Jeffrey Canady - Barbourville KY

[CurveItAround]

Is it really possible that this guy is for real? He is 6'1", 210lbs, runs a 4.55 40, has a 36" vertical, a 3.78 gpa, benches 400lbs, and is only a 2 star recruit with offers from non power conference schools. Unless his Rivals data is all wrong, this guy looks he would be a truck at safety.

He's white.

And that's ok.

Not a lot of natural talent; but he seems to bring his lunch pail everyday.

Probably a coaches son

The only reason I even posted his info is because he is listed as having a 400lb bench press, which is unheard of out of a DB. Assuming that is real, coupled with his height, weight, decent speed and vertical, he would be an interesting prospect. Based on the lack of interest from the major programs, his measurables may not be accurate.

I didn't have lunch pail or coach's son checked in the search filter.

At 6' 1'' and 210 with a 400 lb bench... obviously his arms are way too short to be a DB.

The assumptions in this thread are amazing.

0% chance we have any interest in this kid. I just posted what Rivals reported. No assumptions here. Just thought it was odd.

Info - no question

I also noticed in 2011 he rushed for 1,154 yards on only 105 attempts for a 10.99 average.

So obviously he must really be able to stiff arm defensive players with his short 400 lb bench pressing arms.

[CurveItAround]

You guys are right, as usual. This guy sucks. Here is his crappy youtube video where he also claims to bench 405lbs. We probably couldn't get him anyway, he already has an offer from Eastern Kentucky. Looks like he plays RB, WR, S, LB, and P (48 yd avg). Absolutely not the type of guy we could use around here. Good riddance Mr. Canady, you are not welcome here!

My post was based casual fan's comments about short arms.

I don't think we are recruiting this young man, but he sounds like one heck of an athlete.

This guy is definitely a man vs. boys at the level of talent he's up against and the weight numbers are legit, there are other videos of him benching 405, squatting 500 and cleaning 300. He knocks the hell out of the ball when he punts, but he looks like he's barely kicking it.

My posts were just making jokes following a joke. However, after watching some of his videos on youtube all I can say is he's no joke.

It's like watching Hunter Lee and Michael Stojkovic in the same video. So I'll ask the same question I asked after watching Hunter Lee.

How is he getting passed over?

Coach Mac knows what's best in all cases on everything. #sarcasm

He reminds me of Micah Mosley in high school. He's an interesting kid.

There has to be a back story on this kid or you would think UK, UL and others would be all over him.
