Appears that he was a 2nd team all district linebacker last season.

For the Klein Collins offense, it all starts up front with a six-man rotation on the offensive line that boasts four seniors led by Darin Kyle. The Tigers are expected to run a multiple-spread attack on offense with Northwestern-commit Jordan Thomas calling the signals.

Can't find a recruiting page through Rivals, Scout, or 24/7.

Any other info?

Under the radar ?

Used to live in the Klein district. A lot of D1 talent comes out of those schools.

Can we pass on this kid?

H-towngreen · July 30, 2013

Can we pass on this kid?

Why? Film looks just fine. He's 6'2 250 heading into his senior year. Plus he's a center, they typically don't weigh 340, just don't tell McKinney that!

Not to mention our current starting center is a freshman. This kid hopefully won't have to worry about taking over the starting center position for another 4 years.

This kid has great technique...good feet. At 6'2 has room to put on weight. Bet Simmonds was excited to get this kid.

Harry · July 30, 2013

After watching Darin's HUDL video twice now -- I will concur with Truss - he can play. This kid is not huge but plays a position where you can get away with it and he has room to grow. His snaps are outstanding, and I mean velocity and accuracy. Watch how quickly the ball gets back to the QB. He has quick feet and plays mean. He can cut block his ass off. And I mean legal cut blocks not chop blocks which are cowardly. My son plays center and I am going to make him watch this kids video.

I will get to see him play as Kingwood is in the same district.

GrayEagle · July 30, 2013

I'm wondering if his commitment is not for track and field. He is one of the best discus throwers in the state, having finished fourth at the last Texas Relays.

Last year was his first season on the varsity in football. This kid is so far under the radar. It's hard to believe that in one varsity season that he stood out over all of the campers. Plus, if he's 6'1", 250, that's undersized for FBS football and the antithesis of Mac's first complaint regarding size.

Being 2nd team all-district, if it's true, doesn't set you apart from our current squad. We're trying to elevate the talent level. On our current squad of 103 roster players (minus kickers/punters/snappers) 86 (83.5%) were first-team all-district. Many were all-area and several were all-state. There are even a few high school all-americans and a juco all-american. This team has talent but it's not up to speed with some CUSA teams. I think getting recognized talent begats getting more (and better) recognized talent.
