There is only one thing, an achilles injury is pretty severe. Hopefully he can come back to 100% of the athleticism he had as a freshman. If so, our D will automatically be better than this year. The sky is the limit if he is fully recouperated. He brings a DE with the speed of an OLB.
Im not sure, we know he has the straight line speed. In order for him to be able to play OLB it would depend upon his change of direction speed, as well read and recognition skills. Although in a 3-4 scheme or blitz package I can certainly see him being a very effective OLB. Im just not sure about a conventional OLB.
Ugh...let's see: 2003 Freshman year: 3rd down specialist 2004: Soph. year 2005: Jr year, injured; redshirted 2006: RS Jr. year, injured; has applied for medical RS 2007: could STILL be a RS-Junior 2008: Sr? Does that look right?
Well it looks good to me. I wonder how much school he has left. He could get a MBA and finish his football career at the same time.
