Don't know if it is accurate, but it appears Kent State is his sole FBS OV.

Truly odd. Obviously the 2016 offers from Kentucky, Cincy, Minnesota were not commitable or he'd be signed. His actual Nike verified height/weight is 6'6, 185!

Skinny, skinny, but his HUDL shows a really good athlete at 6'6. In his first 4 highlights he plays DE, WR, Safety, and corner! He's the type of kid you bring in, redshirt, and develop over time. Not many kids 6'6 with that type of athleticism and versatility.

Must be grades or something? I'm assuming our staff has talked to him up close and personal. I'd certainly take a chance on him if he's qualified. Would be sad to lose him to Kent, unless he just wants to get out of Ypsi and away from home.

Interesting that he is apparently from Gibraltor, MI (about 30 miles from Ypsilanti).

BTW, the one thing we don't know is how much good weight he can gain. Will he grow into a 215 lbs body or be another Timmy Bond who can't a pound for the life of him.

6' 6" 215 WR who can run and catch are hard to find...
