Having watched his film can someone explain why he is ranked 50+ as a defensive tackle?

Not enough camp participation

But Alabama wanted him badly and LSU wanted him too. All you need to know.

If Ed Orgeron does one thing well, it's to identify

great DL's so I assume DJ will add a star or two before all is said and done.

Makes sense ... he is who he is regardless of ranking

If Bama and LSU want him that's good enough to make a judgement. He may go to a lot of camps and get noticed enough to make it to 5-star down the road, but he'll still be the same player.

Yeah he is going to be a monster. Needs to beef up a little but should be able to put on weigh easily once he gets into the nutrition and weight program at Clemson

Yep, pretty much his camp participation thus far. I'm like others, the list of his offers is enough to show he's a guy we'd want.

It's not fool-proof, but I like the concept of RankByOffers

RankByOffers .com has him as the 8th best DT in the nation.
There are some issues with the exact details of ranking a player by self-reported offers (i.e. a player could report offers from schools that aren't truly committable and skyrocket up the list).
The flip side is also true that high-caliber players might not be inclined to report what they deem low-level offers (i.e. Xavier Thomas hasn't reported an ECU offer, does that mean they wouldn't take him? HECK NO, but it does lower him in this ranking).
The list penalizes players that commit early and are less likely to continue attracting offers through the course of the season (i.e. Josh Belk is rated #31, but hasn't seen an offer since January and likely won't report another).
It does a great job of weighting certain program offers higher than other (i.e. an Alabama offer is a helluva lot more impressive than a Troy offer).

But the thing you can't know is whether those other offers are committable. There is no perfect way to judge a prospect until they get here- especially when that kid has not yet played his senior year. If he's still only noticed by one service then, I'd have questions.

I have no clue thinking the same thing. Might not go to many camps but he is a little raw but is unblockable and is a beast. He is just one of those over looked guys that happen every cycle. I do think that he has been going to some camps and I think he will really rise in the recruiting rankings and possibly get around top 250-200 to be safe side could be a high riser I've seen unranked guys go to 5*s or top 50 when they update rankings every couple of months. I think he will def go higher and higher in his ranking!!
