This kid is a baller, somebody better recognize. Get him in the weight room and eating right. We will have a safety that can bench 300+ but more importantly ain't skeered to tackle. Looks like he is aware and has good secondary IQ. Good luck to Nolan - work as hard as you can!!!

he dang sure can play safety and loves to hit. He's a player and I'll take him on my team. If you haven't seen it, watch the video..... the 3rd or 4th play makes me cringe.

I like his tape. He is a hard hitter,with good technique. He tracks the ball well,and seems to have good hands. I believe this kid,when he says he will work hard.

He makes quick decisions and then looks like a rocket closing in on the ball carrier. Looks like a very solid player to me.

He's not technically a legacy recruit.... He has a good highlight reel. But it's a HIGHLIGHT reel.
I'm sure we will see his measurables soon. I know those are not the most important things, but when playing at an elite level, it does matter.
I'm looking forward to seeing what some of the big recruiting followers say about this.

Seems like he's one of those TJ green, Denzel Johnson and Hunter Renfrow kind of guys. Under the radar kids who this staff finds and other schools don't. The kid definitely likes to hit but i didn't see enough of his covering skills on film to rate him at coverage, most of the INTs he got seemed to be bad throws. We most likely will use him alot on run support but i could see him as a potential starter later down the road. Good pick up imo

How does this kid not have more offers? His film reminds me of John Lynch, he's everywhere. His closing speed is just awesome. Did he play at a low division school?

Could not agree more. He could fill in at 200-210 pounds with his height at 6'2''. This kid is going to be a stud! A lot of people forget Brian Dawkins was an under the radar pick up as well.

He's got potential to make a name for himself, but I think Dabo is looking for ST's help in the kickoff coverage game in recruiting now as well and this guy looks to part for that.

Wow. This kid is a hitter and looks to be that one guy on his team that does a bit of everything for them. I'm thinking it must be a smaller school/division for lack of stars. Cuz dude can Ball. Will take them like him all day long.

...needs to pack on another 15-20 lbs of muscle on that 6'2" frame. 180 is a little lean for Safety in the FBS.

You watch, this kid is going to be a star. Word is that this kid has Luke Kuechly kinds of football smarts and Boulware's love of pounding the snot out of people. He could end being a real leader on the field.

The Kid had 5 Interceptions on a single season
Jan 22, 2016, 3:13 AM
|
|
In addition to that he seemed to have several good tackles in open space. So for anyone questioning this kid's ability to cover the pass I would think again. He seems like a steal for Clemson. I will take it. Also, bear in mind who else didn't have any rating at DE coming in to Clemson. In fact, he was just kind of put at DE.. VIC BEASLEY ring a bell? I say we just let the good times roll with this season... It's going to be on like Donkey Kong. GO TIGERS!

I noticed that we had one recruit get upgraded to a 5 star and we drop in the Rivals recruiting ranking. We have more 5 Stars than anyone. Maybe they are associated with ESPN. LOL.

Watched all of his film. Great improvement each season and not the least bit afraid to knock the daylights out of someone! Looks like a great pickup by Coach Sweeney. Could see some playing time early. Weight room work will only make him even better. GO TIGERS!!!

Under rated hard worker and plays 2 positions well. Hits hard and is close to the ball on every play. Might not have blazing speed but is football fast.

This is a very good pickup. This kid can play for anybody in D1. I know it's a highlight video so you expect to see his highlights, but this kid has a nose for the football. Someone posted that his interceptions were all bad throws by the QB. That's like saying that all tackles were because the RB ran the wrong way.
