Yay!

 

[NavetG8r]

6'5" and 240lbs? That's a DL? OLB/DE hybrid maybe...

He'll be DT for us in 2 years @ 270#.

 

[NVGator]

Every alert I received said he's a DE.

I haven't seen any film so I don't know if this kid can play but I know 2 things: he is ranked 105 in the state of Florida and he plays 7A ball. Those 2 factors alone tell me this is a good pick up for us.

 

[GatorJ]

Every alert I received said he's a DE.

Yeah. Not sure why people are saying DT. I only see him ranked as a DE.

He looks like he has the frame to add a good bit of weight if the coaches want him to. I can see him as a big end one day.

 

[maheo30]

For those interested, here is a game of his from last season. He is #80. Wow he looks raw. Talented, but raw.

That was his first year playing Football...so yeah...he's raw.

 

[Omar's Coming Yo!]

Great. More projects for the defense.

 

[GatorInGeorgia]

We need to reclaim the state of Florida. Eff going after the California kids, the Alabama kids, the Montana kids, etc. as our first options. If we can consistently land 15-18 kids from the Florida top 100-150 PROPORTIONALLY (meaning getting some top 10, top 20, top 30, etc.), grab a select few studs from GA, AL, SC, NC, VA, LA, etc. we'll be good personnel wise. Still need balanced classes and good coaching, but player wise we'd be good.

 

[Gatorphan]

So what if he's a three star at 6'5" 240lbs? He's only 16 years old!
If we offered him late after he committed to somewhere else as 4-5 star, you people would berate the staff for being late to the party!!!

JFC.......
this is a risk, but a good one for sure.

 

[Durty South Swamp]

yay?

Also, his dad is Regan Upshaw.

He'll be DT for us in 2 years @ 250#.
