"I talk to Brandon all the time about college," Jude Akpunku said. "I want to make a decision on where I am going to school before New Year's. I want to prepare for where I am going."

He seems like a good player and I don't want to slam the kid but are 215 pound defensive ends adorning the roster of FBS colleges? If he could put on 30 pounds or so and retain his speed then we could have something.

Would you take this guy?

Gray, he's at least 235-240 now. I don't know where that 215 weight came from (probably at one point when he was 215!) Anyway, I would not worry about his size as I can easily see 255-260. He's a nicely built kid. Additionally, he played Right DE at this size all year. Much better looking physically than Brandon in HS.

Just saw where the 215 came from:

This post was back in March 2010 well before his senior year and before I had ever seen him play.

Thanks for the update Cooley. What kind of speed does he have at 235-240 pounds? As a DE, I would expect our HS signee's to redshirt unless they are head and shoulders above AK, Obi, ect...
