Yes. I liked his video and considering Huntsville's success last year, I was surprised that his offer list was not larger. I am liking this focus on the DL.

Height is hurting him. Listed at 6'1" could be a hair under, Big Schools rarely pull the trigger on anything under 6'2 they think their reach is less and are thus easier to block for bigger OL. I never understood that logic because in football the low man wins, so why do I want a 6'4" guy...give me the 6'1" or 6'2" guy who is already 2/3 inches lower than the OL across from him. ok rant over.

Bc they have shorter arm length allowing allowing opposing players to win hand battles and positioning

This kid and the DT from Vann in OK might be my favorite offers at DT based on their videos. I hope he pulls the trigger.

Not always but yes I agree that is the "Knock" but if he has long arms and is high and the other guy is low and uses his hands well that can be negated. I had one last year 6'1 1/4" but had wing span of a 6'4" player

Manase Mose was under recruited for being 6'1 but he's been an absolute steal for us. Easily our best OL recruit under Littrell so far

Commits to ULM. Really hate to lose him because I loved his video, but with 4 DT's already committed, my assumption is the offer was no longer on the table.

NT best defensive linemen since Greene and Hardman, were Walter Chapman and Kennedy neither of which was 5'10". So I hope the bigs want to keep just signing those tall guys.

Not sure what's going on at ULM, but they also received a commitment from a high 3 star (.8777 rating) that had offers from across the country.

Grades is the only explanation I can come up with. Either that or they don't allow campus tours prior to kids committing.

UNTLifer · August 28, 2020

Decommitted from ULM yesterday. I know we have a room full of DT's, but I would still love to add this young man. Maybe Jordan Brown can get in his ear if our offer is still out there.

greenminer · August 28, 2020

@UNTLifer agree. You can't ever get enough linemen in your room.

No! Don’t! @Hunter Green, that is terrible advice. I would like GMG24 to stay alive.

NorthTexasSportsNetwork · August 30, 2020

So I know he backed out from ULM, but like what do recruits see in ULM? Terrible facilities? Terrible town? No money?

The Duck Commander was featured on their recruiting tour in the past.

I'm confused, I would take a solid 5'10-5'11 DT if they were dynamic. I would also take a 6'1-6'2 DT before I would take a 6'4 DT because of leverage (as long as their arm length could help protect them)
