I want to feel good about this one, I feel like we have a solid chance. We need him bad, the big fast back we haven’t had in a while.
High chances he gets early pt

Watching his tapes this is who I really want us to get. He is a 3 star but I think he is better than any 4 stars and 5 stars out there. His strength and speed and toughness are what I love..
Ever since we lost the guy who went to Texas A&M we've needed another back like this. How many times did we try to run Killins inside the 5 yard line with no success up the middle? 
Not at all. There's tradeoffs, being big fish in small pond vs being small fish in big pond...not sure which one is actually better in terms of increasing likelihood of getting drafted, but that seems to be the players decision framework
His brother plays for Alabama so playing your brother every year is something
Also, he's from Alabama so you have to think going to an in-state school does give an edge.
I get it and you’re probably right but I wouldn’t be so sure on this one. Seems to have a real strong bond with Gus & Co. He also mentioned in a previous article that both schools have great facilities. Put him on a line with Kheanist, J Johnson and him in the same class…..damn man, that’s crazy good
Got to have the talent but amount of play time is high on the list.
Definitely one of the biggest parts of these decisions.
always makes me laugh how ucf is considered a small pond. get what you are saying but walk around UCF on a September afternoon and it feels massive
Players from FCS schools are getting drafted. Doesn’t really matter where you go now. Digital age has advantages. The real decision is do the kids want to look cool going to SEC school or possibly play earlier at an AAC school.
Not talking about student size or acres. Talking about football $$ and prestige, we are a small pond in that sense
That was expected.
I wouldn't be surprised if they red shirt him and he transfers next year.
Yeah, he's small but he looks like a winner!
I remember having those fire red air jordan 4's. i'm old.
2 CBs put in this morning for Leyton Nelson to UCF
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Would be huge. As we know OL seriously needs guys.
Would be awesome for many reasons... high quality kid/athlete, huge need, local relationships, etc.!
I think I read his twin brother is a TE and not getting a lot of offer love from schools. This could be a 2 for 1 deal, let the brother preferred walk on and compete. We do well with that. Looking for the Henderson twins next!
According to the article on 247, his brother will walk on a a TE/long snapper.
Twin brother. I know their weights are different but there's a good chance he is just as athletic. Will be following both of their careers here.
We’ve had good luck with twins on the team in the past
not to get into a star rating debate, but really liking where we are trending.
All 3 star and above, and already with 5 at 5.7 (almost 4*) and above (Rivals).
in 2020, we had 0 5.7 and above, and in 2021 we got 3 (with the last minute 4*, which really didn’t count as part of the CJH era)
I remember at this point the last 2 years, we had a lot of unrated and 2*.
What a difference a year makes…
danny white was so great for ucf ... coming and going.
247 has us 60th in nation and 3rd AAC. Won’t change much because of numbers we can sign. Average is higher though.
Gus will use the portal quite a bit going forward I’d predict, so until they incorporate transfers, our classes may look worse than they really are.
According to his interview he said the 22 class isn’t going to be the norm. Got a late start so had to go transfer route. 23 and 24 should be a lot better with high school kids.
What a heck of a LOCAL class from TOP HS:
Lakeland, Sanford(potentially), APK, & BOONE so impressive!
