New DLine commit tonight

Is the link invisible?

Yeah, I get the feeling we'll have to fight to keep this guy.

Ha. My bad.

Ha. My bad.

After reading that article, now I think maybe we'll have an edge as we were the first power 5 to offer.

A lot of highlights it is as if he was unblocked. I can't really decide if he just flat out beats his opponent off the line and avoids getting blocked, or is he playing against kids that simply missed their asssigned duty? But I tend to think it is the former. On so many plays it seems the ball has barely been hiked and he is already throwing the quarterback to the ground. And he is 280 going into his senior year! Looks like he actually lined up on the end a lot last year. I don't understand why he is not rated higher or has more P5 offers, but whatever the reason, I'm just glad he wants to be a Cyclone. More great recruiting by Campbell & Co.

So i watched the highlights...it seems as though he is unblocked because he anticipates the snap count really well and hits the gap very quickly..Sure there are some blown assignments too.

Looks like an under the radar gem!

I agree, has a bit of a 'wiggle' like Tucker brought the last few years....

Thats a great thing. Tucker had such a high motor when he wanted to.

Still cracks me up that they listed him at 6 foot though. I ran into him on campus awhile back, I'm about 6'2 and he was at LEAST 3-4 inches shorter than me. Couldn't believe how short he was.

That's how it looked to me, too. Most of the opponents are just physically overmatched and there were probably a couple blown assignments mixed in there, but overall he's really quick off the ball for a guy his size. Good get by the staff. Now they just have to hold on until NSD.

Ya but were you wearing shoes?

You guys wear shoes??????? Who would of thought! Steel toe boots, maybe!

It is strange that he does not have more offers. His rating is pretty decent too. I wonder if our offer will land him more even though he is committed now. We just offered a week ago right?

Also I don't know how to link it but his high school coach posted 4-5 videos of him at a ND camp and he is running by guys there too.

We'd love to see those ND camp videos if you can find them or point us in the right direction.

His coach replied to his Twitter announcement with them...not sure how to link

My first thought after watching tape was height and measurables.

 

[NATEizKING]

First guy he burns wearing a Hawk shirt? Foreshadowing

 

[CyCloned]

some nice footwork for a big guy. Looks like another guy that ISU might have trouble holding on to, which is a good thing.

 

[CyValley]

At first I wasn't sure which guy was Zay (we'll have to pick up that nickname, won't we?), but it became easy when I realized it was the guy wearing iSu shorts ;-)

 

[Stewo]

When was that ND camp? Can't seem to find any dates on it.

Edit: Looks like it was on June 24th. http://www.und.com/footballcamps/nd-footballcamps.html

His work with his hands is amazing. Footwork takes advantage of what he started at the top. Looks really good.
