Kids profile says he is SS/RB, but I would think he is more likely going to be an LB or Rover.. No idea what kinda offer that this is, since no one on the staff follows him.. I'm guessing a PWO but the kid is from IL. But this kid can hit...

Offer from Air Force:

I think someone should tell him we go by MeanGreen not the GreenMachine haha ?

He most certainly can hit by his video. Needs to put on 20-25 lbs, and he would be a candidate for the lb position.

I'll take 6'2" 220 lb. linebacker in our system any day if he can retain that speed. Not sure how high a level HS ball that is in Illinois, but I love his closing speed and play recognition.

not picking on this kid, but more of a general question. is a crackback blocks really highlight worthy? are those just "fillers" for some of the lesser highlight reels?

I know this is a late reply, but Alec McEachern had a PWO at that time from UNT. Reports here in Illinois is that UNT decided to give his offer to a JuCo player from Texas. My knowledge of Alec as a player is that he is a talent and UNT's loss. He's 230lbs now and I believe he will be playing in the Big 10 next year. He played in one of the top conferences in the state of Illinois and was an All State player. If you've seen his senior highlights, the 1st shot is on Jeff Thomas from East St. Louis and '17 Miami commit. He shut Jeff down and was the only player to do so this past year. You may recall that Jeff Thomas just broke the receiving & TD record at the Under Armour All American bowl and not one of the top defensive players from Texas or around the country could touch him. I would say that Alec McEachern played against the top competition and the kid has a big upside.
