So 4 DEs in this class? That's interesting. Since we are not targeting many LBs in this class, I wonder if Trey Verdon will switch to strongside LB.

I wonder if they project Carter to move inside. He’s quite a bit heavier than the others in the class that have committed

Probably a DT. Must not have felt to confident about getting Hudson or Hammond if they take Carter.

I bet they wouldn’t turn down two DT. The way they like to keep guys fresh on the D line

Hammond committed to KU today

I think we may only take 1 TE this year, as opposed to the 2 that we normally get each year. We have so much depth there already we only need to take 1. Same thing at safety. We normally land 3 per class, but some of those kids end up leaving because there is too much depth. So 1 less TE and 1 less safety could be why we are loading up on d-linemen.

I think they end up taking at least 2 safeties in the class. Could end up being 3

Verdon a pass rush specialist (they compared him to Will) who may switch to LB. Limbaugh likely a Sam LB. Woleben the only every down rush end. Carter would be the one strongside end

Verdon and Woleben make even more sense both as rush ends if one redshirts and the other doesn’t, since there wasn’t one signed in the ‘24 HS class.

Personally, I thought Trey Verdon looks like he’d make a great Mike linebacker, but the staff hasn’t checked with me. Yet. :wink:

Updated thread title.

Is 100,000,000% good?

It’s fine at this point. Might be something that comes up in a math class when he gets here.

 

[coolerifyoudid]

Based on highlights, he gets off the line quick and plays the run well. He's a physical mismatch in HS , so he'll have the normal adjustment period in college, but I love his first step and how he wraps up when tackling.

Welcome to Cyclone Nation!

Is 100,000,000% good?

Only if he cancels the remainder of his visits.

 

[CySmurf]

Is he 270 or 235??

 

[spierceisu]

Is he 270 or 235??

I saw 235 and thought he looked a lot bigger than that especially for his height.

 

[Clonelabdad]

Only if he cancels the remainder of his visits.

He has no other visits.

Is 100,000,000% good?

It is very good, and takes away any monetary worries for some time.
