'21 DT Tyler Onyedim Commits!

[Crookedhatkid]

D Line will be great for years to come. People forget about this guy since Howard Brown is trucking dudes

I think they are different types of players. Brown reminds me of Curvey (a bowling ball with great feet and athleticism) where Onyedim reminds me more of an Enyi. A guy who can play inside but with the ability to play outside and set the edge in the run game from the end position.

Between those two and J.R. Singleton, I kinda feel like the DE’s in the two classes aren’t quite keeping up. Just a tiny hair behind.

But then I remember that the class before those had Peterson and Suttle as DE’s, so I suspect we’re good for now.

He looks very similar to the guys we have been recruiting for the past few classes. Bankston, Lee, Brown and Onyedim are all beefy bowling balls with high motors.

I love those types of dudes that make a mess in the middle.

Onyedim is 6’4”. It’s going to be fun to watch him when he’s up to 315.

Nice. Like seeing a recruit that already looks the part of a DT.

RIP running back at ~2:57. He pretty much killed the guy and didn't even break stride.

Not worried at all. His brother Howard Brown will keep him here.

Don't want to get sidetracked too much, but did Bankston play much against Okie State? I never noticed him.

Johnny Wilson will be a beast.

Johnny Wilson will be a beast.

Yes, but already at a listed 6’2” 272, will he be a beast inside or out?

 

[cyclone1209]

Johnny will be the perfect DE in the 3 / 3 stack IMO. A different style player than Enyi, quicker, more explosive but not quite as long obviously. I'm excited about him, he had many offers.

That had to hurt. Doubt he will get that clean of a shot at someone in college.

I just watched highlights of this kid's senior season. He's kind of been the forgotten recruit for me in this last class because when I think of DTs from the class, it starts and stops with Howard Brown.

But I can see why the staff is singing Onyedim's praises a little bit in practice this fall. He's quick off the ball, uses his hands well and is able to consistently slide off blockers to make the tackle for little or no gain. He's got a pass rush game and is good in pursuit too, very rarely plays himself out of position and maintains his gap responsibility. If this kid adds about 20-30 pounds of muscle, he could be our next great DT.

The one criticism I saw of Tyler from an “expert” who saw him in person wasn’t that he didn’t have the skills or athleticism, it was that he wasn’t consistently dominant.

This staff tends to take care of that.

Oh, I’ll add that at one time, I would have been wondering if young Mr. Onyedim would make a good guard, and could flip over to help out the OL. That’s no longer the case.

I don’t know why this guy praised me in his commitment tweet but that’s pretty cool!

Pretty funny, Gunner. LOL

For a guy who doesn't know better, I give you a B+ for effort.

Reminds me of a less lengthy Enyi.

Solid pick up! 6’3 280.

When did Enyi get this nickname? Just curious.
We are talking about this guy, yes?

Who knows but probably the same way anybody gets a nickname. I met his mom at a game a few years ago and that’s what she called him. Nice lady
