Ruben Tshilombo: DE; Byron Nelson High.  6'4" and 230 lbs. machine.  I found him while look at their QB, Tom Von Grote.

There could be a number of things that are influencing his lack of offers such as him being a late bloomer, grades, attitude, etc. Sometimes, coaches will not vouch for their players as well. This happened to a guy I played with. He ended up having to play D3 ball instead of D1, even though he was the best athlete on the field. A coaching change mid year screwed his offers (before the age of Twitter).

I don't know the young man, but he has the size to play. Honestly, he reminds me of that DL from Flower Mound that came here last spring. I don't believe he made the fall roster. Maybe he's a PWO candidate similar to the kid from Flower Mound.

I went ahead and sent his hudl link to our DL and DC. Maybe they will take a look for us.

Sometimes we have to take matters into our own hands.

I am sure they are well aware of him.

He is too small weight wise to play interior currently, and not twitchy/explosive enough to be an edge rusher.  He'd need to put on 30/40 pounds minimum to play interior and sometimes thats a scary projection when you won't know if they will maintain the things that caused you to offer them.  I'd offer him a PWO and see if he can put the weight on he needs to be good.

The wording makes it seem like a PWO

It looks like he also played RB. They could probably add a few pounds and/or maybe move him to LB. He seems to have decent speed on his film and did well against some larger OL.
