other offers - needs a bit more research but same high school as DB DJ Green)

Jalen Whittaker is a 6-1 165lb DB from Wharton High School in Tampa Florida.

Guess who deleted his UConn offer tweet?
 
So its seems to be down to UConn, Pitt and UGA. The choice is obvious here - UConn. We have the playing time and an OC that wants to feed you the ball!

Yeah, dude had an explosive tape for a DE. For 36 hours it seemed like we had a 20% chance and then Oregon crushed it and now this...

It's the normal flow w/ JUCOs/Grad Transfers. As the early signing period gets closer, P5 go through their boards and look where the holes are and begin to hedge their bets. P5 is the pot of gold for a lot of these kids - they will wait for the commit pecking order to get to them and then choose. The only thing UConn can continue to do is get their interest out and wait for their turn (... and often by the time it gets to us, the JUCO/Grad field has been harvested pretty good).

Oh, thats how it works? :rolleyes: Oh buddy, I kid.
 
Baylor in the neighborhood.....Ethan Minor camped with UConn this summer and has been pretty clear he's interested in the program.
