last year's best recruit in the nation...

http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/recruiting/player-Jadeveon-Clowney-90885

Clowney 4.65...Brad Horton 4.7

Clowney 6'6"...Brad Horton 6'6"

Clowney 247...Brad Horton 240

I see very little difference here...

Welcome Brad! No pressure or anything, but you aren't far from Clowney's specs...Now get you some QB's and tackles for loss!

Before I get railed on, it was just a fun comparison. Clowney just came to mind cause I remembered he was a 6'6" DE that ran just under a 4.7... and they made a HUGE deal out of him signing late and picking south carolina over about, what 20 offers? maybe more? Anyways, fun stuff.

Sweet, a local kid.

Awesome. Welcome aboard Brad and the Horton family! Glad to see a Liberty Warrior come to NT (their football coaching staff is loaded with alums, NT letterman, and a few ex NT coaches/GA's).

Just an FYi, but there's some Boone at Pilot Point in Brad's highlight tape. I think Horton screams tremendous upside and really believes that if there's a coach in America who can develop him into a good defensive lineman it's Coach Mac.

There is no way, I mean NO way Horton runs anywhere near the same 40 time as Clowney. It has to be inflated. Just watch the game film. Horton looks lanky, awkward, and a tad slow. The difference is Clowney's 40 time was clocked at a Nike camp whereas we're taking Horton's coach/parent's word on it. I'd say he runs closer to 4.9.
