6', 185 lbs ... I think he'll be changing positions in college.

he runs a 4.95, so what would he change to?

Good question. He seems to be Riley Dodge sized which is too small to be a quarterback at this level. Maybe they think he has some growth left in him.

If he is that slow, lets hope he is changing to walk-on....I could run faster than that in 7th grade.

[Mean Green 93-98]

According to this source . . .

Height: 6'1" (another source says 6'2")

Weight: 190

40 time: 4.7 (another source says 4.6)

If those numbers aren't exaggerations, that's certainly workable for a kid going into his senior year of HS.

Here's his video:

I watched the first couple of minutes. He's got a nice touch on the ball. From what I saw, his feet look pretty slow to me, though. I'm a little surprised Rivals has him listed as a dual-threat QB.

EDIT: On the play beginning at the 3:54 mark, watch the hit he lays on a defender (I assume LB) at 4:02.

I'm not sure who he plays for, that's definitely not the Sherman Bearcats in the video.

Probably Mesquite Horn. Transferred there but couldn't beat out the starter and went to Sherman.

if he's 6'2" keep him at qb. if he's 6'1" lb or safety?

Smith transferred to Sherman at Christmas break. Will battle returning co-starter Torey Long for QB for the Bearcats.

I saw this kid in Mesquite, he was a back up QB. He sat the bench the whole 2011 season, played some DB.

I believe he transferred to Sherman last spring and unless this guy hit a growth spurt he was only about 6' and a buck 70.

we need a guy that is about 6-4 to play QB with 4.6 speed at a min.

Mobile QBs can get away with being shorter than the prototypical PP.

That is true...he has talent as proven at Parish. Right now i would take anyone that could help us get over the hump and start winning and a regular basis.

[GrayEagle]

Ahem...Riley Dodge was shorter than the prototypical quarterback.

[Greenhorn]

Give me mobility and accuracy.

So does every other school and half the NFL. Just give me a winner.

Dru's father graduated from North Texas.

[GreenGuy123]

Actually, my future son's father graduated from UNT. Strong legacy.
